Retreat...Again


It is a little but funny hearing an internet commercial for John Cornyn talking about pushing back against President Obama, all the while I a have just read an article where he and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell seemed to be following Speaker Boehner's lead in capitulation to the administration.

The politics of this are just sad and they don't disarm the conservative wing - they just inflame them.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the GOP is the party of big business and has next to no interest in representing small business, individuals interested in liberty, and pay lip service to the issues of life.

The "leadership" of the Republican Party has devolved into management and runs things via fear.  They try to whip their respective membership into votes that are bad - remember Medicare, Part D - and run in fear rather than on hope.

With the recent capitulation where the GOP has chosen to pass a clean debt increase, the Congress of these United States has basically said, spend whatever you like and we will approve it.  My Visa card limit doesn't go up when I have trouble making payments, which is what was forecast when the credit ratings agencies lowered our AAA credit rating.

While things may be all fun and games between President Obama and Senator McConnell, I hope the voters of Kentucky realize what he is doing and kick him out once the primary occurs.
