I agree the Republicans have, at least most of them deviated from the party’s original principles toward government.
One could easily take the Republican out of that statement and replace Democrat and IMHO it would be even more accurate.
I think both parties need a lesson.
I see Pelosi and Co. already reneging on their campaign promises for their first 100 hours. (LOL 2.5 weeks…) Big surprise, but I would be dishonest to say that it’s strictly a democratic trait.
Still, the Democrats give me a much bigger “charge” than the Republicans. They outright don’t practice what they preach, for my primary example they hamstrung the senate on numerous issues for the last three years through partisan tactics. They campaigned on ending the partisan politics but they’ve reneged on that already. Why not? They were the obstructionists in the first place.
I look at the Democrats behaviour and I see their leaderships primary interest is gaining control of the government, even if they have to cripple the country to do so which they effectively did. They wasted years creating stalemates because the agenda being passed wasn’t theirs.
I don’t see humility or cooperation being exercised by Pelosi or Reid but I never expected to, and Teddy Kennedy?
don’t even get me started there.
If you’re for small government and not blinded by hubris and truly would work with anyone whose goal is to strengthen America and enhance the quality of life for it’s citizens then run for office. You got my vote.
