I'm over 40. I've seen a lot of years living in America. I've never seen anything like this. 8 years of absolute destruction, culminating in a massive economic disaster.
It's really bad to see America in such bad shape. But that's not the worst of it.
I ALSO have to listen to Republicans prancing around and pitching a fit because they can't DESTROY MORE! The US is teetering on the brink of economic armageddon, and Republicans are worried about scoring political points against organized labor. They still run around screaming about how we shouldn't intervene in the markets while the markets implode from eight years of Republican malfeasance and neglect. They act like there was no election that dumped most of them out on their priviledged behinds.
I was relieved when Obama was elected and we packed Congress with a bunch of new Democrats, but despite my disgust with Republican tactics, we still have days and days to be forced to listen to their clueless whining cries to continue policies that dug this hole in the first place.
And what are Republicans doing now? Perhaps they're out trying to shore up business, feed the rapidly unemployed, and encourage their rich pals to spend money to prop up the economy they destroyed? NO FREAKING WAY. They're running around trying to attack Obama over the Blago senate seat bribery scandal. The truth is Republicans could care less about our country and wouldn't lift a finger to save America from destruction. They only thing they are about is their own political power. They're selfish, clueless, and - frankly - insane.
I hope you can excuse me for this rant, but my screen name says it all - I AM SICK OF IT!!! I want to shut the Republican whine and cry machine off for good. I want to throw them out on their fat, priviliged, corrupt posteriors. I want Republican hate mongering theories of governance to be tossed in the dust bin of history, never to be recovered or considered again.
Our country is BURNING from their destruction, and I've had enough...
And while I fester in anger, more and more of my fellow Americans are losing their jobs and their homes while Republicans can't be bothered with the "little people." Included in this are members of my own family who are hanging on against foreclosure by the skin of their teeth.
January 20th can't come soon enough for me. Lord, will I be bursting with joy when I see the door hit George W. Bush on the *ss.
