In recent weeks the Conservatives (Republicans, Tea Partyers, Far Right Extremists) in Congress have attempted to paint the Obama administration as: The most corrupt government in history, worse then Watergate, worse then Nazi Germany, worse then Fascist Italy and the list goes on.
The problem is that it is all, distractions. The IRS scandal occurred because of the convoluted tax laws that are vague at best and completely idiotic. The attack on our consulate was tragic, but unavoidable. In my opinion the closest to scandal we get is the attempt to strong arm the press, but that has occurred since the beginning of time.
Political problems, yes. Scandals, no. The real scandal in DC is a Congress, especially the Republican lead House of Representatives, that continues to get paid and yet do NO work. Think about your own job. Would your employer continue to pay you and provide a job if you showed up sometimes and once there accomplished nothing? Absolutely not. We would be fired. Right to work laws passed by Republicans in various states, permit employers to dismiss people for now reason, as long as that reason has nothing to do with age, gender, religion, race or nationality. Yeah, and try to prove that against a giant corporation. Here is Congress trying to repel Obama Care, what thirty some times. Remember, one of the signs of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Under that premise, most Republicans in Congress should be institutionalized, not trying to make laws.
The scandal is this. How many jobs bills have been passed and sent to the President for his signature? Zero. How many voter's rights bills have been passed and sent to the President for a signature? Zero. How many bills to protect consumers have been passed and sent to the President for a signature? Zero. How many bills to rebuild our infrastructure have been passed and sent to the President for his signature? Zero. How many bills to correct the immigration problem in the country have been passed and sent to the President for his signature? Zero. How many bills to address the corruption in government, that allows corporations and wealthy special interest to buy elections have been passed and sent to the President for his signature? Zero. How many bills to really protect our children and grandchildren from the effects of pollution have been passed and sent to the President for his signature? Zero.
You get the message. The Republicans in Congress do not care about the country, they only care about the next election. The are like David Copperfield. Distract people with smoke and mirrors while they do what the want on the other side. They should all be fired! We need people in DC, that will start to put the interest of America and the average citizen above everything else. Folks, the people we elect WORK FOR US. We pay their salaries. We need to adopt Mitt Romney's approach of, "Liking to fire people, who don't do their jobs." Call them. Write to them. Let them all know that they will not keep their jobs, because they do nothing for us. We are the bosses and yet we allow them to show up to work whenever they feel like it and while they are there it is always a coffee break. Now is the time to say, "YOU'RE FIRED."
