Remember the days of the Cold War, when the USSR would change leadership there would be a huge purge of those that were in bed with the previous premier? Stalin did it…..Krushev did it…..on and on……they would purge these people because they did not fit into the grand plan……..but all that stuff just has the smell of what is happening in the US Congress…..NO! I am NOT calling these people communists! Only that there are similarities on the events occurring now…..
I will bet that you, my reader, is scratching your head and wondering just what the Hell I am going on about, huh?
The other day, the #3 GOP leader, Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee is resigning as the head of the Republican conference in his resignation he said…..”Stepping down from the Republican leadership will liberate me to spend more time trying to work toward results on the issues I care the most about,” he said.
Sounds good and promising….but personally, I think he was purged because he is a moderate Repub in a sea of extreme conservs……in a Senate where compromise is a dirty word….a senator like Alexander is an unwanted person in a leadership capacity….he may want to put smiley face on his resignation….but the truth is he was PURGED!
And no matter how much a smiley face or some noble BS…the truth is that he is a moderate and in such is NOT capable of passing the purity test….and they cannot have a moderate in a position of leadership….I say again….HE WAS PURGED!
