I believe it’s time for citizens to defund and fire Republican lawmakers, taking salaries for achieving no results, wasting time and producing no results, performing little value in terms of intelligently crafting or reviewing proposed legislation, in other words, for a failing job performance. Ultimately, the decision belongs to Republican voters, to continue to employ these apparent slackers who show no signs of changing their losing ways or to clean house and restore a two-party system to America.
What do they stand for? With few exceptions, they’ve maintained their rigid marriage to the false morality put forth by extremists and the twisted manipulations of snippets of economic theories to justify policies and behaviors that increasingly simply alienate the American people.
The latest? Defunding Obamacare. While the law has its troubles, the repeal, defund approach has failed, largely because Americans whether they admit it or not, are more afraid of what the Republicans would stick us with. Yet, Republicans belligerently stick with their losing program.
Even the less offensive Republicans who argue not to defund Obamacare are scary, as reported by foxnews.com, on 7/29/13, in an article entitled “Drive to defund Obamacare divides Republicans,” where Fox reports that GOP lawmakers who “…have come out against defunding Obamacare…while claiming that they’d like nothing more than to strip the law of its funding, the party does not have the numbers to deliver.”
In other words, they don’t object to the dirty pool of defunding a law to render it useless, (they would like NOTHING MORE THAN TO DEFUND) instead they can’t win the fight so they’re willing to put it off until they can. Who would vote Republican based on that?
What Republicans are lacking is a work ethic, leaving them spouting garbage that reveals a primitive and punitive understanding of the American economy and the challenges facing Americans. What other big votes have Republicans in the House made lately? Voting against food stamps in July. Voting to bar an IRS role in Obamacare. Voting for the 40th time to repeal Obamacare. At this point, their conduct justifies firing all of them, wasting salaries and our money on this nonsense that not even they believe could possibly become law, zero productivity.
All fiscally responsible individuals need to ask, “Why are we paying their salaries, benefits, and pensions?” Once that question is answered, maybe, we’ll see a new crop of Republicans come forth, representative of opinions that reflect an American standard rather than some extremist view based on ancient history and bias that has marginalized the Republican Party.
