That is what Team Obama has been doing: installing or at least “testing” loyal stooges and henchmen all through the media, intel services, DOJ, etc. An apt description of the relative disparity of forces between evil and good which will align against one another in the age-old struggle for good against evil, for liberty against tyranny.
Every baby step that Obama takes makes the next larger step so much more obtainable and, to so many more converts, desirable. The crunch might not come in Obama's administration but the course he has sent us upon as a nation leads inevitably to a crackup.
Many an investor has gone broke trying to time the next crash and many an historian has made a fool of himself predicting the next crackup. But the crashes and the crackup's always come and the one looming somewhere in the dark ahead of us will be worse than most of us can imagine.
I am at a loss over the GOP and why they did this...
I feel far worse now than I did when Obama first won. I honestly believe the American voter is fickle and votes on emotion but they do come to their senses and then buyers remorse begins. Even after Obama won reelection I was not as depressed because we had, due to democratic party over-reach, won the House.
I fought hard to give the Republicans a big victory this year. I wrote, spoke, and went on the air where ever I could to pitch the party. One item that always drew favorable remarks was the notion that Congress should NOT pass thousand page + bills that even they would not know the actual outcome of.
Seriously, last night’s vote feels like betrayal more than any other.
I’ve been a proud GOP supporter, up to this point. My so-called TEA party representative, Martha Roby, 2nd CD, Alabama, voted FOR this bill. I’ve made numerous calls to her office and they seemed to understand why so many of us were against the bill, but she voted Aye anyways. I can easily say that bill is something the vast majority of her strongly conservative leaning district’s constituents were against. Still, she vote Aye anyways. It only took her 2 terms to go from 2010 TEA party favorite to GOPe.
I WILL make it a point to support who ever her challenger is in 2016.
