If the Republican Party wants to gain the momentum from the voters, then they need to not be a party of “no.” That is what they have been doing since President Obama took office.
There is one thing to vote no against something you disagree with, but as the whole, the Republican Party has voted “no” on everything. The reality of what is happening in the United States of America is not good. People are suffering far more than they should. If the mess we are in has to do with President Bush, our last President, the GOP, or whomever, it is the responsibility of government to help turn things around. We the citizens have to do our part also.
It took more than eight years of the Bush administration to cause economic meltdown in the USA. Now we all live in the present. It us up to every one of us to make a better future for all that lives in this still great country. The Preamble of the Constitution does not say “WE THE POEPLE” for nothing. We all must do our part for ourselves and for the nation.
We must have government! That is understood in all walks of life. The question is not too much government but what kind will carry this country to prosperity? We have seen too little in the eight years before President Obama. We do not need the extreme on the other side of the fence. Just the same, we need government regulations like health care reform and Wall Street reform. In the past, businesses has abused their power over the citizens that simply want a life of prosperity that is allowed by everyone in this country.
People has died due to the lack of heath care needed. People have lost their jobs due to the economic downfalls. The economy might be showing progress, but it is far from being stable enough to celebrate. Far, far too many people are out of work. This is not a sign that we should go back to how government was run years ago if we are slowing progressing in the right direction.
People are still hurting today. This is not made up statistics. This is cold hard reality. I cannot say that the Democratic Party is much better than the Republican Party, but at the moment, I would not want to vote for any politician that is a part of the Republican Party until they can prove to me they will stop with the big fat “no voting” and do what is required of them.
