What happened to the Republican Party?
No to bank and Wall Street Reform.
No to consumer protections.
No to a Jobs Bill.
No to investing in infrastructure.
No to helping our kids get an affordable college education.
No to universal health care.
No to equal pay for our women for equal work.
No to feeding our hungry.
No to saving our environment.
No to Immigration Reform.
The “House of No” obstructs anything that might serve the interests of the people who fought and daily strive to make this country stand for something better.
What is House Speaker Boehner thinking? He’s losing what little integrity he might have had by moving further to the Extreme Right with the Tea Party bullies who now control Republicans; the Party of the 1 percent!
Boehner lacks the “courage” to lead the House on any issue that might serve middle and working class Americans.
He is about “Politics,” doing whatever the billionaire Koch brothers and “trickster” Karl Rove command, obstruct everything Obama and the Senate agrees on, file a law-suite against the president for doing what he can do to remedy the problems the House won’t address.
What happened to the Republican Party? It used to be about American values, fair play, Christians caring about their countryman.
Boehner and his gang are about none of these. The rich who pull their strings hope Americans will swallow their media talking points hook, line and sinker: “Impeach the President!” He’s too presidential! No!
They need to go!
They sold out “Republicans” and all America.
