More Bubbles From My Soapbox

There are two sides to the Republican Party. There is what they say and then there is what they do. I have noticed that the two never seem to match up.

This is what they say:

Ever Republican politician loves to rail and rant on how big and intrusive the Government is. All they want to do is reduce government and get them out of our lives.

This is what they do:

They pass the worse and most intrusive piece of legislation ever written in my lifetime and now want to extend and expand it.  The Patriot Act.  They have put Arkansas Senaterrible Tehran Tom (I My Brain Is Made Of) Cotton in charge of doing this. I can see why, he has the least experience in foreign policy in all of Congress. They also do everything they can to keep government in our bedrooms and in women’s health care.

This is what they say:

We are doing this for our children and grandchildren because our children are the most important thing in the world.

This is what they do:

Every Republican governor in the country has slashed the budget for education in their state.  They are against every environmental issue on the table which tells me they could give a shit about the future. The unborn are their primary focus. Once they are born, they couldn't care less.

This is what they say:

They say they want to get rid of welfare programs, i.e food stamps and etc, because it just makes people dependent on the government.

This is what they do:

They give billions of dollars in subsidies and tax breaks to large corporations who make billions and billions of dollars in profit every year.   

They might think about changing the name to the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Party.  It would be much more accurate.  

 Stay tuned for future adventures.
