What you have to remember about Republic...Chuckle:<br /><br />What you have to remember about Republicans is that it is all style and no substance.<br /><br />They stylize themselves as the adults in the room - because they say so.<br /><br />Fiscal responsibility for government means making sure every single person who wants to work an honest job and make a decent wage/salary can have a job.<br /><br />Republicans and Conservatives in general have no interest in republican democracy. They are holdovers from the time of feudalism who believe that the wealthy are divinely blessed because they're wealthy, and should therefore have the power and the poors (read everyone besides them) should just shut the fuck up and stop being dirty poors.<br /><br />What a lot of Republicans see now is that their stylized self-identity is being rubbed away by the poors they've been using for votes and enthusiasm for the last 60+ years. <br /><br />They know that everyone else knows what they really are, and they really, really don't like that.<br /><br />Style over substance, all day, every day. Repeal Obamacare 40+ times, for show. Run and say the pledge of allegiance for the cameras. Pass a specific law keeping a brain-dead woman on life support and claim that it is for her dignity to stay brain dead and attached to a feeding tube over the wishes of her husband.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Cinesiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14996950964848333121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-48469339965882820072013-10-24T18:12:27.309-05:002013-10-24T18:12:27.309-05:00First, this is an amazing piece of writing that is...First, this is an amazing piece of writing that is one that will be timeless and dead on for as long as time persists.<br /><br />I couldn't help but notice this article, which was linked by a comment-er on another blog. This is a long time republican who has had enough of the party. There is a line in the article...."we were once considered the adults in the room"...that made me spit my amp all over my keyboard. Amazing, no it wasn't the corrupt years of the Reagan/Bush era, no it wasn't 8 years of Bush/Cheney/Rove: terrorist attacks, Iraq war debacle, Medicare part D, lost emails, Jeff Gannon, OUTING A CIA SPY, crashing the world economy...etc. No, it's Ted Cruz and the Tea Party that put this republican over the edge. I guess I should give him some credit.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/23/opinion/the-cry-of-the-true-republican.html?_r=1&<br /><br />Chucklenutsnoreply@blogger.com
