IT'S ALIVE!
I am trying to stay away from politics on this blog, because
I feel like I am beating the same horse to death – over and over and over. But, sometimes I just can’t ignore the
blatant facts when they seem to fall into line to form an obvious conclusion.
As far back as I can remember, since Roosevelt ,
the Republican Party has always existed to pass preferential legislation to
benefit the wealthiest individuals and largest corporations. Since the time of Regan the party has
stayed in office by manipulating the fundamentalist Christians and least
informed in our society. They have
exploited racism, religious bigotry, and the red neck mentality to sustain a
reliable voting block that they could count on, without actually having to
represent them when elected to office. Their
cry has always been divisive; they use patriotism, the troops, gays, God, guns
and people not like us as their firebrand catalyst to inflame this constituency
and heard them to the voting booths.
Two years ago Republican think tanks found they could mobilize
this “base” of their party to visibly disrupt Democratic town meetings and
reelection campaigns. Many Republican
Congress persons actually aligned themselves with the movement (Tea-Party) and
encourage near-violent dissent.
The Republican’s aim was never to placate this base, but to
use them to gain seats in the Congress and Senate and eventually take over the
Presidency, in order to pass legislation to further benefit the wealthiest
individuals and largest corporations, and with the aim of creating a Republican
dynasty.
The 2010 election, where Tea-Party members defeated the
Republican National Convention’s choices for election, set the rank and file
Republican hierarchy back on their heals – and they are yet to recover.
The Tea-Party took on a life of its own; financed and
choreographed by wealthy individuals looking for a coup and take over of the
Republican Party.
The Republican Party has always placed partisan politics
above concern for the people’s welfare, and they have governed by cementing a
disciplined caucus. Now, with Tea-Party
Republicans in office they have lost that cohesiveness.
They have definitely created a Political Frankenstein
Monster that they have no idea how to control.
It is a new era for the Republican rank and file; and we have yet to
find out if the inmates will run the asylum.

OB,
ReplyDeleteThe first step is to demand that the money flow be stopped in Congress - No more carpet-bagging lobbyists turning our legislators into whores.
And, the whores become respectible servants of We The People like they should be. Next, we remove the obstructionist from office - those whom are unable or unwilling to cooperate and legislate should not be returned to office.
That is how We The People take back democracy...
NW Maine? Brrrrr. Had a friend spend five years at Loring - He told me it took years for him to feel warm again.
Best,

Sarge, term limits would take care of everything you mentioned - but it ain't gonna happen - because it would have to be passed by the Congress and Senate.
