My Letter to Congressman Barry Moore (R, AL)
Congressman Moore, I have to say I'm pretty upset with you right now. For several reasons, but we'll just stick with this week and everything surrounding your support of Kevin McCarthy. I've called your office three times in the last few days to get information on why you choose to back Kevin McCarthy, and it was only on the third call that I got the most milquetoast, pre-written, generic response from the most unconvincing, uninterested, disingenuous intern yet. "Congressman Moore stands with other strong conservatives in supporting Kevin McCarthy for Speaker." What a croc of baloney. The second intern I spoke to straight up lied to me on the phone and told me your position on supporting Kevin McCarthy was listed on your website. I didn't find it. The first 2 wouldn't tell me where they were from and only your third would tell me "I'm from the district" meaning, what? Telling a constituent you are from Troy or Black or wherever isn't exactly PPI or national security. It's personable and relatable. Do you actually have people from down here in Alabama doing the work for your constituents? The answer she gave me is the same kind of answer I get from media "journalists" when I turn the questions on them. "I'm with the local news" is the answer I get, when it turns out they're actually just a contributor to AL dot com. I've got other contacts in other states who say they usually get their actual Congress person to answer the phone and talk, but I do understand that Alabama Reps don't really do that. Martha Roby didn't either. I digress.
So why exactly are you supporting the California RINO known as Kevin McCarthy? I can't get a real answer from anyone in your office. Nancy Pelosi is from California. The same one as Kevin. Yesterday Nancy Pelosi said she wished Kevin McCarthy had gotten selected on the 1st vote. Kevin is Nancy's pick for Speaker, which should have been your jumping off point. One of your fellow McCarthy-ites on Newsmax just said you'd all get Democrats to reach across the isle to help elect Kevin instead of just picking someone else. Unbelievable. You're supporting someone who worked in the shadows against Trump, did nothing to help the people being railroaded by the J6 Clown Show, didn't stop the Omnibus boondoggle, and fights harder for the corrupt Ukrainians than he does the American people. I'm beside myself right now at this Kevin Fever you 197 Republicans have for him.
Kevin's time is over. He doesn't have the votes. The latest Rasmussen poll shows the majority of Republican voters want someone else. The "strong conservatives" are the 20 who are voting for someone else. It's time to vote for someone else and I completely expect you to change your vote in the next round to whoever else is nominated. Its time to move on from #1 RINO. The guy who stands up on the House floor and says "I've earned this job" says that because everyone knows he hasn't. The guy who has to say that knows he absolutely has not. I implore you to evolve on your position for Speaker.
