Fred Upton, Republican and former U.S. Representative,
on endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 bid for the White House:
“Watching [him] day after day, he’s ignored the advice of
many senior, respected Republicans to stay on the issues. Instead, he’s still
talking about the election being stolen, trashing women left and right. He’s
just totally unhinged. We don’t need this chaos. We need to move forward, and
that’s why I’m where I am. [Kamala Harris and Tim Walz] want to get things
done, and the only way to get that to happen is to work on a bipartisan basis.
I'm convinced that Harris has more ability to do that than [The Felon]. I’m
convinced that those of us who are willing to stand up now will be at the table
as we try to chart a path to resolve these issues. They are too important to
ignore. ... At some point, the country has to come ahead of party, and that’s
what this is all about."
I again ask: how many Democrats have said they will vote for
The Felon? ::::crickets:::: And I believe for every Republican who comes out
for Kamala they are dozens and dozens more who are silently, quietly, planning
to vote Blue.

Yes, I hope there are legions behind Fred Upton as well.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but think there are more like Upton and those others who've stepped up.
DeleteAs we get closer to the election, I don't doubt we'll see more Republicans telling the country they're voting for Harris.
ReplyDeleteI see that happening.
DeleteWhere are the Bush boys? Pappy Bush would be spanking them - hard!
ReplyDeleteYeah, those little pansies are trying to play the neutral card.
DeleteI hope against hope that Donald Duck doesn't win, but I worry that there is too much misogyny amongst American males and that the world will come to an end within the next 4 years.
ReplyDeleteBut women are 51% of the population so maybe it's time women, and the men who support them, step up and make their votes heard!
DeleteI'm scared but hopeful.
ReplyDeleteI'm more worried, but still hopeful.
DeleteNo one ever needs to know how you voted! Just make damned sure you vote!
ReplyDelete👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
DeleteThe idea that the 'better people' will end up being Repugs who came to their senses will make those 'on the fence' idiots even more stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Barack. He let Cheeto HAVE IT in the rally yesterday. It was fabulous.
XOXO
I do believe that there are GOPers secretly voting Harris. And MAGAt wives voting for her in secret, too!
Deletexoxo
🥰👏 Cher! Gurrll!! I wish it was always the case that giving back was on the minds of people who have plenty. Nobody successful got there without us "little people." We buy the products and the concert tickets, etc. We build the roads they ship on and stadia/concert halls they play in, etc. And, with President Harris, we are gonna tax those who have used us for too long without giving back...I'm talking to you, Elon Musk, you disgusting subsidy-sucker! And, under President Harris, Musk should also be charged with treason! A private citizen calling Vladimir Putin to discuss suppressing the rights of whole nations! Yah, textbook treason!! 🤬
ReplyDeleteand he is an immigrant!
DeleteI remember when The Felon called Elon 'Leon,' and so I have taken to mixing up his last name too: Leon Skum.
DeleteSupposedly naturalized citizens like Elon Musk can lose their citizenship and be deported under US law for acts of sedition or treason. So much for the immigrant that hates immigrants. :(
DeleteThe rants of the Felon are often indecipherable, and who talks about the endowment of a dead golfer? How is that relevant to anything? Unhinged is a good term. Logic makes the choice clear, vote with your heart. Welcome, Jermelle to life that is true to your own self, self acceptance and happiness are hand-in-hand.
ReplyDeleteHe is clearly mentally ill or else his educational level is that of a first grader.
DeleteAnd, as those who have already come out know, self-acceptance is the key to coming out.

ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
💙💙💙
DeleteUnhinged? ✔️ Bloated, misogynistic, etc etc? ✔️✔️ AND, if I wanted a President for Life, it'd be Barack Obama, with maybe Pete as his VP! Vote, vote, vote!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Obama-Buttigieg would have been fabulous!
DeleteI'd not heard of this Jermelle chap, but what a LUVERLY message! Huge thanks and hugs to him!
ReplyDeleteI did not know him either, but welcome!
DeleteHope you're feeling better, sir!
Thankx for asking, B. Getting there, but with arm still in plaster - next Tues will make 4 weeks. What has made a lot of difference mentally is hearing that when plaster comes off in another 2 weeks it seems that surgery will likely NOT be needed, though it's still not certain - so here's hoping!
DeleteNo surgery would be great news; here's hoping! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
DeleteWe have such a different form of government in Canada. The party that wins the most seats forms government, and the leader of that party becomes Prime Minister. He/she must win their seat, though, and only the constituents of their riding vote for them. (There are issues with the current system, and some talk of a change but no consensus has been reached).
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me the Republicans could vote Harris/Walz and be free to vote for the Republican candidates for the House/Senate, correct? As Upton suggests, it seems it is time to put country before party.
It should ALWAYS be country before party. Sadly ....
DeletePlease may reason reign!
ReplyDeleteIt'd be a gloriously welcome change!
DeleteThank you Cher. I've always liked her. I agree with that final paragraph, not a single Democrat would vote for that lumpy, orange, hate-filled person.
ReplyDeleteI seriously think there are many Republicans who will vote for Kamala; many in the GOP are tired of him.
DeleteBoy, I really, really hope Fred Upton is the voice of a movement.
ReplyDeleteHe's not alone in the GOP so you'd have to assume there are others who are afraid to say anything.
DeleteFirst, y'all give out toaster ovens???? ;) Obama is absolutely spot-on whenever he talks about TFG and Cher is a goddess! I wonder if Barbara Bush was still alive if she'd slap some sense into those 2 sons of hers? #VoteBlue xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe Toaster Oven is a little old school, but The Gays seem to like them.
DeleteThose Bush boys just cannot go against the party, even if they aren't supporting The Felon.
Obama and Cher are indeed spot on!
