GOP does no favors for Americans
How is it possible that an entire party of politicians, Republicans, can vote so consistently, 100 percent, against every bill that tries to improve the lot of the people of their own country? They vote, 100 percent, against health care for the people of the nation. They vote, 100 percent, against bank reform, a bill to try to combat the outrageous gimmicks, cheating, usury and just plain disrespect of the public, supporting instead, as it were, the new mafia in America, the banks.
How can an entire party vote against extending unemployment compensation to out-of-work men and women? Do they hate them? Are our citizens not Americans? Didn't some of them actually vote for the senators and representatives who are now stabbing them in the back?
How can an entire party, Republicans, countenance factions of their own that liken the president to Hitler? Is it possible? They allow it, support it, encourage it?
How can an entire party, Republicans, agree to be led and represented, even championed, by talk show hosts? By candidates who want to do away with Social Security? Who want to end Medicare? Who threaten to secede from the union? Who think George Bush's war was an honorable "mission accomplished" hero, he and his VP, who still maintain the lie of WMD in Iraq, ready to fire on America?
Who are these people? Are they sane? Are they normal? Are they patriotic? Or, as I see it, are they just crybaby sore losers?
