HEROES AND ZEROS
05.15.2023
If you’ve been with us for a while you know we have never been shy about calling out Republican legislators as well as Democrats.
Today we have a different story.
As we told you earlier, every single Republican Senator refused to show up today for the grotesque parody we have been witnessing in Salem.
Today, three of then reached their tenth day of “unexcused absences” meaning under Ballot Measure 113, they cannot run for office in the next election cycle. We have no reason to believe more will not follow in the days ahead.
So, before we do one more thing, let’s send our gratitude to those who took the point in the the ugliest time in Oregon politics.
They crossed the Rubicon for us and for something the bottom dwellers in the Democrat caucus could never understand. Principle.
So right now, please reach out with an expression of thanks for a level of courage unheard of in modern politics.
HEROES
ZERO
Wagner personifies everything venal, arrogant, petty and, ultimately, stupid about Oregon’s modern Democrats.
He has no concept of personal integrity, no honor, and no interest in anything except the acquisition of power. So it’s been instructive to watch him grow increasingly frazzled as his threats and bluster failed to intimidate the Senate Republicans.
Today he blathered on about the Constitution. Something he and his fellow Democrats have never given a damn about before and certainly have not considered as they steamrolled extremist bills they know are unconstitutional.
Wagner is outraged ! OUTRAGED! that Republican Senators have peacefully walked away from this disgraceful sideshow even as his ilk praise the riots and disruptions that take place when something happens his party does not like.
He continually refers to the passage of Ballot Measure 113 as some kind of holy grail because the “people” of Oregon passed it, never mentioning that they also passed the catastrophic Ballot Measure 110 and a series of other ballot measures the leftists in the legislature immediately went to work to overturn. The will of the “people” only counts when it aligns with his extremist agenda.
The “will of the people” meant nothing when the people of Columbia County voted twice for a Second Amendment sanctuary ordinance.
But now Wagner and his fellow travelers are out of plays. The Senators they have been threatening have called their bluff and placed integrity over self interest. And cowards and liars like Wagner have no cards left to play.
Please take a minute to send a message of support to the men who stood up for us today.
