There is literally no limit to the amount non-sense, vindictive, and appalling actions that the House of Representative republicans are willing to take in order to destroy President Obama and stick it to the poor and middle class. From the ridiculous number of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act that have been carried out in the House – 40 in all, the most recent on August 2nd – to yet another threat to shut down the government and refuse to raise the debt ceiling again, the republican party is showing just how ignorant, petty, greedy, racist, and full of shit they really are.
And now, there are even republicans speaking publicly about their desire to start impeachment proceedings against the president, And the kicker on that is that they are still trying to figure out what they can impeach him on. They don’t have anything specific yet, just a claim that there must be something behind that IRS non-scandal, Benghazi or something, surely. As much as they hate the president, they figure that surely they can dream up something to impeach him on. Even though, like their meaningless, mindless votes to repeal Obama Care that have no chance of working, they are not concerned with doing their job of passing laws under a democratic system. They are obsessed with taking down President Barrack Obama, and rolling back progress and all the social safety nets that have been acquired in this country over the years, things that help the poor and the middle-class – in other words, the majority of Americans. They are a minority party, only controlling the House, which they use as a constant noise machine and wrecking ball since they lost the vote on the laws passed. In the Senate, in which they are the minority party, they focus on pure obstructionism, using the filibuster a record number of times to prevent our democratically elected government from holding any votes that they cannot win. They seem to have forgotten that majority is supposed to rule in a democracy, and if they can’t win elections or votes legitimately, they are hellbent on getting their way through any means necessary. If they have to shut down the government, destroy the economy, and deny sick people access to healthcare, then that is what they will try and do. They are simply, a minority party, representing the minority: the super-rich and super greedy. And they will stop at nothing to get their way, or if their way can’t be gotten, they will stomp their feet and throw tantrums like angry children. Idiots and assholes.
