Republicans are riping themselves apart vying for the "Bash Obama" award, and like the 2012 campaign, achieve nothing but dig their grave deeper and destroy their own party.
So, whose complaining?
I'm just enjoying the show. Sometime in 2009, the right wing began the contest of "Who can hate the government more". It started humble enough, with local Tea Party rallies. They didnt want Obamacare. They didnt like wasteful government spending. You know....excessive stuff, not the fundamental stuff. But then the 2010 elections got closer. And they started getting a bit more fanatical.
They started looking beyond just the really excessive stuff. They started trying to out-do each other. "I hate 20% of govt spending!". "Oh yeah, well I hate 30%". "Oh, you two are commies, I'd slash 50%".
Fill in some actual topics, and that was the attitude. In the quest to out-hate each other regarding government, they began turning on traditional right wing strongholds: law enforcement, middle class teachers, firefighters. All together, those groups total around 4,000,000 people. Count in their families, and you basically pissed off around 10,000,000 voters, all of whom were normally reliable conservatives.
Now, the right wing is drifting even further. They are starting to whisper the unthinkable: Turning on the military. Yes. Slowly but surely, the whispers of military waste are starting to come out in the right wing.....just like the whispers of "Why are we paying our cops so much?" began to trickle out in 2010. Obama has forced this hand on them, by making them choose between raising taxes or cutting military spending. And the right wing is starting to justify the idea of slashing military funds. They'll start seeking examples to justify it.
And as they did in 2010, the quest to out-slash each other will be too much, and within 4 years, they'll be fully engaged in a turn on the military.
Dont think it wont happen. It will.
CPAC, the gathering of losers and people kicked to the curb because they are insane. Welcome to the GOP!

I'm with KK on this. I haven't seen any legislation to support any of your claims.
The most interesting thing in American politics is the emergence of the libertarian wing of the Republican Party. Knowing that third party runs are exercises in futility, Ron Paul wisely made inroads into the republican establishment. Now others are following suit.
Since there is no significant difference between neocons and democrats on any issue of substance, democrats are promoting the meme of the Republican Party tearing itself apart.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The Republican Party is reforming itself into standing for fiscal sanity, peaceful foreign policy and personal liberty.
The democrats and neocons are frightened of the change and are reacting in a predictable manner.
Pay no attention to them. They mean less and less each day.

Yeah, that's what the Republicans said when GW Bush was running for president. Fiscal "Compassionate" Conservatism, a "humble" foreign policy, and personal liberty. Then they delivered 2 wars off the books which wiped out the fiscal sanity and humble foreign policy planks. Then they gave us the TSA, DHS, and Patriot act which wiped out the personal liberty plank. Forgive me for taking anything the Republicans promote with a grain of salt.

Trying to poison the well, eh?
I'm retired military, and proposing defense spending cuts are not the same as "show me the birth certificate!" That's who is being featured at CPAC, by the way. A billionaire birther. But they threw a common sensical governor from New Jersey under the bus.
It is a simple fact we are spending more on defense than at any time since WWII, in real dollars. We had much, much greater existential threats to our country during the Cold War than we do now, and spent far, far less on defense during the entire period.
So this current level of defense spending is quite simply insane.
I'll tell you what turning against our military actually looks like. Just look at the topics on this forum about the US Army coming to get you soon and put you in a FEMA camp, all built on a bogus premise the government had just bought 1.6 billion hollow point bullets. Those are the right wing lunatics that would be welcome at today's CPAC. People who believe our fighting men are about to turn on us and slaughter us.
Look, we have a $16 trillion (and climbing) shit sandwich, and everyone has to take a bite. Everyone is wanting to avoid eating their share. I'm sorry, but Defense's share is quite substantial.
