Strung Out
...it is simply amazing watching the GOP agree to overturn an epic election...before even taking office.
Not one single new GOP'er who won barely a month ago, gets to vote on this mess Boehner and McConnell are agreeing to. Obama's not even president anymore having handed over moral authority to Clinton.
Maybe I misunderstood; did folks vote for MORE spending? Did folks vote for MORE of what Obama wants to do, everything else having already failed and leading to the recent election results?
The GOP just gave away the election. Everyone supporting it is doing the exact same thing Bush did on TARP and the UAW bailout and Obama did on the stimulus and auto take over; "Oh, we HAD to do it."
It was and is never going to be easy getting the size, scope and cost of government back under control. However, that is THE problem, what is needed and this is a huge step, a huge further step in the wrong direction.
And there sits the left screaming bloody murder over...the GOP gutting itself. There sits the GOP establishment...celebrating their idea of victory.
If you can't be bothered to write your congress people about this and cc it to Boehner and McConnell, please don't claim to be a conservative anymore.
Please.
