I'm done with the Republican Party...(you should be, too)

So all 176 republicans in the House are patting themselves on the back because they stood up to Democrats and excessive government waste.  I feel so much better now.  It reminds me of the good old days of the original TARP legislation when all the republicans stood up and voted against that piece of legislation.  Wait a minute, that was a dream I had, because 91 republicans voted for the original legislation in October.  Did you know in October the original TARP bill would have been defeated if all 91+108 republicans had voted against it?  In fact they defeated the first version of it.  But they gladly switched their votes when $50 billion in additional pork spending was added to it.  So let’s all pat the 176 house republicans on the back for standing up for their principles and voting against this new round of useless government spending.  Funny that they weren’t so principled back in October.

To be fair some of those 91 original republicans are out of a job now, but not all.  What a crock of crap, they should not be getting kudos for adhering to republican values for once.  I don’t know why they didn’t start acting like republicans 5 years ago.  I am done with them.  I will no longer lend any support to or vote for another republican until they can get their act together.  What a bunch of sniveling cowards they are.  Cowering in the corner like a whipped dog underneath the watchful eye of the all powerful benevolent leader Obama.  This was a pointless stand that they took.  Rush Limbaugh is correct in saying the republican leadership is impotent.  They can start to prove to me that they are capable of acting like republicans if they put aside this silly feel good word bipartisanship.  Bipartisanship is acting like a liberal- voting for liberal causes and moving our country in a socialist direction.  The whole republican party is a joke.  Until they start voting against everything the democrats bring forward as a group showing solidarity and unity they are dead to me.

So, where is my support going?  Why to the Libertarian Party of course.  I can get over the whole legalization of drugs thing, especially given the option of the republican party.  Other than the drug thing, everything the Libertarians support of think I agree with whole heartedly.  It is time for everyone who is just as disgusted with the way things are going is to get behind and support a true opposition party.  I will give money to and campaign for and lend just as much time and support to the Libertarian party.

 ‘Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"’

Conservatives have been exiled from the republican party.  We need a new home.  Let conservatives everywhere migrate to the Libertarian Party. 

 

Peace- I’m out.
