The Party of No!
As a country, we have the right to disagree. We can always have an honest debate of the proper ways to govern and the convictions to get the job done. What we are seeing at this time however, has never been seen before. We have 1 party that has decided that above all else, they have to oppose the President and the opposing side. You can try and make the case that it runs both ways but that would be a lie. For all of the ills that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney brought on this great land, including being in office on 9-11 and ignoring the warnings before it happened, going into Iraq for false reasons and trashing the rights of the common man....wiretaps, illegal searches, rendition, torture and many others, the Democratic Party never stood as a single opposition. In fact, when you research the facts, Democrats rarely vote as a unified block. There are times when many will defect and vote with the Republicans on issues. You can also find that The Republicans by far, almost always vote in lock step. The result is irony and hypocrisy at it's best. We have leaders that voted for every tax break, war and expansion of Government, without any questions and now the same folks want to play financial conservative simply because there is a Democrat in the White House. They vote for endless war in amounts over 800 billion dollars and yet cry foul over trying to cover Health care for all at a fraction of the war cost. It's time to pull your heads out of the sand and rear ends of the others in front of you and stand for the people. The corporations already have plenty and so do you. How can you be a part of and participate in Government Health care and yet vote against the public having an option to do the same? If you want to be legitimate, refuse the health care that the taxpayers pay for and pay your own way and while your at it, let's put in term limits so that the job that you have can be as intended, a temporary public service performed on a temporary basis for the good of the Country. It was never intended that Congress should be a lifelong job with great pay and benefits. It was intended to be a service to the Country that anyone could do. It should not be only the wealthy that can run for office. In honor of the Party of No, I have placed some reminders below of the things that they are saying...
No end to any war. Never mind that Iraq never attacked us or that they had no ties to Bin Laden. Pay no attention to the money offered as a sacrifice to the Military Industrial Complex.
No working with Democrats on any issue. If the idea comes from the Dems, it must be wrong.
No hoping that the Country will improve. If Obama fails, then our Party will win.
No refusing the big bucks from the Insurance companies or Drug companies.
No approval of the Presidents Appointed people without a fight over each. We would much rather gripe about the positions not being filled and yell Liberal a bunch.
No guilt over the 40,000+ that die every year for lack of health care.
No belief that the President is a legal citizen.
No helping the common person but corporate welfare is awesome.
No plan on health care but we can hold up blank papers at the Presidents speech and yell..."You Lie" and make fools of ourselves and show disrespect...especially since the President is an African American.
No shame. Vote to impeach Bill Clinton yet when you are caught in affairs and lies about prostitutes, you do not step down.....David Vitter...Mark Sanford...Senator Ensign ...just to name few.
No Knowledge of the fact that Global Warming is real. I wish I could have a debate with anyone that would deny the science of Global Warming. How would the American people view someone that would deny this?
No limit to the hatred that is being directed at Mr. Obama. Skin color bothering you?
No minimum wage increase. Don't you know that those poor people make too much already? Heck, some of them can even afford a junker car.
No, No, NO, No....I'm tired of no. I say no more racist signs, No more guns at political events, No more tea bagging tea party idiots that would have accused me of treason because I did not agree with the war in Iraq or the Bush Doctrine, No more blocking every vote and every idea to better the Country and No more Fox News parrot people, form your own opinion at least one time.
