I’ve tried to make it a policy to not blog about politics, but every once in a while I can’t help myself.

Clinton gave our country a balanced budget, which the GOP instantly trashed–our first chance to buy down the national debt and he threw it away to give tax cuts to rich white oil executives and launch the most expensive war in history, which also lined more of his GOP cronies’ pockets. Bush should have gone to trial for that. The Republicans had their chance and they made a wreck of this nation economically, and threw away any moral high ground we had by launching us into unjustified pre-emptive war that I’m convinced they knew was based on false evidence. Bush should have gone to trial for that too. Trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost. Personal freedoms have been taken away, and they are still trying to return minorities to the back of the bus and keep women barefoot and pregnant. Education is going down the toilet, and they have declared organized labor, such as teachers, enemies of the people. Dick Cheney shot his hunting partner in the face at close range, inflicting serious and permanent damage, and the shooting victim said he never even apologized, let alone suffered any consequences. That is so typical, because that would mean taking responsibility for their actions.

They have had their chance. The people spoke and LEGALLY elected Obama to get us back on track. The GOP has no new ideas, no solutions, and no agenda, except to obstruct Obama as he tries to heal this nation from all the harm it has suffered under the Republicans. They have done so much dirty dealing, and I can’t believe they have gotten away with it. Dems are too considerate of public welfare, they look for compromise, and they too afraid to look ugly and mean and spiteful, like, well, like the Republicans. What other party would orchestrate the Swiftboating of a wounded Vietnam veteran by a spoiled rich brat president whose Daddy pulled strings to get him out of serving in Vietnam, and then he couldn’t even bother to show up at his cushy, safe National Guard job?

So the Democrats let the Republicans get away with this outrageous and often illegal behavior. It’s disgusting. They don’t care about the American people, unless you count CORPORATIONS as people, which obviously they do. Children go hungry, elderly go homeless, and schools lose funding, so that big business and rich people don’t have to pay taxes. The GOP would rather sink the good ship United States than let Obama guide her to safety.

But I’d better stop here, because I make it a policy never to discuss politics.
