Here's what I see.
Massie has been in office 13 years and has seemingly built no support or coalition for his side. He's just a no vote that the other members of the House just ignore.
What I don't see from his is a vision or pathway towards anybody supporting him. No incrementalism or anything.
So if the bill isn't perfect, he won't vote for it, and that makes him about as bad as democrats because he'd rather hurt his own party than vote for something that isn't perfectly aligned with his principles and that's a significant mistake on his part. We could end up in a much worse situation.

Because a lot of people would rather win with garbage than take a gamble on greener pastures that if you lose, you end up with someone elses garbage.RDV-1992 said:

You assume he's a no vote because he wants perfection. When in actuality he's a no vote because the choice is garbage.AgLiving06 said:

Most congress critters need a nurse, and should be in prison. About perfect, imho.GAC06 said:

I pursued mechanical engineering while @ A&M and successfully navigated my way to a 0.7GPA prior to transferring to Mays.Quote:
That's the kind of leadership I bring to the table, not just as a nurse, but as someone who's also pursued studies in criminal justice and homeland security.

You were promised the Big Beautiful Bill would do these things but it does NOT:
— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) June 29, 2025
❌ Prohibit welfare for illegal aliens
❌ Stop funding sex changes for kids
❌ End registration of suppressors
❌ Defund planned parenthood 10 yrs
❌ Implement REINS Act
❌ Reduce the deficit
Yes, but lest ye blame the Senate, watch the House now vote for the lobotomized version 2.0 product.

The initial promises got pro-life, pro-border-security, and pro-gun groups to whip for version 1.0
House Reps voted for it, got pregnant, & now will vote for version 2.0

Despite Massie being wrong as hell on Iran, if he loses, then every other principled conservative would realize that they need to jump on the RINO bandwagon to keep their job. Any chance of cutting government would evaporate.

The GOP is just a tad to the right of the Dems, fiscally, and not progressive, socially. Only diffference.
It's already evaporated. This was our chance and we blew it. If we couldn't do it now we never will.aTmAg said:
