In reply to the discussion: Where should Kinzinger go in the Harris administration? [View all]harumph
(2,402 posts)16. Republicans only offer tax cuts to the rich and cuts to entitlements for the rest of us.
That's it. That's the sum total of what they have in the skillet. They're not even a party that provides
better market performance. Their "job creators" don't even provide jobs, but rather hoard their wealth
because our regressive tax system allows them to. They're flacks for the ultra wealthy.
They don't even provide more security for the US from external threats. Because of their laser beam like focus on
the accumulation of unseemly levels of wealth, they can't even "keep an eye out for the common defense."
Promotions within their party are not based on anything we would associate with "merit" but rather
who can suck up the best. In short, they're good for nothing.

Appointing a cabinet member from across the aisle is only done when the other party is interested in compromise.

My opinion is nowhere. I don't care how much he talks about the Republican party, he's still one.
