Mmm, tastes like politicsChange Washington? Good luck, Mr. President. The past couple of weeks have shown me nothing but politics as usual.
It looks like DC is finally getting a vote. Why was this even an issue? The Right can take their phony outrage over the constitutional technicalities of this issue and shove it. No taxation without representation? Ever study history? No? Well, then at least brush up on your American history, please. But get this, this is now only going through because as a deal, Utah gets an extra vote to balance out the left leaning tendencies of the denizens of DC. Are you kidding me? Politics make our system more of a democrazy than a democracy. Party first, country second.
Stimulus bill passed strictly on party lines. 3 Republicans crossed over in the senate and several Democrats voted against it in the house. I have mixed feelings about whether this will work to fix the economy or not, but I have no doubt that politics is being played here. I love these hypocritical Republicans who will vote on principle against the stimulus but then turn around and accept the money for their state. They make it so easy for me to criticize them. I don't even need to be standing from any moral high ground to point out the blatant idiocy here. Party first, values second.
How about the fact that the same Republicans who are criticizing the spending proposed are the same hypocrites who oversaw the largest deficit increase in history? Have these people no shame? I guess not when it comes to party loyalties. These traitors need to be reminded that they work not for their party, but for the country, its people, its values, its ideas, and its future.
