50. Good Republicans?
Fri Feb 6, 2026, 09:12 AM
17 hrs ago

There have been a smattering of them in the last 50 years. But, to get back to when the Republican Party actually cared about Americans, not Wall Street or the Military Industrial Complex, you have to go back to the 70's. Then, The R's in Congress voted with the Dems on a Clean Air/Water Act and passed it. Nixon vetoed it, and then Congress overrode the veto, with the help of dozens of Republicans. They must have been left over from Eisenhower's Administration. Once they aged out, the R's have been about nothing but power and money. And like I said, there were a few that had some common sense, but even they voted against the public's good many times. They just weren't morons about it.
