It's about taking a stand when we need them the most, and not compromising on key issues.
Johnson has been a disappointment.
It seems for some it is more for making sure we lose the 2014 election, so we can continue to rant about things.
The amazing thing is that there are people here who act like there are really pure politicians out there, who always do what we want.
Hell, if we elected you to be a representative, I don’t even think YOU would end up always doing what YOU wanted, much less what WE wanted.
I know i don’t want the democrats doing whatever they please for the next year, much less the next three years.
And I know there are real “problems” in the GOP side, which keep us from being able to be 100% united behind any particular point. Which means that if the democrats stay united, we cannot get exactly what we want.
I know what I WISH we could get through congress. And I’m certainly not happy with what we ARE getting. But I guess I’m just not ready to kill everybody and let God sort it out. We can’t afford another rebuilding term. The country is in sad enough shape as it is.
So do I want 45 billion in more spending that is paid for only later? No. DO I think we can fix a 45 billion dollar problem with a republican senate? I don’t know, but I am certain that if the democrats win the senate in 2014, by 2016 we will look back fondly on the day we only had 45 billion more in spending.
