just another rant …

  This week is big … debates & votes on payroll tax cuts – unemployment – jobs act – education – medicare – If you belong to believe in the notion that the Middle and Lower Class have rights … It is time to #OccupyCongress

We all know that progress of our Nation is slowing down even more given Congress is unable to work in a bipartisan way. Teapublicans, though in the minority have managed to do their best to stop most efforts to create or pass laws that will help ALL Americans and while the vote to support jobs for Vets was, sort of a No Brainer the vote count was not so much. If you are like me for the last two years of the Obama Admin, you probably flinched every time a Teapublican spoke now days i no longer cringe, or say I told you so. Why? Because we must, all go into Survival mode decide flight or fight to keep the Middle and Lower Class in play. It’s on!  It is important that we remind ourselves why and what some of our Republican members of Congress said about the November Midterm elections and not let this happen again. Yes, we are all suffering on some level because folks decided to sit out, vote right of center … whatever. Yep, I was worried then, many people were, and now we are all living with a daily barrage of crap on any given platform confirming the worry with good reason. The week before the midterms, I stated … What worries me, is the possibility that people who have no experience, no common sense, or clarity may get on the floor of Congress and ruin our Democracy. The fact is this group of Republicans is not our parent’s right of center Political counterparts. The Party of No have not only proved themselves to be more concerned about those top 2% by repeatedly holding legislation hostage in the name of those job creators and financial backers even before the midterms elections. It is more than obvious they do not care about reducing the deficit, climate change, Jobs, fair share or the middle or lower classes whatsoever  and race religion and guns keep cropping up.

Teapublicans like Norquist continue to state that giving them control of the House of Representative is what Americans wanted but they have failed to listen or accept the buyer’s remorse screamed at them at town halls, meet-ups, and or calls from their own constituents. While voters on both sides of the aisle want Congress to put people back to work not to touch Medicare, Planned Parenthood, NPR, or anything else related to a social program that is best run by the Government; like that new earthquake monitor Georgia will be getting , a definite move into the 21^st Century contrary to Gov. Jindal’s attitude.

Teapublicans still chant, “Take back their country”, on all levels of government. In October 2010 I said, I guess you can plug in whatever that means for you though it sounded like an awful way to live if you are a minority on any level. Now, it is obvious that it means a vote against all of your best interests. If you live on the Gulf Coast or a State with a Republican Mayor or Governor, it is likely you have been asking yourself not only why you were so easily conned but what have Teapublicans really done for you lately.  One can only wish this were happening. If you have family, friends and or co-workers who are Teachers, Cops, Mets, Firefighters or any type of Rescue worker you probably are feeling as if your vote to take back your country was one of the last nails that will or could ruin this country as you know it. Yes, that is my opinion but come on, if you have been paying attention or living under a rock, Republican members of Congress, and some blue dogs worked and have voted against their fellow Americans since President Obama Admin took office. The main mission as stated by the likes of  McConnell and  Bachmann is making President Obama a one term President by voting against all of his policies which will invariably take us all down.

The midterm elections have  negatively affected children, friends, families … All of our lives, and if we give Teapublicans our country, they will ruin our futures.
