Can we all agree that both parties are (or recently have been) too concerned with politics, party lines, and reelection than serving the American people? I consider myself more of a conservative but honestly at this point I'm sick of all the hotheads in DC. Since when has politics been about shouting insults and trying to earn personal glory? And how come Congress shut down at 10:30 last night to get rest? Last time I checked, when a deadline as big as defaulting a nation comes around, it's time to down caffeine pills, suck up your pride, and work together to get the country through the immediate future. In this instance, the Dems have shot down numerous plans of the GOP, and although Boehner's plan didn't have everything the Dems wanted, it was so non-conservative that his own backers sent out word to vote against it. If Congress can't get their act together, they'll deal a heavy blow to the people they've been elected to serve.
I understand where you're coming from - but I can't blame Congress in the least. They have now passed two different bills (the Ryan Plan and the Cut, Cap, and Balance plan) and the Fascist Harry Reid won't even allow the Dumbocrat controlled Senate to vote on it. What does Harry fear? That those plans were so good and fair that even his own party will pass it?
Furthermore, how do you work together with a party that has been hijacked by Socialists, Marxists, and Communists? I recently posted great audio from the Democrats golden boy - John F. Kennedy himself talking about how the only way to recover from a bad economy and increase revenue to the federal government is to lower taxes. That was the actual Democrat Party. Today, he would be labeled a "right-wing nut" by the Socialists, Marxists, and Communists that have hijacked that party. Both my family and my wife's family were life long, die-hard Democrats (I was always a conservative). Today, both of our families have registered Republican. God's honest truth. The party is just radical left-wing fasicsts now. How does one "work together" with that?
I'm sorry, IMHO, I don't want my party compromising with radicals. Compromising with radicals is how Adolf Hitler came to power. Barack Hussein recklessly spent this nation into $5 trillion in debt and now we're on the verge of collapse because of it. I say good. This will be a great lesson for future generations. When you vote in today's radical Dumbocrats, you will end up with collapse.
