Republicans Short-Sighted

It seems Republicans are short-sighted, have very short memories or both. Every time the Democrats have pushed something off till after an election they did it knowing they were probably going to lose fairly big in that election and the strategy was to push it off so when it went into effect the Republicans would get the blame for the consequences. If they happened to win then they would just mitigate the situation by voting it down or out.
On top of the consequences should they win the senate or the presidency, they also seem not to care about the constitution or the law at all. They are as bad as the Democrats. They should be pushing to make sure everything is implemented on schedule as it was written. The Democrats forced this thing down our throats. The Republicans seem to have no real intent to get rid of it. They should be forcing the Democrats to let it stand as it was written so the American people realize just how bad this thing is. It feels like the Republicans have some hope of fixing it with the excuse that it’s gone too far now to repeal. This was the same thing that happened with Social Security.
Republicans seem to be too stupid to do these things. They talk about repealing Obamacare but even if they won both the Senate and the House and the presidency I somehow doubt they are going to repeal Obamacare. They act like the minority even when they’re in the majority. Instead they will stupidly try to “fix” Obamacare. Of course when all the onerous regulations, taxes and fees, as well as the price increases continue for the healthcare they will get the blame and they’ll be kicked out of office in the next election with everything still in place.
The only way this turns into a win for Republicans is if they actually do repeal Obamacare. They have not shown the grit to do this so I don’t think they’re going to find their spines when it finally comes about.
If Republicans were serious about getting rid of Obamacare and shrinking government they wouldn’t be doing everything they can to hurt Tea Party candidates. They would be doing everything they can to get all the help they can, including from the Tea Party to get Republicans and especially true conservatives elected. The Republicans for the most part, at least the ones we have in congress right now are not really conservatives at all, they are progressives. The only differences between them and Democrats is that they are progressive-lite. They are still for big government and they still think they know better what the American people need than the American people do.
The Republicans are failing the American people in the worst way. At least with the Democrats they don’t hide the fact that for the most part they are communists and socialists that believe in big government. They use all the language of the Marxists and continually remind us how they are for the downtrodden.

Republicans don’t really want to win, they are more than happy to lose as long as the Tea Party and the American people they represent don’t win and show them for what they really are. I suppose they don’t think the American people really know who they are. The nation is imploding and still all they want to do is play their absurd political games. The fact that our Republican representatives are willing to play such games with our lives for the sake of their power and their idea of how to turn this country into a Utopia is appalling and every leader that feels this way should be kicked out of office at the first available opportunity. They clearly are not looking out for our good. Do they really believe all these things they’re “offering” us, read shoving down our throats are free? It seems too many Americans feel what the government gives us is free, but the reality is they only offer us things out of what they take from us in taxes in the first place. We still pay for it!
