    I am not going to spend time naming the many orchestrated obstructionists acts Republicans have been involved in doing. It is obvious when you read newspapers or listen to the radio and televison news what this body of NO is doing and it is not pretty.

    What it is clear is that the Republican Party could care less about what is good for the country, and the American people. All one has to do is look at their record and the way they have been acting since President Obama won the presidency. They simply cannot stand being out of power and they would do and say anything to get that “power” back. Even if they have to engage in act of obstruction.

    From the inception of President Obama Republicans have engaged in a well-organized plan to defeat the President and his administration at all cause.

    Republicans in Congress by most part are nothing but a vicious pack of traitors and obstructionists and some are even blatant racists.

    This pack of power hungry Republicans show up on  radio and television shows to discredit the President in just about anything he has accomplished. What is more disturbing is that they set aside the fact that they are responsible for the sorry state they left the country after eight years of the disastrous Bush/Republican nightmare administration... but not surpirsing. After all Americans have short memories.

    What is not astonishing is that a large number of irresponsible shameless Republicans show their faces at their districts and praise the stimulus and take credit for jobs created due to Obama’s stimulus plan in their districts, but once they leave their States they return to Washington to continue in the quest of obstruction and treacheries, and criticizing the very same stimulus plan they were praising in their own districts.

    President Obama has tried very hard to bring Republicans to the table, but they are not interested; they have a plan and that is to obstruct anything Obama or the Democrats want. It is beyond me why the American people put up with these obvious acts of obstruction, betrayal and disloyalty. I thought that politicians were supposed to work for the good of the country and the people and not for their own selfish-interest.

    How soon some forget that President Obama took over a big horrible mess left behind by Republicans and the Bush administration, it is a miracle Obama was able to stop a complete collapse of the economy, but he doesn’t get any credit for saving the country from a complete melt down. At the contrary some Republicans want to put the blame of him for their mess up, including the loss of jobs. I remember that during the Bush administration millions of jobs were outsourced and what did your esteem Republican representative do? Not a freaking thing to stop the "run away train" with American jobs to foreign countries.

    Republicans always boasted about being the party that kept America safe. Oh, really? Are they forgetting that they were in power when the terrorists attacked the twin towers in New York, and they could have prevented it? Despite the fact they had noticed they did nothing? How about the fact Bush and his cronies got the US in to two unnecessary wars that also contributed to the almost complete collapse of the US economy. Not to mention the many Americans killed and maimed by that awful decision to attack a country that had done nothing to America. Who is their right mind is going to give this pack of Republican losers another opportunity? Next time they will destroy the country completely. How about a nuclear war with Iran?

    What is more sickening is the willingness of a huge portion of the population to still support these pack of Republican creeps. Surely I am not the only one that is aware that these Republican politicians are nothing but liars and working for healthcare industry, and others  that contribute to their political reelection campaigns, and do not care or listen to what their constituencies are saying… the only thing Republican want is to get back in power and that is frightening!

    They are not credible, but what is obvious is that they are committed to a scheme to defeat Obama no matter if the President policies are good for the people and the country. Republicans in Congress have engaged in treason, betrayal and obstructionism and they should be impeached.

    If Republicans were interested in the welfare of the country why then did they sat idled while Bush and Chaney were destroying the economy, lying about the Iraq war and the list of other blunders under the Bush/Chaney administration for eith years?

    One of the Republican mantra was “Democrats are soft on terrorism”, now that Obama have shown Democrats are not soft on terrorism and in fact are better than Republicans when it comes to keeping America safe, their bull crap mantra has been taken away. I do not hear them using that “sound bite” any longer.

     

    Another untrue is that the American people do not want insurance for all, while ignoring the many national polls that show the opposite. Americans want coverage for all but if you listen to Republicans and their radio and TV “talking heads” mouthpiece/s you would think Americans do not want insurance for all or a public option included in the health care bill. Why do you think that is? Simple, your Republican Congressman/woman is working for the healthcare industry and for the political campaign contributions they get from industries. They want to keep that money rolling in, so they go against the people who trusted them and put them in power in favor of people they were elected to regulate.

    What is clear is that to many Republicans in Congress come off as racists, negative ugly people that are bent on destroying President Obama’s administration. Even if what is being proposed is a good measure that would benefit Americans they voted it down no matter what.

     

    Republicans have hold up so many nominations from going forward it is sickening and disgusting and the American people should stop them from using their position to play their dirty political games. These politicians once in office forget whom they are working for and why they were sent to Congress. Once in office this pack of scoundrels become more interested in “power” and keeping it, and they forget the trust their constituencies put on them… they make me sick.

    Why do Americans have a tendency to have such short memories and soon forgot the horrible condition the country was under during Bush and Republican control? How soon they forget that President Obama took over a broken country and I believe that so far he is doing a fantastic job, and without any Republican help.

    Instead of engaging in obstruction, betrayal and disloyalty, Republicans should unite with Democrats and work to find a way to heal the country and bring the American people together.

    Republicans should stop their obviously vicious well-orchestrated ploy to destroy Obama and the Democrats. Their job is do work for the country and for their constituencies not for themselves and the power they lost and want back so badly that they are willing to engage in obstruction and disloyalty to the country.

    I will leave with a message to President Obama and the Democrats: You are the party in power; go at it without Republican support. Strap on your “cojones” and do what you were elected to do and stop playing the “nice” game. While in power President Bush went at it without Democrat support when he had to and Republicans went right along with it even whenit was detremental to the country. Democrats you have the power, now use it and stop Republicans from obstructing progress. The American people deserve better than a Congress fill with traitors and obstructionists. Next elections vote them out of power.
