Lowe letter: Republicans
Two hundred words a month is not nearly enough to cover all the irrationality coming out of D.C. ... it’s just not. So, let’s touch on just a few things.
Rep. Mike Simpson on the AHCA bill and Paul Ryan said, “One of the reasons I don’t want this bill to fail is I don’t want Paul to fail.”... Excuse me? Who do you work for again?
Sen. Jim Risch at the Comey hearing was just sad. Full bore word nitpicking. If your boss said to you (after clearing his office of everyone else) that he really hoped you will have that project ready tomorrow, how many of you would take that “hope” as “If you can” instead of “If you know what’s good for you?”
Every time the president or one of his appointee buddies gets called on something, they and their apologists (Spicer, Conway, Huckabee or most of the GOP), start crying what the Clintons, Obama or (insert any Democrat here) did was much worse. As anyone over the age of 5 should know, someone else’s poor behavior never excuses your own.
Lastly, Trump has demonstrated over and over that his life’s motto is “ad me, primum, ultimum semper.” Look it up.
Chris Lowe, Nampa
