Pardon the political post.
United States of America. My arse. I am terrified about the Health Care Reform billed being passed this past Sunday. I’m not terrified about the unknown long-term impacts or affects, or even the reconciliation package that is outstanding. What I’m most scared about is that NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN voted for it. There are 178 of them, and not a single one voted, "YES"??? That’s effing scary for quite a few reasons.
- Can we honestly believe that every single district they represent didn’t want the bill? Do we really assume that each one was overwhelming enough against it, that not a single representative teetered on voting "yes"?
- If members of the Republican party are all going to vote the same way, can’t we just get rid of them and their salaries and get 1 person to represent the group? Making this a Dems vs Reps opposition is not productive. Get over yourselves and start thinking for
yourselfTHE PEOPLE YOU REPRESENT.
So they aren’t being true to their responsibility to the American people, they are wasting tax-payer money and time, and they are also creating a schism in the way our government works. Our government was not set-up to be 2 entities deciding what is best for our country. THAT’S EFFING WHY WE HAVE SO MANY OF YOU SUITS IN WASHINGTON. If all they do is echo the sentiments of everyone else in their cute little party, then let’s get some consolidating going and get rid of everyone without a brain of their own and save some money and time listening to them ramble on and on.
Even George Washington said, "The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection."
Having agendas based on parties is like having big businesses run the government. I can’t think of any argument in favor of that happening. Each representative loses their individuality and becomes part of the group think machine. They are no longer defending the views and rights of the people who elected them.
And now we’re talking about creating new political parties??? These things are popping up like fraternities.
