It’s easy to be a Republican politician; all you have to do is point fingers and blame others.
Think about it; if you have no authority or power to effect
change, you can say whatever you want, make any promises you want, and make any
claim you want, and when you are taken to task for not delivering on any of it,
you can point at the majority party and say, “They’re obstructing us! They won’t
listen to us!” and go on your merry way to enjoy the trappings of privilege,
secure in the knowledge that you have evaded the responsibility of fulfilling
your commitment to your constituents.
The Republican wing of The
Legislature is, by and large, populated by geldings. They aren’t willing to take
a stand if it means that they might come under criticism. They aren’t willing
to risk their privileged lifestyle by calling out their fellow GOP-ers when
they endorse candidates from the opposition, and they don’t support a President
that came from outside the party, even when his pugnaciousness inspires voters
to support the party in hopes for more of the same.
Unfortunately, the
GOP is content to sit by and allow the Democrats to steal the Presidency. It’s
easier this way; they get to make noises like they are outraged while
simultaneously sitting on their hands.
It’s no longer
Democrats and Republicans; it’s Democrats and Eunuchs.
