“Give some credit where it’s due”
I understand what you are saying, but here’s the deal: If we have to ‘praise’ the republicans for doing what we sent them to congress to do in the first place, then we are in real trouble long term. If we are now suppose to bow down to republicans for voting against a flagrant marxist agenda..then we are in real trouble long term. Voting against the democrat’s marxist bills should be a no brainer for any republican or conservative.
The House does deserve some praise of late, starting with the ‘Drill Here, Drill Now’ debate last fall and continuing to now with CapnTrade and the ‘Deathcare’ bill..however..it should have been a given that they would vote against it in the first place. THAT IS WHAT WE SENT THEM TO WASHINGTON TO DO!!
My problem with many of them is that we are not seeing them on TV shouting from the rooftops enough. They should be out there every single day informing the American people of the dangers of Obama and the democrats radical plans for our country. I just don’t see them out there(with a few notable exceptions that I can count on one hand). Today for instance...on every program on Fox News there were democrat congresscritters doing guest spots. I did not see one republican congresscritter all day long to counter any of the democrats spin and flagrant lying.
Yes, you should praise your Reps if they are doing what you sent them to do. They should not get only condemnation all the time. No one said you should "bow down". But praise for doing what's right or even just stopping the bashing once in awhile is nice.
They should be out there every single day
They are in various ways. Stacking the panels though on the shows is a liberal trick that the media has been doing for years. Do you really believe that getting on the MSM is a matter of just saying, "hey guys, I want to be on to spout my view?" If you do, you have a lot to learn.
