Well…I think things are starting to turn in the election and I do believe that it comes down to the competing visions that the two parties have for the country…the dems have a vision of possibilities and a greater future with fighting for the middle class while the repubs have a vision of a diminished America of going backwards on the rights of citizens and giving more and more away to corporations and the rich. The American people are starting to see the repubs for who they are and they don’t like it…they don’t like ole Mitt trampling on the memories of the 4 Americans killed in Libya and they don’t like that he appears more and more like he is in no way near ready to be president….and the media is starting to call them on their vagueness and lies…I am really starting to have hope that the repubs are being seen for what they are…they are not like the rest of us to be sure…

The new do-nothing republicans…
Well….it has been an interesting time since the repubs took control of the House in 2010 and this congress is shaping up to be one of the most do-nothing congresses in the history of the country. Where are the jobs bills that will help put people back to work? Where are the infrastructure projects that will start to repair our crumbling country? Where are the forward thinking ideas that will help us compete in the future economy? The answer is nowhere…since it would go against the repubs stated goal of tearing down the government that is so “intrusive”…do they really believe that the private sector will take up the slack and build and repair the bridges, roads, and rural high speed internet that the country needs to prosper? This is the first time in my long life that I see this country going backward led by a party that, when you really take a long look, wants the country to fail for purely political gain and can’t see past party to do what’s right for all of us, not just their large donors. Maybe it’s a good thing that the House is not doing anything since the ideas they bring to the table are so far out of the mainstream that they would be laughable if the press would just say so….let’s remember that the repubs are the party of can’t do, who would like nothing better than to use policy to cement our status as an also-ran country while they profess to protect traditional values…the traditional values of the US are innovation, leadership, and inclusiveness…just the opposite of what the modern repub party stands for…geez….
