Wasteful spending and more of the same

I am sick of listening to the GOP complain about this stimulus package, claiming that it’s just spending and waste. What they failed to tell the American people is that their own president presided over perhaps the largest government in the history. What they also don’t want to discuss is the fact that the GOP with their precious former president initiated the largest spending project, the Iraqi Conflict. They call spending on national infrastructure, health care, unemployment benefits, and education, as wasteful and unhelpful to the economy, yet this conflict in Iraq is draining TRILLIONS of dollars out the the treasury and with no apparent impact to our economy. It’s funny that Republican governors of this country back the Stimulus package because they are closer to the problems of this country than members of congress that sit in their little office, shielded from the problems of society. It’s funny that moderate Republicans like Olympia Snowe support the stimulus because she understand the cost of standing still and do nothing constructive like her fellow Republicans.

GOP elected a new leader to head the party, their first African American, in response to the defeat in 2008 and to President Obama. However, this so called leader of the GOP still don’t understand what is wrong with the party. There is not only a problem with the message, but a problem with the core of the Party. GOP needs to realize that the country is built on the backs of the middle class, not the few wealthy and not on the backs of Wall Street. They don’t know how out of touch they are with everyday people. They don’t see that Joe the not-quite-a-plumber doesn’t represent this country. They don’t understand that playing politics at a time like this will only hurt this country. Instead of supporting a stimulus package that is about spending on the people of this country, they want more tax cuts for big businesses and they want to keep spending TRILLIONS on a war that was illegally waged. Instead of standing with our President, they would rather side with ultra conservatives like Rush LImbaugh and against this country.

GOP don’t understand what wasteful spending is. This is the party that wants to win back the people?

Barack won because McCain was more of the same. Now we come to find out that in these dark hours, the GOPs are still more of the same.
