REPUBLICAN PARTY DYING ON THE VINE?

They make a lot of noise and they sound good, but when it comes to the clutch, they are worthless.  After the 2010 elections, when Americans made it clear that they wanted economic changes and that they were upset with the spending ways, we were faced with the challenge of passing a budget with meaningful cuts.  The Republicans “fought tooth and nail” against the spending that Obama wanted and, over a few days, the proposed cuts went from $500 billion to $38 billion and the Republicans caved in at $90 million. 

In August, Congress wrestled with the debt limit.  The Republicans “fought tooth and nail” against raising the ceiling without getting $4 trillion in cuts and they caved in with a “super committee” deal that would not ever succeed and with a $1.2 trillion cut in the budget that still escalated spending by $1 trillion.  Then they had the audacity to run around like chickens with their heads cut off while ballyhooing about how this was “one giant leap for future spending reform.” 

How they have to guts to call the membership of the Republican Party to ask for donations, I will never know. 

Now, they are dead-set to put a closet liberal and politician who is not to be trusted, a guy who invented RomneyCare… on the Republican ticket for President.  Hell, why didn’t they just put up John McCain again?  Maybe we could get Jeb Bush or even Bush 1 might run again.  Where’s Bob Dole hiding? Could we get Jimmy Carter on our ticket? 

The party is becoming irrelevant.  I’ve said it before and will say it again: “Why don’t they just rejoin the Democratic Party and end the charade?” 

If they really and truly cared about the future of America, they would change their ways. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
