VOTER ID OR RESIGN: Thune Refuses to Force the Vote on SAVE Act
By The Geller Report
John Thune is backstabbing….again, betraying the voters he claims to represent.
Thune is already backing away from the SAVE Act, suddenly fretting about the “implications” of forcing Democrats to actually talk during a filibuster. He’ll
He knows the truth: his spineless, gutless RINO allies would kill voter ID to protect their careers. So instead of honoring the deal to use a standing filibuster and force a real vote, Thune is ducking, weaving, and stalling — Mitch McConnell 2.0 in a cheaper suit.
This is why we lose elections. Not because of Trump — whose approval rivals peak Bush and Obama — but because of weak Republican leadership that caves before the fight even begins.
If you cannot pass a bill backed by more than 80% of Americans, you don’t deserve the job.
The “implications” of making Democrats speak are nothing compared to the consequences of fraudulent elections.
Thune gave his word. If he breaks it, history will remember him as exactly what he is proving himself to be.
Thune Fumbles SAVE Act Opportunity
Republican Leader says “talking” filibuster will take too much time
By: Senate Conservatives Fund, February 3, 2025:
Senate Republican Leader John Thune (R-SD) announced yesterday that Republicans would not use a “talking” filibuster to break the Democrats’ obstruction of the SAVE Act.
This makes no sense.
Stopping non-citizen voting in federal elections is not only a widely popular idea, but it’s also essential to securing our nation’s future.
Thune said a talking filibuster would “tie up the Senate” and take up limited floor time needed for other things.
This is the worst excuse he could have made. The Senate only works two and a half days a week now, so there’s plenty of time to do what it takes to save our country.
The sad truth is that there are still too many Senate Republicans who are unwilling to fight for our principles and values. They hide behind the 60-vote threshold to fool their own voters.
Sean Davis at The Federalist explained this well.
Senate Republicans refuse to force standing filibusters, which would lead to bills passing with only 51 votes, because it would condition their own voters to actually getting the laws they were promised enacted into law. Can’t have that, now can we.
Second, such a process would expose the 10-15 most worthless Republicans who would vote against these bills, showing that even with a majority, Republicans somehow never have a majority.
As a result, they use the 60-vote threshold as a handy excuse for their own refusal to ever do anything they promise. They always have the time and the votes to shovel your money to Ukraine or to carve out new tax loopholes for their corporate lobbyist friends.
What they have no time or patience for is doing anything their actual constituents demand. And that right there is why Republicans are going to get destroyed in November if they don’t start doing what they promised.
This should make every conservative’s blood boil.
And it should make us work harder than ever to elect strong conservatives who share our values and will do what it takes to advance our priorities — even if that means working a normal five-day work week.
Democrats have openly vowed to blow up the Electoral College and add two new states to cement their power.
(Congressman John Rose)
“House Republicans MUST hold the line and refuse to fold on something as fundamental as election integrity. The SAVE Act belongs on must-pass legislation.”
Force the vote — or step aside.If Congress won’t pass a bill that 83% of US citizens are asking for— that means we have taxation without representation.
