When you’re dealing with crazy people they want their way regardless of the damage they’ll do to get it. They simply don’t care what the collateral damage is. Conscionable people however, do care. That’s why we do negotiate with terrorists. And, yes, a politician who is willing to damage the military and reduce its effectiveness for a decade into the future to achieve his socialist aims is a terrorist. The fact that he’s a US senator notwithstanding.
You campaigned as a Tea Party Republican and promised to reign in the government in Washington. I voted for you precisely because you were going to fight to reduce the size of government and its control over our lives.
In the past year, you have proposed additions to the already onerous federal gun laws, and have supported the dumping of millions of illegal aliens onto the backs of us taxpayers.
Now, when a vehicle for if not stopping, then at least slowing down Obamacare is available, you are not fully on board. Let me make this as clear as I can. A vote for cloture is a vote FOR Obamacare. It doesnt matter how you vote on the bill itself. In the Senate, there is a method for the minority party to have a say in the outcome of legislation, and its time for the Republicans, and yourself in particular, to start fighting by using the means at your disposal.
In addition to this fight, I expect you to fight to NOT increase the debt limit. ANY vote to increase the debt limit, including a cloture vote, is a vote FOR increasing the debt, something you pledged to fight during your campaign.
The press says that you are afraid of Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party. Well, you should be, since they speak for the vast majority of your voters. Washington is not a microcosm of America. Listen to your constituents, not the escargot eating surrender monkeys who occupy the media appointed posts of the Republican leadership.
For the past few election cycles, the Republicans have been losing simply because they want to appear like Democrats. If it is true that a Republican cannot win by running on the principles and ideals that founded this country, then it is already too late, and America is dead. I don't believe that America is dead, and the election of 2010 is proof.
Its time for you to choose. Are you going to represent patriotic Americans who believe in the founding principles, or are you just looking to get a good seat on the Politburo and bide your time until you can retire on a juicy taxpayer funded pension?
