Tired of Republicans


I really am.  
  •  they do everything to discourage people from signing up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act, then complain it doesn’t work.
  •  they cut food stamps for the poorest Americans and then blame them for not working harder.
  •  they hold hearings in the House Judiciary Committee about impeaching the President .
  •  they criticize the attempts to diffuse the Iranian nuclear program, but offer no alternative except war.
  • they complain about the Democrats voting to govern by majority rule in the Senate, after they held up votes for years on the President’s nominees.
  • they are doing their best to rig elections by voter suppression and gerrymandering.
I could go on, but it is late and I’m going to bed.  I really think that a major party in a major democracy has been hijacked by unpatriotic fanatics.  Whether we can survive this onslaught of stupidity and silliness is open to question.  I hope so, but I am beginning to have doubts.

If, by a remote chance, you are a Republican reading this, my question is, why are you still a Republican?  If it is so distasteful for you to switch your registration to Democrat, become an independent or a Libertarian or a Green.  Do you really want to be in a party that thinks climate change is a hoax, that thinks gay marriage is a sin, that is willing to deny food to children, and that believes our system of health care than denies coverage to millions is just fine?  It’s time to reregister.  I am quite serious.

  1. The republican party is being held by a bunch of old white men who don't want to see a black man suceed as President. They have to keep the black man in his place. Why else would they have a meeting on January 20, 2008 deciding not to give any co-operation to Obama's administration. Of course they would deny it.

    After all he is a socialist, that is why he took a heritage fondation (right wing organization) idea and now we have the Affordable Care Act, still run by insurance companies but with limitations. republicans don't like any limitations, unless it's limiting anything for the middle class and those less fortunate. I too could go on----
