Joe Scarborough : Who cares if GOP loses Congress ?

Who cares if GOP loses Congress?

By Joe Scarborough

Who really cares if Republicans lose Congress? Certainly not GOP leaders in the US House.

As the Wall Street Journal reported, the Republican pigs running Congress are wasting more money than those big-spending Democrats ever did.

Last month's deficit was the highest ever. But while Rome burns, Republicans obsess over their earmarks.

Conservative Republicans. What an oxymoron.

There is nothing conservative about the party to which I once proudly belonged. Like millions, I am disgusted by my party and their leaders.

A handful of responsible adults still understand the need for reform. But don't tell that to GOP bulls who have been trying to spend money like drunken sailors since they were empowered by the Revolution of 1994.

Some revolution.

A decade later, Republicans have given America the biggest deficit ever. The biggest debt ever. The biggest trade gap ever. The highest spending increases ever. A 110% increase in the education bureaucracy. A 100% increase in the Justice bureaucracy. An 88% increase in the Department of HHS. More pork projects than ever before. More earmarks than ever before. More reckless spending projects than ever before. A bigger, more wasteful government than ever before.

Why the hell should conservatives work to put these whores back in their perches of power?

Could Nancy Pelosi's Congress be worse?

Not on the spending level, because George W. Bush would have the courage to veto her outrageous spending bills. Sadly, he has shown no such fortitude with his own party in charge.

It is disgusting. It is also a problem I diagnosed two years ago in my book. But Republicans weren't listening then and they won't listen now.

Power comes from elections. Candidates who become Members gain power from the People.

When they abuse their power, especially when it is shown that they have lied to gain it, it's very important for their power to be taken away.

That taking away the power of these fraudulent "republicans" involves the election of Democrats is very unfortunate, but, ces't la guerre.

To fail to punish the current majority for their defalcations is a repudiation of republicanism and the principles on which this country is founded.

And to permit this majority to go on, with their bloated staffs and their anti-constitutional agenda, is to delay the emergence in this nation of a real opposition.

"You have sat too long for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!"

Sounds fine to me. At least I'll know where 90% of my enemies are. It's better than being led down the garden path and being told how great life is while the wolf is eating my children in the background.>

That has to be among the most stupid things I've heard yet.

If you're fine with having your enemies in positions of power, thinking that will keep your children safe, that makes you a real chump.

Yeah well your position is the most insane thing I have ever heard.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting to get different results.

There's something wrong with that kind of thought process.
