Lets just assume that the GOP leaders we have in Congress are real idiots. Is that true or is it just a grift? Are many of the GOP leaders that goddamned stupid or are they just that goddamned evil? There's a combo of both but I want to concentrate on the ones I know aren't dumb but act that way for money, fame, attention and more money . These people KNOW better, but also realize that MAGA, the ones left anyway, are gullible as hell and like the phony televangelists know, these people are ripe for the grift .
1-- John Neely Kennedy Republican Senator from the Swamps of Looziana
Kennedy was a Democrat until 2007 when he realized the pot of gold waiting for him in conservative country. Kennedy went to Vanderbilt, got a law degree form Virginia, then went overseas to Oxford where he piled it even deeper with yet another degree. Not exactly a dummy right? He even talked like an educated man, endorsed John Kerry over W in 2004. He lost attempts to win a Senate seat as a Democrat and then it hit him....Start talking like Foghorn Leghorn and switch parties. In 2016 he won the Senate seat formerly held by prostitute enthusiast David Vitter and the rest is the con. Kennedy isnt dumb, he just acts that way for power.
2-- Ted Cruz Republican Senator from the Texas Republic
Rafael Edward Cruz was born in Canada sometime in the Middle Ages the son of a Cuban vampire named also Rafael. After Rafael abandoned the family when little Rafe was only 4 and flew to Texas, poor little Rafael was stuck in Canada where he would have been nationally ridiculed as a geek. But later Junior Rafael moved to Texas to be with his Papa where at the age of 13 he dressed up in a tiny suit, imagined himself to be President, and changed his name to Ted because Texas is totally not racist. Ted went to Princeton and then to Harvard Law when he came back to Texas and began saying y'all. So with that Harvard Law degree, Ted decided that more importantly it was mandatory to talk about "elites" like him and hope nobody in Texas noticed. They didnt, or at least enough of them didnt and Ted went to the Senate in 2013. It was also here where Ted decided to portray himself as a condescending asshole which led to the famous Lindsey Graham quote that if Ted Cruz was murdered on the floor of the Senate there'd be 99 suspects. Ted is the opposite of acting dumb when he's not, he's just an evil prick
3--Elise Stefanik Republican Congresswoman from New York where her parents live
Elise was born in 1984 where she was vaccinated with a sense of sociopathic ambition. Another little girl who probably idolized a hated woman like Maggie Thatcher because of her sociopathic disease Elise entered Harvard and obtained a degree in Government. She hacked around working for W and Alfonse D'Amato and helped prepare fellow Ayn Rand enthusiast Paul Ryan for his catastrophic 2012 debate with Joe Biden who kept gesturing who IS this fuckin guy whenever Ryan opened his Randian scabbed mouth. It was at this point Stefanik pounced. Ryan was on his last legs and this was HER time. She moved to her parents congressional district, and ran for Congress and won at age 30, a little old to be Tracy Flick but whatever. Stefanik laid low voting as a moderate and then when Trump was impeached she leaped into action becoming a TV pimp for the Former Guy totally changing her modus operandi . She slipped right in when the MAGAts made Liz Cheney walk the plank and grabbed her leadership spot. Stefanik isnt dumb either, shes just a back stabbing ambitious sociopath who will kill anyone in her way to the top.
4--Kyrsten Sinema Republican Senator from Arizona
Ok I know "officially" she's a Democrat but she's also the major boulder in the road to getting anything done. Kissing up to Mitch McConnell and looking for all the attention she can get either by acting weird or dressing like a clown, Sinema was born Mormon. She went to BYU and then at the age of reason moved to Arizona and gave up her hope of Planet Kolob being real. Getting a Master of Social Work from Arizona State (wow) Sinema began working for Ralph Nader and joined the Green Party. She said she was a socialist, hated Joe Lieberman and called Reagan and W "the real Osama lovers"....JFC I'm in love with 2005 Kysten Sinema...Then she ran for Congress and the money began to roll in. Socialist Sinema became capitalist Sinema and here we are. Her Senate campaign in 2018 against the disaster known as Martha McSally was successful and even MORE money rolled in making Sinema rich as long asshe looked out for her donor class. Sinema isnt dumb, she's maybe the smartest person in any room she's in, but her mental state is complete me me me and she may be the most sociopathic person in the room, unless Elise Stefanik or Josh Hawley is around.
5--Dan Crenshaw Republican House member from the Barbary Coast or Texas
Crenshaw was born in Scotland so there's a bit of an explanation for his goofiness. He went to high school in Columbia which may explain more of his goofiness. Crenshaw went to Tufts University and when out joined the US Navy where he earned a Seal accreditation so he's one tough son of a bitch thats for sure. He got a lot of medals and got his right eye blown out in Afghanistan. Sounds like the perfect Democrat to me but alas, he went to Harvard, probably got sick of the "elitist" bullshit and went to Texas to grift the rubes. He won a close House race in the Houston burbs by screaming border border border scaring the shit out of white people and the rest is Crenshaw goofy. He caters to the MAGAts but then gets a bit irritated with them and trashes their cultism. So Crenshaw cant really decide what side he's on. He seems to be a bit like an aginner , he gets irritated by whatever the presiding view is around him. He HAS to be the smartest most reasonable guy in the room or else. He aint dumb he just pretends to be at times and that must hurt like hell.
I don't know what to do about it. Pretending to be what you aint may be Politics 101 but that doesn't mean we have to accept it, right? Right?
