Image:I, along with all of you, wish Breitbart was still with us, as he would have had a unique way to address this thorny issue of Big Government intrusion into our constitutional rights. Although nobody will ever fill his shoes, I feel confident I know what his position would be in this regard.
Disappointment doesn’t quite capture the essence of how grass-roots conservatives feel right now about the feckless Republicans on Capitol Hill. Disappointment, after all, can only exist when one’s expectations go unfulfilled. Conservatives are not delusional enough to expect Republicans in Washington to actually mount an effective countercampaign to the Democrats’ unrelenting march toward total government rule. What GOP voters are experiencing is not disappointment so much as a noxious amalgam of exasperation, aggravation and nausea.(full story by Milton Wolf at washingtontimes.com)
I marvel at Republicans’ inability to expose — or perhaps even recognize — the abject absurdity of Democrats during this entire fiscal cliff debacle. For over a decade, Democrats have cried that President George W. Bush’s tax cuts are the root of all economic evil, that they caused the 2008 recession and exploded our debt. Now they demand that 99 percent of those tax cuts be reinstated?
The Democrats’ endlessly repeated phrase, “Bush tax cuts for the rich,” has become the party’s mantra. Then, without batting an eye, they admit that it was all a lie as they demand we reinstate the 99 percent of Bush’s tax cuts that were for the middle class.
Are there no Republicans capable of exposing these duplicitous Democrats? Perhaps we can enlist a few junior high school kids to teach the GOP how to perform YouTube video searches of their adversaries to expose the breathtaking hypocrisy of being against the Bush tax cuts before they were for them.
