Yesterday, definitely felt like spring almost summer like and weather foks suggest we might have a high of 65 today maybe 70 by the weekend —- ahhhh Spring. I wish we could have it all minus the pollen but then there are worse things to experience right?
my rant
With election season right around the corner and the constant changes in campaign promises, nasty vitriol, lack of integrity going on … We the People, need to be even more aware more diligent in making sure our neighbors know the truth about health care reform, climate change, immigration reform, and what positive things it will do for ALL Americans. I have to say though it seems obvious to me some do not believe we cannot count on Republicans to help get back on track. It is clear Republicans have a different agenda, a different America in mind. It includes making the rich far more in control of things though considering our near economic collapse even people without a lot of finance background understand that trickledown theory really does not work though they keep pushing, holding the middle/lower classes hostage to get what they want. The fact is any lack of progress to any part of our economy is due to the Republican Party
If anyone is watching listening and judging from not only the behavior this first term of President Obama but also from the current rhetoric coming from the Republican Party, it is quite clear who put Party before People for the last three years. I remember when John McCain, who called himself a maverick throughout the 2008 campaign. He told Americans he would listen to the military about DADT etc. and then make a full 360 stating he would no longer cooperate with Democrats or the Obama admin. The Republican Party definitely managed to fool the public and side step their responsibility to We the People who pay their salaries. I have to say the Republicans in Congress keep moving further right of center, which should be unacceptable to All Americans –This nation is not extreme.
I know there must be plenty of moments when Republicans in the 112th Congress showed their true partisan side, colours, and nasty attitudes. I will never forget the night Joe Wilson decided he did not have to respect the place he was sitting, the moment, or the President was the beginning of the nasty behavior. In a time when at least 53% who voted for the first person of colour for President were not just proud but felt he would rise to the occasion and tackle the monumental challenges facing America that others running for President clearly did not seem to accept or understand.
A Political Party that is choosing Party over the fate of Americans is truly unacceptable and all those involved called out and kept out of the 2010/2012 elections. Republicans had over 8years to do something, anything about health care, climate change, bank regulation, immigration; to be honest i cannot remember if the house of Bush even managed to allow any debates on those issues. I remember a Bush doctrine that created 2Wars, tax cuts for the rich, a lot of involvement concerning stem cell research, abortion, killed a global warming treaty, appointed Justices Alito and Roberts, which may have a direct impact on elections coming up. Most of what Bush did do he got away with not paying for and now Americans suffer from his lack of restraint, forethought, and experts who obviously did not choose to look out for Americans.
Now, 3 yrs. later and a President who I feel is trying to get our country back on track the BS just continues though Republicans are not in charge they refuse to let the governing party do just that … govern. Voice your distaste in the Republican Party by joining me in voting them out in 2012.
