Today I read an article that; once again; made me feel nauseous with anger directed at the GOP. Here’s an excerpt:
House Republican Whip Eric Cantor declared in a memo that if the Senate goes ahead with plans to use a controversial legislative tactic known as reconciliation to pass the bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “will not be able to muster the votes” to pass it in the House.
Speaking ahead of Obama’s upcoming televised health summit, House Minority Leader John Boehner also told fellow Republicans in a closed-door event Tuesday: “We need to show up and crash the party,” an aide told Reuters.
I’m a disgusted former life-long Republican, and I can say unequivocally that the Republican party is nothing but a terrorist sleeper cell lurking in our democracy. They contribute absolutely nothing but campaign funds and severely obstruct our legislative process.
Since they do nothing, and say nothing to contribute to meaningful health care reform, who are they working for? They seem to be masterful at working against.
Until the Republican Party fully realizes that all of our citizens need health care, they should simply offer productive solutions, not destructive interference. Most importantly, they need to let the process move forward.
Dear #TCOT Republicans. Help our people; don’t hurt them any more than you already have.
