What's that music you hear? AHH, it's those Democrats, playing the Republicans. You have to admit, after all the years the Dem's have spent in office, the dinosaurs have learned the art of politics. Although they have an understanding of the Constitution, they successfully bastardize it and make it work for them, even if that means putting the "right" people in the proper courts. Clinton was probably responsible for leading the Dems' into the states to gain control of the election process there, and the federal judgeship's there, and they are successful in almost every state. Sure, there are failures, but over time they bamboozle those Repub' s.
And now the national scene: Debt ceiling, tax increases, national healthcare, immigration, gun control....ahhh listen to the music; play them Repub's as loud as you can, and don't even mention a national budget, heck that would make it impossible for the President to spend what he wants, where he wants; kind of like a socialistic government, but I digress.
The Repub's are just a bunch of lawyers or farmers who get into politics so they can do some insider trading and get wealthy, but those Dem's; they are in it for the long haul; they are professional politicians. Sure, they get rich too; just ask Charlie Rangell, and they even skirt the very laws they make; just ask Tim Geithner about taxes, but that's incidental to their political agenda; it's like why not make some money while you're here, doing the socialist/marxist thing?
The Republicans have almost always played defensive, because they don't know the game, or do not care. They are in the "game" for personal reasons, so national reasons just get honorable mention. It's like this: if I said "nunc et semper tuus" you would have to know some Latin to understand what that means. Those Repub's do not know the language and don't even want to; they are constantly being told what was just said like a man hard of hearing always asking, "whad he say"? The Dem's speak, the Repub's react, not respond (there is a difference).
The Repub's had their Ronald Reagan, but in his second term, he was played by the establishment Repub's who persuaded him to put certain members in his cabinet that did not have the same goals as he did, and soon what he did, was undone by .... you guessed it, those lifer Dem's; for one thing they did not reduce the budget like they promised they would.
When voters gave both houses to the Repub's they didn't know what to do with that. After all, they are not in the game for political reasons, they just wandered about not passing any substantial laws and even dickering over what it was they were doing, BUT they still got their insider trading done, for them. That was the catalyst for the "Tea Party".
Conservatives were and are fed up with the Republican party and want to wrest control from the establishment, but even here, we are having trouble finding someone that does not allow himself to be assimilated into the establishment. Eric Cantor looks a lot like Trent Lott; certainly not the strict conservative he claimed to be. Now he votes, like Corker of Tennessee for the better of the two proposals, rather than to cast a nay vote on anything that doesn't pass the smell test. But then again, if you are not a principled person, you can vacillate any time, any way and claim it is for the good of the nation and the American people.
And those laws; no one even knows what is in them, and no one is given time to read them before voting on them (again Democratic control of the process), so just where are those laws coming from? Who is doing all the writing? These things are not small; the healthcare law is some 2000 pages long. Even after having "Obamcare" implemented for 2 years, we hear, almost daily, of new regulations, taxes and laws built into the healthcare law itself, and not even the Dem's know what is in the legislation. Pelosi said, "we have to pass the legislation so we find out what is in it". Dem's don't care about the specifics; they have socialists writing their proposals, and they know if it comes from "them" it is what we are all about, so vote in the affirmative. Some times they have to approve waivers for their constituents, because the law they just passed affects them negatively. And those Repub's? why, they are constantly standing on stage gazing into the cameras looking like deer caught in the head lights.
The moral? We'll just have to listen to the Dem's play their music until they start to die-off, and they are enjoying themselves too much to just up and leave for no good reason OR we can strike up our own band...if we can find a band leader. Anyone out there interested in the job? Cruz, Rubio, Flake, Schweikert, DeMint.
