My head is almost exploding…

Well…I really do have to stop reading so many newspapers every day..the more I read, the crazier the republicans seem…no, not seem…are…first you have the pet attack on women they seem to favor, intrusive ultrasounds…then you have a rep in one of the southern states, who was just on unemployment for a year, vote to cut off the rest of the people in that state that are still on it. Then, you have the repubs in congress who have been wrong about everything for the past 10 years thinking if they let the sequester go into effect, people will blame Obama when all of the polls say that a large majority will blame the repubs….are these guys just too stupid to believe facts or I wonder if it is the fact that they only listen to the propaganda arm of the party for their news? Boy, there are so many to talk about today…how about John McCain berating the parents of one of the victims of the Aurora shooting? When they asked if he would support the assault weapon ban, his response was “I can tell right now you need some straight talk…the assault weapons ban will not pass…” nevermind that these people are still grieving, but who treats their constituents like that? What the hell happened to compassion and niceness? I think the repubs have to turn that in when they get elected…and the country is worse for it…just checked…head still hasn’t exploded…yet…geez….

A couple of things I’ve noticed…

Well…as I’ve watched the shenanigans from the repubs over the past few years, there have been a couple of themes that I’ve noticed that runs through everything they do….it’s either about winning elections or pushing their ideology. For example, when you hear them talk about immigration, they never say that immigration reform would be good for the country or for the people who would be affected…it’s always about reform to get the immigrants to vote for them and that is just sick…I don’t think they understand that these are real people, living real lives here and solving this problem would help the country by bringing them into the light. But, the repubs don’t want that…they want to keep these people illegal so they can continue to exploit them and keep wages down for everyone. The second thing that is so stunning about the repubs is how they push their ideology on the country when people don’t want it….using the old bait and switch that has worked so well in Wisconsin and here in Michigan…pretending to be reasonable people to be elected, and then rolling out their radical agendas afterward….to see this in action, you just need to look at Michigan and the right to work for less law that was never mentioned before the election but then rammed through the legislature in a lame-duck session. Now, you can see this same nonsense across the country with the outright attack on womens rights by mandating invasive ultrasounds before women can make the choice to have an abortion. Why can’t they just do the jobs they were elected to do? Govern for all of the people in your state, not just the hard right nuts…geez….
