This seems like an absurd complaint to me. By "doing nothing", you seem to mean that they let America continue to live and progress according to it's traditional means. So now Obama is seizing America by the throat and choking the life out of it, so the Republicans should have done it while they had the chance?
The could have cut govt, cut spending, pushed for a simplified tax code..etc. Basically continue where Reagan left off.
“...when they had majorities in Congress, they did nothing.”
I totally agree.
Now, we get to observe how a real political party with a mission handles things.
Conservatives are lame-ass “defenders of the constitution”.
As well, we’ll get to watch them put up a non-defense to 0bama.
They won’t do darn thing, as usual.
The only question is: What the heck are they conserving anymore?
We know they are “above” a proactive defense of our freedom.
That can’t get to 0bama’s rear-end fast enough, it seems.
The smooch heard ‘round the world.
“He’s so popular, we can’t oppose him now.”
“We have to become a kinder, gentler party.”
“We have to hide our white male-ness because diversity trumps principle every time.”
“We have to court illegals cuz they are coming here in such big numbers to pay for the spending orgy happening on the other side of the isle. What right do we have to stop them?”
“They do jobs that Americans ‘won’t do’.”
I could go on all night.
Any REAL conservative couldn’t possibly be happy about what the right has been up to the past eight years.
Besides, I blame the right for this whole mess.
The left isn’t disappointing—they’re acting just like we knew they would.
The real right is missing in action.
