Bye Bayh

Why do Republicans hate America? They spent eight years under “w” destroying our security, our honor to the Constitution and the economy and now that Obama was elected they decided why not continue by preventing him and the incompetent Democratic Congress from doing anything positive.



They think the public won’t notice that they have obstructed and stymied everything the supermajority attempted to do. The sad thing is they’re probably right. I agree that the Democrats in Congress are pathetic. With a huge supermajority they should be able to ram anything they want through but they are too weak of will to do it. Even though I totally disagreed with what “w” and the repus did in their years at least the Democrats helped them push through all their policies. They were truly bipartisan and if they didn’t go along with “w” the repus and media would claim the Dems were unpatriotic and anti-American. Why don’t they do that to the Republicans today?



Unlike the Dems under “w” the Repus march in lock step to stop anything Obama wants like healthcare reform. Do you honestly think that if the Republicans had a 60 vote majority in the Senate and the big majority in the House that the Democrats would, as a group without dissent, block what they insisted on doing? The facts bear out the truth of the matter.



Republicans have brought this country to a standstill so that no progress can be made to resolve the economic problems we face. They just want political advantage rather than to help the people of this country who are suffering. They are repus first and

Americans second. They rail and vote against deficit spending for stimulus to pull us out of the near depression they caused and then when defeated on the bill they fight tooth and nail for the stimulus money for their state. How hypocritical is that?



Newt and the repus did the same to Clinton in the 90’s by shutting down the government and they are doing it again now. The public wants healthcare reform and a big jobs creation bill but Republicans are preventing it from happening. Millions of people are without any or very little coverage and millions will go bankrupt even with insurance if they encounter a major illness. Do the Republicans care? Of course not. Their only concern is to take away a person’s right to sue for malpractice but their message to those without is tough luck. They only represent the insurance and pharmaceutical companies and the people secure enough to have good jobs with healthcare already. Their message is “Deal with it losers.” That is not what the American public wants regardless what FOX frauds tell you.



The Republicans don’t represent the average person in America. They never have and never will. They represent the powerful corporate and wealthy interests and if they gain a majority, expect the same that we got during “w’s” two terms. They are not populists. They are corporatists just like many of the conservative Democrats like Evan Bayh. I’m glad to see him go. I just wish more conservative Dems would also resign to let real populists take their place. Tea baggers claim to be just that but they are being used as usual by hypocrite Republicans. I am an independent and I wish we had more truly independent politicians that aren’t bought and paid for by lobbyists from corporate America. If something doesn’t change soon we will all be knee-deep in rancid repu tea bags
