Arkansas Ping!
After watching Ar politics for 25 years, it is obvious to a true Reagan Republican that most of the elected Ar Republicans are citizens who wanted to be in politics but couldn’t break into the Democratic political hierarchy. Look at their voting records, watch what they do, pay no attention to what they say they will do. You must look at the fruit on their tree. We are a state of largely conservative Americans who are handing over the reins to untrustworthy people in elected positions in both parties.
Our Republican representatives were very quick to use the Compromise “for the good of the Nation” excuse. Remember, the first definition in Webster’s for Compromise is “to give in on one’s principles”. Someone please help me explain to the “children”(it was for them you know) how giving in on one’s principles is a good thing. A compromise is whether we will buy 10 or 6 of an item and compromise on 8. It is not when one party wants an unlimited credit card and you say you want to cut up the credit card and pay off the debt and then vote instead to raise the credit card limit and continue to spend without end. These representatives showed us who they truly are and they must go.
Explain how the vote for the debt compromise was good when every family in America in this same situation cuts up THEIR credit cards, tightens THEIR belt to make ends meet, and PAYS OFF THEIR DEBTS! Notwithstanding the radioactive fallout from their actions.
These officials knew the answer and had not the intestinal fortitude to do the right thing on behalf of the citizenry nor to their oath of office to “Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL ENEMIES, Foreign and Domestic.” The enemy in this instance was looking back at them in the mirror.
Also, to all of my fellow conservatives out there, don’t fall for the moderate trap. After all, a moderate is simply a Liberal that is lying. Moderates have principles based upon the expediency of the moment and will never act conservatively when another option is available. Again look at last week, we had Cut, Cap, and Balance on the table. We could have stood strong on principle. The reason we did not stand firm was because CC&B was not based on these members principles, they voted their true principles on Monday and Tuesday.
