The so-called RINOs, Republicans in Name Only, are actually quintessential Republicans and are a majority of Congressional Republicans. From Ryan McMaken at mises.org:
Thomas Woods has reminded us more than once that “no matter who you vote for, you get John McCain.” It’s not strictly and always true, of course, but the evidence is clear that it’s often true. The latest example is the GOP’s speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) who has turned out more or less exactly like us skeptics have predicted. Johnson is a friend to the war party, a do-nothing on issues important to the rank and file (like immigration), and a true enemy of the people on issues like warrantless spying.
In recent weeks, Johnson has increasingly doubled down on supporting Washington’s foreign policy blob, and insists on spending at least a hundred billions dollars—dollars the Treasury doesn’t have and the Fed will have to print—on propping up the Ukraine regime. This regime, which Johnson tells us is essential in the battle for “democracy”—whatever that means—has abolished elections, ended the freedom of speech, and even destroyed the basic freedom of exercising one’s religion.
But none of that matters because someone at the FBI told Johnson he must keep spending taxpayer dollars on Ukraine while courting World War III. Johnson—ignoring his constituents as most members of Congress do—has assured the agents of the garrison state that he will help them. Perhaps Johnson’s biggest crime is his ongoing support for a new and vast expansion of the American police state. Johnson now supports securing greater prerogatives for America’s spy agencies who seek to spy on American citizens without warrants indefinitely.
Wasn’t it Mittens that said Songbird McCain taught us how to lose?
Not Sure.
Pauly the Beard Ryan did get spanked in a debate with Brandon for the dunce cap award.
If Sarah Palin rolled lefty she would be beloved and she did some great things for the people of Alaska regarding the oil companies.
That’s how the big UNI club that we aren’t in rolls.
One party rule burns it all down the extra most bestest and those with two brain cells and a synapse knew this Pelosi/McCarthy selection was a poseur.
I loves me some God too but certainly don’t want to hear it out of any politician on an eschatological trip.
They are just stupid and dangerous enough to start up WWIII in hopes that the Messiah they hate will return.

“he won’t be surprised to note that among the greatest champions of expanding unconstitutional state police powers right now is the GOP leadership.”
“They are not Republicans “in name only.” They’re typical Republicans.”
If you look at the cities that spawned the Republican party, they contain the bulk of the population (and Industry) of the US by 1860 – esp. New York, PA, Ohio – https://www.ushistory.org/us/images/1860USA.jpg
Unless you actually care about your neighbor, there is no reason not to defraud him/her, spy on them, or sell them out to the highest bidder.
The only thing that surprises me is that anyone thinks that people who have agreed to serve a donor class as a precondition to even getting approval to seek the party nomination would be serving anyone but those corrupt interests.
You just got Fauci’ed.. again.
