I was pretty fired up yesterday about the Speaker of the House election and I did what I really hate doing: I called my Congressman's office. Why do I hate doing that? Because its seriously pointless, you never talk to your actual Congress person and the first year intern who got tasked with answering phones lets you know their level of disgust. I never get any useful information, just “do you have a comment for the Congressman?” in the most distainful voice you can imagine.
I called Congressman Barry Moore’s office to find out who he was going to vote for Speaker of the House. Get this, I was told “It’s confidential.” It’s confidential? Are you kidding me? I was beside myself that my Congressman would basically tell his constituents that they weren’t good enough to be privy to the People’s Business. Well, a couple hours later I found out why - he was voting for Kevin McCarthy and he obviously knew his constituency wouldn’t like that.
Since Congressman Moore doesn’t answer his own phones and instead has staffers do it, you can’t get any information as to why he was voting that way. Like I said, the staffer just asks if you have any comments for him and does not have any information to give you. I want information, providing commentary doesn’t get me that information.
So, why did Congressman Moore vote for Kevin McCarthy? We know its not because Kevin is an honorable, selfless, moral man. He worked in the shadows against President Trump. He votes with the Democrats more than any other GOP Rep we have, which makes him even worse than the ousted Liz Cheney or Little Adam. He’s the roommate of a known Establishment RINO media rat. He’s disgustingly entitled. He’s a Californian. So please Congressman Moore, give us the truth about why you support him. It’s OK if you tell us you did it for campaign money, that would at least be honest.
Sadly though, the answer has to be about shady money deals. Listen, I grew up in Illinois and lived there until 2010. You hear about how corrupt Illinois politics are, but lemme tell you something - Alabama political corruption makes Illinois look like Corruption-in-Training. Seriously. You just don’t hear about it because of how backwoods it all is and because nobody listens to anything coming out of Alabama (including my Substack that has abysmal readership numbers) except that classic rock song that shall not be named. I’ve got stories.
I’ve been a little dismayed about Congressman Moore ever since he got elected. I was actually excited that we were replacing the defunct Martha Roby with new blood, but that quickly soured. Moore's first move was to hire a political crony crook from Dothan, AL by the name of John Ferguson to his transition team: Strike 1. I’ll pick Strike 2 as the way he panders to the geriatrics by setting up all public forums during the workweek, during working hours when the only people who can attend are the those on the public dole and retirees (same thing around here). Now I’m calling his support of Kevin McCarthy Strike 3. There’s several more strikes I could choose from and he was struck out long before this week, but I’m making a point.
I'm disgusted and I don’t know what else to say. At least we still have some hope that California McCarthy won't get a hold of the gavel. The Republican Party at this point just needs to go away into the shitcan of history because it’s truly obsolete. The DNC is obviously the enemy also, so we need a new party. Give that a ponder. What would it take to upend the Establishment and start out fresh? Got any answers? Happy hunting, patriots.
