Where's the Outrage?
OK Tea Baggers, I hear you loud and clear. You want to have your cake and eat it too. You don't want to pay taxes, you don't want government in your lives, but you blame Obama for your plight and expect him to fix it. You stand up for the little guy and expect Republicans to help you??? Silly hill billie, Democrats are for the regular guy.
Tell me what you think about YOUR taxes being spent on PORK! That really burns you up right? Tell me what you think about Congress not getting things done. Do you want the people to get on their feet? Do you think jobs are mysteriously going to appear if you complain enough? Is there any acknowledgement for the OBSTRUCTIONISM going on in DC at the hands of the precious GOP?
Here's a story not likely to be covered by the CONservative Cable Network or the Mainstream Media. Republican Senator Richard (DICK) Shelby has placed a hold on 70 nominees for the Obama Administration as ransom for over $40 BILLION in pet military PORK projects for his home state of Alabama. This sort of "blanket hold" on nominees is unprecedented and highly unusual. This is a man who constantly mouths off about PORK spending and EARMARKS, yet he is single handedly OBSTRUCTING the Senate's process as a means of extortion for his pet PORK from US THE TAX PAYER! It will require 60 votes for EACH nominee to be released from the hold. This will clog up the Senate floor for more important legislation like a JOBS BILL! Good Job!
Where's the OUTRAGE? You Tea Baggers sure are great at complaining about the Democrats, but this is blatant OBSTRUCTIONISM and it's unnecessarily holding up progress that will help us. You want government out of your life? How about a dysfunctional Congress that refuses to work for WE THE PEOPLE? I understand your ridiculous attitude of wanting to enjoy the benefits of living in this country without the paying your share of taxes and I understand that many of you are unemployed and are socialistically sucking off the taxes I'm paying right now! How else do you make it to so many protests with a full time tax paying job? You only want to complain about one party, yet the GOP is making it quite clear to the American people that they care more about their election games than they do about the people that put them in office. They destroyed our country while allegedly running things for 8 years and now they are trying to do everything in their power to prevent Obama from getting anything done. As Rush Limblaugh said, "I hope he fails". That's real easy for a fat rich man to say, but those of us without the financial means or additional girth to hibernate through this disaster can't afford that attitude. If Obama fails, WE THE PEOPLE FAIL, AMERICA FAILS, but the GOP wins???? What kind of sick logic is that? Keep your "shoot yourself in the foot" protests up and keep wondering WHY? Have two across the nose, tea baggers!
