Republicans All About The Scare
The Republicans have always been good at the scare tactics. They worked well throughout the first 4-5 years of the Bush Administration, especially in the election. Whenever John Kerry would start making progress they would lay out an orange alert for another terror attack until they could dig up some false dirt about swift boating on Kerry
Now that they have lost power it seems that is all they are doing. Trying to scare people from buying into Barack Obama's budget and stimulus proposals. Their latest call is that it will spell "doomsday" and we will fall into federal bankruptcy. I see Wallstreet bought into that today as stocks made a good recovery today. What gets me is that for all the bitching and whining the republicans have done since Obama took office has anyone heard one solid solution or suggestion as to what we do to fix anything? I haven't. All I have heard is whine, whine, whine, bitch, bitch, bitch. Not one good idea. That is why they have become the "Party of No". All they can do is say no but they have nothing to replace the idea they are saying no too. Government is supposed to be for the people, by the people, not against everything and for nothing. The latter is exactly what the Republicans represent. They would just assume to stand idly by and do nothing because doing something would involve them actually having to use their brains and that might hurt. Obama and his administration should implement a new rule for the Republicans. Bitch all you want, but everytime you do you have to come to my office with an idea, something tangible that we can work with to replace what you bitch about. The American people voted for something different and though the road thus far hasn't been perfect, its been constructive and full of enthusiasm and I think if you look around, we are starting to see the signs that some of this stimulus and spending is starting to find the light of day. Yes, there has been a lot of money spent, but our previous jackass of a president and his administration dug a pretty deep hole with a bad war that cost this country $10 billion a month and still is and was part of what got us here. So to dig out of the hole we have to spend some money, to fix the education system they broke, to reform healthcare that was promised to us by Bush and never addressed with the exception of some bad medicare bills and to fix our energy issues and make us energy independent. Patience folks, its only been roughly 61 days. Most presidents get 100 before we start pissing in their Cheerios.











Does health care reform really have any chance now after the political defeat in MA?
