I can remember when Republicans were decent and highly respected citizens and politicians. Things have changed on the political scene but nothing seems to have changed as much as the Republican image and attitude. The minute they had the first town hall meeting and tea partiers showed up being disruptive the GOP should have put their foot down.
But then I guess they had no control over what they did and also I think that they secretly liked it. They were sure it would work in their favor and they could stand back and let the tea partiers do their dirty work for them.
What they didn't realize then was that, much like Dr. Frankenstein, they were creating a monster. And once the monster got loose there would be no controlling it.
I guess one could really blame it all on John McCain. After all, it was he who chose Sarah Palin to be his VP running mate in 2008. As Julia Roberts would say: "Big mistake! HUGE!" We all know he knows it now and in all probability knew it almost as soon as her plane landed in Phoenix or wherever it landed when they first sealed the deal.
I could almost feel sorry for the GOP if it weren't for the way they have treated President Obama and this entire country since the inauguration. Led by Rush Limbaugh of all people, they have endeavored every step of the way to prevent anything Obama wanted to accomplish from being done. They have refused to work with him on a bipartisan basis and have said "no" to everything he has offered.
And not only that...they have continued to insult him by questioning his birthplace, his religion, and even his Patriotism.
For that I can't forgive them.
So let them self destruct and let's get this country back on track without their constant interference! Obama never said "Yes I can". What he said was "Yes we can!"
So let's all be sure to VOTE in November and make sure we maintain control of the Senate and the House!
