One more evidence of the similarity between the republicans and the democrats seems to be their willingness to compromise with the democrats even when they all all the cards.
The democrats call them the "Party of NO". bigots, racists, and homophobes and all they do is cave in every time. I suppose in some ways they are worse than the democrats. At least the democrats are clear about what they believe and want for this nation, even though they know it will destroy the nation. The republicans say one thing but are regularly willing to cave in. They only time they make a strong sounding stance is when it seems they realize that it won't make any difference.
I can't help but wonder how many of them would have caved in and voted for Obama care if they hadn't had the democrat votes to make it happen. Already the rumors are flying that they're getting ready yet again to give in on the debt ceiling, the budget, the cuts and higher taxes.
So again I ask, what is the difference between the republicans and the democrats. Well I suppose you might say that the republicans are spineless.
They have no stomach to fight back. They have no stomach to call the democrats the party of irresponsibility. Not a word from them of how the democrats have not yet put forward any budget. All they can do is criticize what others do, but they aren't willing to do anything themselves.
Why is it that the democrats get a pass on this when republicans never would? Again the reason is because the democrats are a bunch of wimps.
The president breaks the constitution by declaring war without the consent of congress. This has nothing to do with the War Powers Act. The war powers act does not trump the constitution so why is the congress and especially the republicans not making a big deal out of it. Because they're afraid of being called racists. As I've said... SPINELESS.
Maybe they're looking to get themselves kicked out of power again for the last time so they can say there was nothing they could do about the democrats plans to destroy this country as a free nation. Maybe they think the democrats will give them some bread crumbs of favors, or maybe it is that they just don't really know what they're doing either and are paralyzed with the fear of doing the wrong thing. If this is the case then they most certainly shouldn't be in the positions of leadership we've given them.
I further don't understand this business of secret meetings with the president. Didn't they promise us more transparent government? But then didn't the democrats do the same thing and then carry out almost the entire Obama care bill in secret only showing it hours before they were ready to vote on it. All they wanted was to pretend they were being transparent.
It would seem our dear republicans are about to do the same thing. They're going to settle on a deal, present it to us as the greatest thing since sliced bread and tell us how they had to compromise. Are we really going to believe that tripe again?
Have you noticed they don't talk about repealing the health care bill anymore. This goes to show that they think they talked about it enough to get elected, but really had no intent on carrying through with it. They know all they have to do is nothing long enough and it will be in place. Once it's in place they will behave as though there is nothing they can do about this either.
It is hard to tell if the republicans really believe the American people are in any way in favor of higher taxes? If they feel pressure from the media about this and are actually stupid enough to believe anything the media says right now, or if they're in collusion with the democrats on this secretly.
Do the republicans not get the message themselves of why we sent them to Washington and gave them the landslide we did? If they don't then it means that they are even more stupid than we thought and they do need to go along with most all of the incumbents.
Sadly I'm becoming more convinced that the last election was really our last chance and that we blew it in the ones that we picked. We still got the same leadership at the top of both parties and this is what is driving things in the same direction it has been going all along.
Will we give up or even throw away our freedom. Do we even understand what freedom really means anymore. Do we understand that if we try another form of government we will never get this one back again, nor will we ever have the same freedoms, rights and liberties that we've had with this one.
Consider carefully before you sit back and just let congress and the president do what they're doing.
