Republicans must face reality

Republicans in Congress must lift their veil of ignorance and face reality on the Hill. This is the true state of this country politically. Democrats are seen as doing a better job than Republicans in the public. In addition, in a study by Gallup, this nation is trending blue (or Democrat) with the exception of FIVE states! This is the reality, not some fictional world that the GOPs seem to live  in. The will of the people is for the members of congress to work with President Obama and pass legislations to move this country forward, not for our elected officials to play naysayers and play games with our future.

I can’t believe that Republicans on the Hill is willing to risk everything, including the 2010 election, by playing the party of “no” to the Obama administration and deny him of his Mandate. Not only did the GOP miss the mark during the Presidential election, they are still out of touch now in 2009. They failed to gauge the climate of the country in 2008 and they still refuse to see it now. Instead of aggressively working with the Democrats and President Obama, they want to play politics and obstruct at every available turn. They would rather hid in their protected little world, backed by their trust funds and bailed out money of big corporations, than work to halt this country’s slid into financial disaster. Instead of protecting the interests of the middle class and the blue collared workers, they are actively working with the corporations to attack the welfare of the everday men and women.

This is the time for the GOP to wake up and realize that they are just typical Americans, not any better than your average factory worker. Their livlihood is tied into the welfare of the people. Will they come to bat or will they join Rush Limbaugh on the sidelines wishing for Obama to fail and for this country to sink into a deeper financial slump, one created by their hero, former President George Bush?

If the GOP wants to play politics with the future of this country, let them. It’s their heads that will roll come the 2010 election. As painful as it may be to us, if the only way we can move forward is remove the game playing GOPs, then we must endure.
