The 'real' 'wingnus look forward to Cruz's plan to push "his" repugican-led Senate to be as wingnut and confrontational as "his" repugican-led House.…
It is a fairly safe bet that next to the Koch
brothers, Heritage Foundation, Senate wingnut Fund, and the Club
for Growth, no-one in Washington was as excited with the results of the
midterm elections as corrupt Kentuckian Mitch McConnell. It is
also likely that McConnell has yearned to be Majority Leader throughout
his political career, and although he may end up winning that coveted
title, he will be Majority Leader in name only because 'pure' wingnuts at Heritage Action, Club for Growth, and the Senate wingnut Fund already have anointed Texas Ted Cruz as de facto
leader of both chambers of Congress because he will deliver the
ideological wingnut goods, or decimate the government which is
still a win in their warped minds.
Texas Ted will be the go-to vehicle through which
all far-right rage in Congress, in both chambers, is realized and acted
upon. He may only be a junior senator from Texas, but as such he quickly
parlayed his extremist teabagger credentials into authority as de facto
Speaker of the House over the past two years. How is that possible? He
has the undying support, and unlimited funding, from the interests of
radicalized “pure conservative” groups” such as Heritage Action, the Club for Growth, the Senate wingnuts Fund, teabagger 'patriots' and any anti-government groups loyal to Wall Street and the Koch brothers.
What will prove interesting, if nothing else, is how
McConnell reacts to being relegated to nothing more than a figure-head
after lusting for the Majority Leader designation for three decades. Oh
it is true McConnell adheres to nearly every policy Heritage, Senate wingnuts Fund, and Club For Growth espouse, but he clearly
understands the damage to the repugican brand an extremist like Cruz
can do on the national level. It is important to remember that after
Cruz, as de facto House Speaker, masterminded the government shutdown in
October 2013, the “official” Speaker John Boehner railed against the outside groups that “tricked our guys” into shutting down the government.
Those outside groups understand that they likely
only have two years to enact their anti-government agenda on the nation,
and based on their operative Texas Ted’s plans, they will indeed
attempt to lay waste to every government agency or shut down the
government. Or worse they will allow Ted to force the nation and likely
the world into an economic depression by creating a credit default; that
is how serious they are about effecting the Koch brothers’ vision for
America.
The 'real' wingnuts look forward to Cruz’s plan
to push “his” repugican-led Senate to be as wingnut and
confrontational as “his” repugican-led House. The new Congressional
leader said his first order of business will be “piggybacking on
what House leaders have done for four years and immediately hold a
series of hearings on President Obama’s abuse of power, the executive
abuse, the regulatory abuse, and lawlessness that sadly has pervaded
this administration.” Cruz has mastered corrupt Darrell Issa’s
Obama Derangement Syndrome speech perfectly, and will deliver from the
Senate the same time and money-wasting effort as House repugicans.
Incoming Senate majority leader Ted Cruz revealed
his big plans, and a Koch brother agenda, for both houses of Congress in
his first 100 days as repugican cabal leader according to comments
in the Washington Post. First on his repugican to-do list after
initiating an Issa-like rash of investigations, is orchestrating a
House-Senate reconciliation process to pass a quick, and comprehensive,
“total Obamacare repeal so Obama can veto it” to fire up teabagger
outrage and momentum to do some “serious government reform.” Remember,
that in repugican parlance, reform is code for massive elimination: of
taxes for the rich and corporations, several federal agencies, and every
domestic program the Kochs hate because program or agency that serves
the population and strengthens the country must be demolished.
There is good reason the press questioned Koch, Club
for Growth, and Senate wingnut Fund teabagger candidates for
Senate Jodi Ernst and Tom Tillis about how many federal agencies they
intended to eliminate from the federal budget “when” they controlled the
Congress. Although they never dared list which agencies are slated for
death by Koch vision in public, their major funders and staunch
supporters in the Club For Growth and Senate wingnut Fund had a
pre-designated high-priority list of federal agencies to eliminate at
their first opportunity.
For starters, 'pure' wingnuts included the
Departments of Education, Commerce, Labor, and Agriculture for immediate
and complete elimination that 'real' wingnuts consider the first
step on the path to “limited government” that exists solely to serve the
interests of Wall Street, corporations, and of course the Koch
brothers. That elimination list invariably includes at least slashing
and privatizing Social Security while raising the retirement age as
recompense to Wall Street and financial institutions. Medicare will be
transformed into a coupon for seniors over the age of 72, and Medicaid
will be reduced to a shell of what it is now if it survives at all.
If Americans thought the Paul Ryan Path to
Prosperity budget was harsh, Cruz’s Club for Growth and Senate wingnut Fund masters have a plan that makes Ryan’s budget look christ-generous and will settle for nothing less than ending food
stamps, unemployment insurance, and the federal minimum wage along with
any anti-poverty program “pure wingnuts” and the Koch brothers
consider intolerable in their ideologically perverse libertarian vision
for America.
If any of the racists, religio-wingnuts, and
discontented morons who voted for repugicans and their promise of “pure
theocratic wingnuttery” believe for a nano-second there will be even a
semblance of practical governance, like funding any part of the
government or preventing a credit default and bankruptcy, their
celebratory mood will be short-lived. However, for the “real wingnuts,” with Ted Cruz leading both the House and Senate with his
vicious Koch-teabagger anti-government thugs Mike Lee, Jodi Ernst, and
Tom Tillis at his side, their wildest “drown the government” dream will
be realized.
Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have already laid
out their opening salvo to rape Americans out of their health insurance
and privatize public education. But those are inconsequential compared
to the real damage on the horizon. Even as harsh as taking healthcare
away from a million Americans seems, it is a drop in the bucket compared
to what the Club for Growth, Heritage Action, Senate wingnut Fund,
and Koch brothers have in store for America, and with a “real wingnut” leader like Ted Cruz running Congress, if they don’t
destroy the government they will decimate the repugican brand forever.
