Here we go again. Two parties hold the future of millions in their hands, and their answer is to sit in the sandbox and toss out the tools that both could use to build a decent sand castle. Republicans are positioning themselves as the party of "No," as they have for the last three years. It is a defense mechanism to create a polarization of ideology that plays to the Lamestream media outlets. The object is to seem like the Republican Party is the messiah that will deliver our teetering nation from the brink of horrible decisions made by a Democrat-led Congress for less than two years, and a Democrat president that is believed to be a far-left villain leading the nation to a socialist wasteland.
It is rarely mentioned that it was the Republican-led government that planted many of the seeds that have led to this Garden of Woe.
The Republican Party wishes to reverse the many poor decisions made in the first three years of the Obama Presidency, at least on the most superficial of levels. The true desire is to completely sink any and all Democrat candidates for the upcoming elections, especially the position of the President. That should be obvious to any discerning individual, regardless of their political affiliations. While this war of words and recalcitrant actions are taking place in the seat of our federal government, the rest of the nation is riven by a lack of decisive movement needed to address a calamity that is not only engulfing our nation, but also influencing decisions made in international markets, almost immediately reflected in those greens and reds that everyone awakens to displaying a complete failure of both parties to put aside politics and address a situation that affects people in New York City, Saginaw Michigan, and Paint Creek Texas (hail, Rick Perry).
With another fourteen months left until the Big Election, does anyone truly believe that such a strategy can deliver either party a victory worth achieving? Assuming that Obama continues to pander to this divide and develop his "tough talk" trend taking place now, that will only serve to further polarize a nation already arguing over which idiot candidate will steal votes from the leading two candidates of the Republican Party, while also energizing a protectionism in Democrat-centered voters that is completely unnecessary and rather harmful to solving this issue. Assuming that the Republican Party continues the dual-pronged attack of sitting on their hands and running the nation further into the ground (only to potentially inherit an even worse situation), and pitting their most-electable candidate against others that may grab the zeitgeist of a small percentage, the result is detrimental to the Nation as a whole.
Be you Republican or Democrat, someone that makes more than $200,000 a year or someone working two jobs to cover food and gas, it should be apparent that allowing another year of this crap to go on will only result in a greater catastrophe than has beset this nation in its entire history.
While the leaders of the United States may excoriate European leadership for their inability to solve their own issues, perhaps such people should take this opportunity to re-assert the waning international leadership that the United States once held. The United States has the opportunity to put divisive politics behind, come together for the good of all of its citizens, and in doing so provide an example for the nations of Europe to do the same.
Or our vaunted political minds can haggle, position for another election, provide soundbites for the networks, and bar their doors for the coming storm of people left without any choices but survival by any means necessary. Republican, Democrat, or Human?
