The Tea Party feels that they have been unfairly singled out by the IRS. Republicans are up in arms over the Benghazi affair. There have been other accusations, real and imaginary, laid at the steps of the White House. Conservatives are reveling and demanding firings and jailings. Anything and everything is being used, in an effort to discredit President Barack Obama. Hatred for President Obama overshadows Congress, and the obstructionists are at work.
Every administration has had its’ failings and scandals. Remember Watergate, Oliver North, Irangate, Monica Lewinsky, imaginary WMD, etc. etc. etc. Republicans are attempting to discredit President Obama in any way possible and also damage the hopes of the Democratic nominee, the next time around. While we are seeing gutter politics at its’ worse, all voters should keep in mind, certain obvious flaws in the Republican modus-operandi. They are anti-middle class, anti-poor, anti-minority, anti-immigrant and anti almost everything else.(Excluding the wealthy, of course) They are pro-war, pro-military industrial complex, pro-lobbyists. They are capable of many things. It should be pointed out that the GOP has been heavily influenced by the cult-like Tea Party. They want to attack and diminish Social Security benefits of 62,465,000 people, VA compensation for close to three and a half million veterans, and also the VA and military pensions. It is time for practical reasoning. The numbers add up. The Greedy Old Party has lost its’ soul. It is dedicated to the few, at the expense of the many.
