Republicans are building a history of voting as a bloc against everything proposed by Democrats regardless of the benefits to Americans. They are apparently bent on destroying anything Democrats try to pass.
By admission and by action, Republicans are delaying any Congressional movement they can, because it means to some extent, destroying or eroding any accomplishments by Democrats. Republicans are heavily lobbied and their campaigns heavily supplied by big business interests, and that is whom they obey.
Republicans vote as they are told.
There is no denying that bloc voting gets results, and perhaps the Republicans see that by preventing the president’s party from making any progress, they will make them seem as if they are ineffectual and cannot achieve anything of meaning. But the American voter is not stupid. If the Republican voters are more than drones that blindly vote for their party candidates, they are aware of the roadblocks to progress carefully set in the way by their own party management.
Republicans are attempting to capitalize on the wave of voter disillusion with current Members of Congress with regard to the slowness of recovery and the growing debt and deficit of the government. By voting against any issue that increases debt (and implied to raise taxes), Republicans are hoping to unseat their opponents.
I think that voters would be more understanding if the issues the Republicans voted ‘nay’ on were issues of progress rather than social welfare provisions that promote the basic well-being of individuals in need.
The Republican party has voted as a bloc against
- extending unemployment benefits
- paying our troops at Christmastime
- sexual assault reprisals against government contractors
- fair pay for women and minorities
- job creation
- universal health care for 11 million children and others in need.
Republicans have promosed to repeal the health care law as dictated by their health-insurance company masters if they ever get to be the majority. They will promise to start over, but it will never come to pass. It will be talked to oblivion and eventually die in committee.
Republicans don’t like to be forced to choose their health plans like the common people. They want their exclusive plans back.
To give an idea of the fanatics that inhabit positions of power in the Republican Party, see the Republican purity test submitted as a potential Republican resolution at the 2010 winter meeting in Honolulu. Thank goodness it was overwhelmingly defeated. There was another famous party in 1930′s Europe that tried to build its ranks on “purity”, and see how they turned out.
In all fairness, I wonder if the tables were turned, would the Democrats perform so hatefully to the American people. Perhaps. We’ll see. Voters in this country elect not only the president, but also the individual members of Congress.
Congress’s approval rating is at a staggering low of 19% (July 16, 2010).
Republicans voted against:
–Fair Pay
–Obama’s Economic Policies
–Obama Nominee Sonia Sotomayor
–Universal Health Care
–Contractor Sexual Assault Reprisals
–Paying Troops at Christmas
–PAYGO
–the Stimulus bill
–Job Creation
–the Landmark Healthcare bill
–Extending Unemployment benefits
–Financial Overhaul
