GOP Rep. Jim Jordan says it's 'wrong' for Senate Republicans to work with Democrats on bills endorse

[In It to Win It]

Business Insider via Yahoo News

When President Joe Biden entered the Oval Office last year, he expressed a commitment to working across the aisle with Republicans to craft legislation — something he practiced in his 36-year career in the Senate.

From last year's $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package to a recent $52 billion chips-funding bill, the administration has notched some major successes in attracting support from Democrats and Republicans and breaking part of the filibuster logjam that has become an all-too-common form of blocking legislation in recent years.

However, the wave of consensus doesn't sit too well with Rep. Jim Jordan, the conservative Ohio Republican and longtime ally of former President Donald Trump who could play a major role in Congress next year if Republicans win back control of the House.

Jordan recently told Politico that Senate Republicans who join their Democratic counterparts in supporting legislation backed by Biden are "wrong."

"I wish they wouldn't," the lawmaker said of his GOP counterparts in the upper chamber.

1. Gym Jordan wants to be in Government, but not actually Govern?

Those Republicans elected to higher office are elected to SERVE THE PEOPLE and their best interests, not amass power to stop serving the people. But that ideal flew out the window before Bush 43 came in. Republicans today want the title but to hell with the work.

Out of another side of his mouth, he wants Democrats to work with Republicans on legislation that Democrats know to NOT be in the best interest of the people when they are in the majority.

2. It's called doing your job Gym

Something you've had a hard time doing through most of your pathetic life.

3. It's part of the job, Jim.

I worked with lots of people I didn't like and didn't agree with, but we all put our differences aside to get the job done.

Jordan and his type never learned that basic principle of humanity.

It's not about who is supporting the bill, Jim, it's all about what the bill contains.

4. "Party over Country" is what Jordan is saying--GOP should be tagged with this line

That's because, Jordan is basically stating that even when there is legislation that both parties agree would help the county by solving problems or making improvements, Republicans should not work with Democrats to bring them into reality. That's terrible, and people even in red states should be made aware.

8. Yes, Democrats should hammer him with this statement now and whenever he's up for reelection.

Paint him as unpatriotic. Paint him as caring more about owning the libs than actually helping anyone. Absolutely paint him as party over country-party over his own constituents--because he is.

And please, let the ads be narrated by a veteran.

Political compromise is a sin. It's why they want to destroy democracy.

7. It's my sincerest hope that Dems finally see the light ....

And realize that they're dealing with nothing but pieces of amoral, treasonous pieces of shit people in that GQP US Taliban party, and treat them as such.

Working together has the danger of making things run well. When you hate the US, you should prevent it from working well.
