I keep expecting more from DC Republicans – but they suck anyways.

Government-Spending-998x665That’s what swamp creatures do.  And this time, Trump jumped in.  From the Union Leader:

The bill abandons GOP claims of fiscal discipline in a stark reversal of the promises many Republicans ran on in capturing control of the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014 as they railed against what they described as a profligate President Barack Obama.

House GOP leaders tossed aside their own rules and past complaints about Democrats to rush the legislation through the House ahead of a Friday night government shutdown deadline. Lawmakers of both parties seethed, saying they had scant time to read the mammoth bill, which was released less than 17 hours before they voted.

If the “lawmakers of both parties seethed”, then why did they vote yes?  Sorry, I lost my mind for a moment.  Yes, I was part of that  TEA Party movement that gave the Rs that House control thinking that they knew their support wanted less spending, Constitutional boundaries respected, and leave the marketplace alone.  Yeah, that lasted only as long as it took to certify the voting results; shortly afterwards, the GOP threw us overboard and demonized us like the Democrats had been doing.

Thus, many of us have that “cold anger” just laying in wait – and the GOP keeps adding onto the reasons why to think “no difference between the twain”.  Yes, I fully realize what damage would happen if the Dems ran the table like in 2008 – but why should we settle for the same thing in slow motion just because it is the Republicans who can’t even live up to their previous promise “Yes, we love Big Government, too – but we’ll manage it better”.

I’m waiting for that “better” part – and have been for years.  You know, I’m gonna keep talking about that Federalist Party because even though I’m not a Republican, I’ve been voting for the Party that has been winning.

Yet why do I keep knowing that I’m still losing? Yeah, I know, I know…
