I have a burning question that I just cannot seem to answer and no matter how much I try to understand I never do fully. The question is what the heck is wrong with the Conservative Right and the GOP Republican Party and unless you are a staunch Republican you are going to be asking that question right along with me.
When the GOP ran both the Senate and the House in POTUS Obama’s first term of office; nothing really got done and Obama had to overwrite them many many times through Executive Orders. In fact Obama’s first term is wrapped in the papers of reams and reams of Executive Orders which is a sure sign that the two governing bodies of our country are not able to compromise with each other.
Even former POTUS CLINTON said this in his speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2012; basically saying “what the hell is going on with these Republicans? When I was in office I was able to talk to them. We compromised. We came together for the good of America and solved problems!” NOT with THE 111TH CONGRESS DID THIS EVER HAPPEN. And, when Speaker Boehner took over as Speaker of the House it only got worse. It has gotten so bad that even aides of the President do not speak to aids of the Speaker. And, the people of this country cannot vote the Speaker out of office – only members of congress can get him out of office. That is truly insane.
Now in this new congressional body the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES have overrun the HOUSE by 232 member of GOP Tea Party Members who are trying to repeal Obamacare which is now a LAW. Even the Supreme Court of this country said it was legal and constitutional but members like MICHELLE BACHMANN are determined to undermine Obama at every turn. In the Senate there is also another Tea Party Pooper named RAND PAUL, son of Ron Paul, the Junior Senator from Kentucky. Since Rand has been in office (november 2012) he has done absolutely nothing but stick his foot in his mouth. I am eagerly waiting to see what other parts of his body he will stick his foot into.
Why is this happening? Some Republicans have turned away from their own party in confused disgust. My late mother would be puking at the sight of what is happening and what is being said today. I’m sure if she were alive – all 90 years of her would be spitting mad. This is NOT the USA I grew up in and this is NOT how I was raised to fear monger and treat other people like crap. The Republicans are in such total denial about the fact that POTUS Obama is serving his last term in office and they didn’t want him in there for 2 terms because – wait for it –
HE’S BLACK
What?
HE’S BLACK
That’s not the reason!
YES, SALLY – IT IS “THE REASON”
PRESIDENT OBAMA IS BLACK
And conservatives, Fox Faux News talk show hosts and people like Glenn Beck who is the grand Poo Pah of the Ding Dong Brigade Tea Party KKKOOKS
Are spitting mad because a black dude is living in the white house driving up the costs for the dry cleaning bill of his two dress suits that he says he owns. The supreme court decides on the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT but the GOP still wants to repeal it. IT IS A LAW – THEY CANNOT REPEAL IT. Then again most of the GOP State Governors are not instating a health exchange in their state so what would people do then if they wanted health insurance? Easy – they go on the medicaid FREE PLAN – thanks Gov Christie for not instating that medical exchange because you are waiting to see how much money it will cost – of all the people who are going to need medical care – it’s Chris Christie – this is the man who will never turn away any plate of food…ever!
While it’s problematic for the GOP who hate Obama and “the liberal base that voted for him” it’s not a problem for the rest of America and the reason that is true is because America has their own individual set of worries in the form of NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO WORK. Then there are people who own stuff that they can’t fix because they are working but they are not making any money but they spend money for transportation and meals.
By the way, the liberal base that voted for Obama does not exist however the people who voted for Obama over THE DARK OVERLORD ROMNEY are working class stiffs, people on disability, people on Social Security, the elderly, the baby boomers and people with a brain. Most of the Middle Class have died or are in the process of doing so – please Republicans get your stories straight you are getting so ridiculous!
Just think – If Romney had become POTUS people would be working in sweat shops 12 hours a day for little pay and then sleeping in makeshift homes with bunk beds like they do in China or (gasp!) the movie RESIDENT EVIL where the corporation ruled everything and everyone. Yep, LORD POOP PAH MITT ROMNEY would be busy buying companies, destroying them for money and then raking in the debris while the company floundered and died, fired all their employees and went totally under.
THIS IS NOT THE AMERICA I GREW UP IN AND NOT THE AMERICA I WANT THE FUTURE CITIZENS OF OUR WORLD TO LIVE IN.
I have come to the conclusion that the Conservative Right and the Tea Party GOP Republican lame brains need to go!
