Cojones nonexistent, always too quick to give in. The GOP snatches defeat from the jaws of victory again. Winning is not in their playbook, they never stand firm. If offered an easy way out, they're quick to confirm. Money's more powerful than any convictions they have. It can ease a bad conscience, like a miraculous salve. It can feather bare nests, it's easy to secret away. It's called selling out, the game that politicians all play. We know when it happens, when they cross the damn aisle. When they're seen suddenly sporting a big guilty smile. There billions of dollars used to buy votes in D.C. It's all tax exempt money the IRS is not going to see. They succomb to huge money or blackmail traps. Like having sex with minors, like Epstein's evil crap. Evil's around every corner, exploiting human weakness. We are all birds of a feather there is no uniqueness. Whats a payoff of millions, when theres billions to spend. In no time at all honest politicians are gone with the wind. They change votes, they change parties or they retire. Big money also buys silence, when feet are held to the fire. The democrats have it mastered, they know every trick. It's an ungodly thirst for power, it's demonrat schitck. Next time the GOP weasels out, they're selling their souls. The demonrats get a win, realizing their satanic goals. We the people wind up getting shafted, and nobody cares. Politician's only agenda is how quick they get theirs. D.L. Crockett -- 12/31/23
