things never change

and with this, the Republicans prove that they cannot take a hint. There is no way we can vote ourselves out of what is about to come.

We are on the train to national insolvency and dictatorship. The left claims that they need to tax the rich to pay for all of their programs and ensure that everyone gets a fair share of the national economic pie. They ignore the fact that they are spending us into insolvency. Oh, and they want to ban guns and legalize pot.

The right claims that they want to control the left's spending, but never seem to do so. They claim that we need to cut spending and taxes. Just not defense. We need to go to war with everyone until they all bow down to us as Americans and outlaw gay marriage.

Neither party wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. 

The chief war cry of the right is: if you don' t vote for the party hack, it is the same as voting for the other guy. Except, they forget that it won't matter which one you vote for, because other than the D or R behind his name, there is not a real difference between them.

Lest you forget, our last Republican president brought us a 9 year long war in Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with the attacks on 9/11; the Patriot Act; the TSA and their intrusive searches; secret prisons; torturing prisoners for information; and added more than $4,900,000,000,000 to the national debt in 8 years.

Our current President has expanded the powers left for him by his Republican predecessor and begun executing assassinating Americans without trial, forced people to buy products that they don't want, and has expanded the national debt by $7,500,000,000,000 in 6 years.

It doesn't matter who we vote for, as our course is set. We aren't voting our way out of this. It is only a matter of time before we sink our national ship under the weight of fiscal irresponsibility.
