ELECTIONS ARE COMING: HOW DEPRESSING JAN POLLER
The United States has so many problems that I find it amazing that President Obama has even the remotest chance of winning. Here is a short list of them in no particular order:
The national debt
Jobs
The blah economy
Iran on the verge of getting nuclear weapons
An increase in anti-American terrorism
The decimation of the U.S. Military
A president who announced that he will rule by decree if congress doesn’t go along with him
Obamacare
More regulation
Failure to exploit American resources
I, as a voter, want to know how the candidates would tackle these problems. I want a complete picture. (Please note that I am not indicating any preference for any candidate except I abhor Rob Paul.)
What is the GOP giving us? They are giving us internecine battles that aren’t even honest.
Consider the attacks on Romney. To a large extent they are an attack on Capitalism, saying that there should be some moral limit on profits. Romney should respond by listing the jobs created and jobs lost while he was at Bain. Instead we get dragged out, non-informative discourse that does absolutely nothing to address the problems of the country.
Where is the GOP attack on the Rule by Executive order plan of the President? Where is the fight against Obama deciding when Congress is and is not in session when it is spelled out in the Constitution? It is non-existent.
The GOP won control of the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections. What has the GOP done with it? The silenced the new members and have yielded to almost all Democrat demands no matter how detrimental to the country.
How do they expect to win the Presidency when they just give us platitudes and President Obama victory after victory?
You don’t have to be a genius or on the inside to see what is happening to the parties or to our country.
It is depressing.
