Independence is Good for Congress

written by Guest Contributor Mark Shepard June 6, 2024

While I agree with the majority of Republicans that reelecting President Trump is very important, I do appreciate that we have a congressman that, while also supportive of President Trump, has done so with independent consideration.    

With the possible exception of people who profit from high-energy costs, high regulation, drug and sex trafficking or wars, under Trump Americans were safer and more prosperous.   Indeed there are many reasons to vote for Trump, but the number one reason to re-elect President Trump is because the attacks he has been under since his 2016 election have truly been attacks on all Americans and the American constitutional system of government.   

Perhaps Trump’s most valuable contribution to our nation has been to expose the deep cancer in our country and the power-consumed mindset of those who control the Democrat Party.  So, whether we agree or not with Trump on all policies, our first priority must be to right the wrongs committed by those who have weaponized the justice system for political gain.  Putting Trump back in the Oval Office is part of accomplishing that.

But Trump, like any president, still needs the check and balance of an independent Congress.   Trump loves to solve problems and Americans elected him for that.  But having great power easily seduces people into thinking government force is the best tool to solve problems.

How much better off we would be if in 2020 we had a Congress that would have challenged Trump’s Operation Warp Speed program to rapidly create a COVID vaccine. The same is true with the spending of trillions of “stimulus” dollars for people to not work, instead of working for the best way to keep most Americans working and productive.   Americans have paid dearly, including serious health problems, deaths and a great reduction in our standard of living, because we did not have an honest debate on those ideas.

I do not want a congressman who is so glued to the president that he cannot see the weak spots in the president.  Electing “Trump-rubber-stamp” members of Congress would be a huge mistake.   Power needs checks and balance.  That is why I am voting to re-elect Congressman Bob Good in the Republican Primary, which is on June 18 and is open now for early voting.  Bob Good has proven he considers ideas independent from the political pressures.   Bob supports Trump, but he also provides a check and balance.    

Surely, even the most ardent Trump supporters would be grateful if we were not still paying such a heavy price from bad decisions under Trump.  That $600 stimulus check has been spent again and again paying for the inflation it produced.  Just like the “quick-fix” unchallengeable vaccine, the stimulus checks have proved to be very foolish.   A vote for Bob Good sends a very needed message to Washington DC, while also affirming the need to elect Trump in November.

Another comment related to the above article, if I may?
With all the good Trump has done while President, his legacy might be in being duped, due in part to his massive ego, in accepting the advice vomited out by his advisors in introducing the clot shot to the world.
The amount of deaths, and injuries that have been, and continue to be reported are staggering. All of course, being censored by the MSM, including the frauds at Fox.

To me, the real enemies are “communists disguised as Republicans.”

As I said in a previous post; a vote for McGuire is a vote for another neo-con, globalist hack; like his puppet master Kevin McCarthy.
Congratulations Donald on another asinine move.

Equally disturbing about the McGuire candidacy are the fingerprints of the Kevin McCarthy cabal funding his campaign. MTG for all her favorable facets, was (and probably still is) a vigorous McCarthy ally. Among Trump’s weaknesses are his well known susceptibility to flattery, his thin skin and his notoriously bad judgement in selecting advisors. I fear he has “gamed” by disloyal advisors who do not protect his interests. Additionally, he and McGuire have initiated a level of “conservative on conservative” savagery that most Republicans are unwilling to direct toward our real enemies – Communists disguised as Democrats.
