Right, Radical Republicanism Rejected By The Majority of Americans.
Each time they loose an election Republicans just can’t understand it. They go around acting as if they won or try to ruin the government of who ever did win. Some form of aberrant denial. President Obama has beaten both McCain and now Romney. McCain has never gotten over it and in his senile, spiteful way continues to do take swipes at the President and his administration. Romney is starting out the same way with mean spirited derisive behavior. Romney has recently repeated basically the same things he said in the famous “47 percent video!
At a time when the Senate and the Congress should be focusing on the economy, creating jobs, budget and reducing the deficit all certain Republicans can do is try to create scandals, embarrass the President and the administration and obstruct.
As the presidential election approached Republicans were working on conjuring up an “October Surprise” to “bring down the President.” Romney was so anxious to find something that he came out criticizing the administration before the facts about the Benghazi attack in Libya were even known. He basically shot himself in the foot. Shortly after that Republican Congressman Inofe started a congressional investigation, but it seems that mother nature had her own October surprise, it was called “Sandy.” Had it not been for this hurricane combining with other weather conditions hitting the east coast Republicans would have been pushing harder to turn the attack in Libya in to a foreign policy scandal. The fact is Republicans voted down money the State Department requested to beef up security at our embassies and consulates around the world. If Republicans has passed these appropriations there might have been security at the consulate in Benghazi. Is this really another example of what Republican obstruction and partisan politics has done?
Meanwhile an FBi agent, Fredrick Humphrey, known to be a Republican conservative, who was not assigned to the case, tryed to escalate a matter he reported about a woman friend of his getting threatening emails. When things don’t seem to be moving fast enough to create a scandal before the presidential election, he went to a Republican Congressmen claiming the FBI was dragging their feet for political reasons. This doesn’t pan out before the election but results in General Petraeus resigning as head of the CIA, after the election. It’s clear that Republicans were desperate for a scandal to embarrass the President before the election. Now that the election is over, they are trying to use the same “red herrings” to hurt the President and distract the public from the real problems facing the nation. This is unpatriotic and shows disdain for the democratic process.
These crazy Republican distractions are flooding the airwaves. The media loves a scandal. It’s a scandal that Republican politicians and operatives are wasting their time and our tax dollars pushing. It’s obvious partisan politics. The press should call them out on this and not just go along with their agenda. In addition to the politicians ugly behavior we have nut case tea party members and others getting up petitions to secede from the union because they lost the election. This insanity is being fanned by irresponsible, right wing radio and television hacks.
Senator McCain, someone who once had the respect of many people, has turned into a senile blowhard who should just resign from the Senate before he further ruins his reputation and makes a fool of himself. Other Republicans should be called to task for failing to work on constructive projects to improve the economy and create jobs for Americans.
There is no “smoking gun” in Benghazi. The consulate was hit by terrorists on September 11th because they saw an opportunity. It probably was planned. Apparently our security had no knowledge of the impending attack. One has to wonder why the Ambassador was there without a security detail. Was the mission in Libya underfunded because of the Republican Congress? The CIA and the State Department need money to gather intelligence.
The whole can of worms around General Petreaus, General Allen and the women involved so far has not been something that jeopardized national security. This agent who tried to politicize this matter should be reprimanded and/or fired from the FBI. He should have let the FBI do it’s work before going public with classified information.
It is no coincidence that the Republican Congress is trying to create problems for the administration now, before the President’s second term even begins. They want to discredit him through members of his administration to, among other things, hinder him and reduce the mandate he has received from the American people who elected him. The majority of Americans rejected the far right wing Republican party. But these traitors to the country are still trying to get power no matter what it costs the average American. What they fail to realize is that the Republican presidential candidate was a pathetic liar and panderer. Americans sooner or later can recognize BS.
Americans need to show support for the President in anyway possible. This will blunt the attack on him and the administration. It will silence all the crazies who are running around getting petitions signed to secede from the union or impeach the president, because they lost the election. But more than anything it will allow everyone to focus on the real issues facing the country.
