They might have gotten a 90 day stay, but the Republicans are on STRICT probation. They don't know it yet, but as soon as the glitter from being elected clears their eyes, they'll see those "wonderful voters" who put them there, have turned into strict Probation Officers, who will be checking, and often...daily in fact.
The GOP is getting a freebie "do over" and the TPM is getting a test. Will all the rhetoric of the past few months turn out to be teleprompTer trash, or do they really mean they've grown a set and will stand up to the dems?
Obama and Harry Reid have already issued them implied orders who what they will be voting on and how much they had better compromise on healthcare. Do ya reckon they're scared yet?
At some point, America's government has GOT to rise up above the same ol, same ol, way of screwing the American people. Both sides spends hours of air and print time telling us "what the people want"...well, it can't be the same people. To the left, a crowd of more than one person, is "the people". To the right, the Constitution is "the people.".
Meanwhile, the real "people" sit out here in flyover country and watch this bunch of koolaid pushers have a fight with nerf balls while we're paying for it all.
One thing is for sure, we can't turn this government over to any bunch of electeds, and then we go back to our busienss as usual.
Both parties have shown that they do NOT walk their talk, and that they cannot be trusted without oversight. I propose a subset of the TPM called the COP...Citizens Oversight Patrol, whose function it will be to monitor the government and blow the whistle when they start trampling the Constitution and/or our American Security and traditions.
Hell, I may start it myself.
Those boys and girls on the hill need supervision...not for the mechanics of their jobs so much, but for the honesty and integrity of it. Their deportment is deplorable.
