OK folks, let’s talk real politics for a minute here. Everyone who is a Republican or conservative
is riding high on a wave of optimism that we just had a Republican landslide
repudiation of the liberal Obama policy agenda.
At least that is what all the conservative political pundits and
political action groups are saying. But
what is the truth here?
The truth is that we still have a badly fractured political
party system that is represented by elected officials who in many cases are
bought and paid for by people and corporations with money who expect favors in
return. We have a TEA Party agenda that
is still a divisive wedge in the Republican party, and we will likely not see
cooperation in securing votes. And the
term landslide is laughable…we have a two vote majority in the senate and a
slightly larger majority in the house…if
all the TEA Party folks vote with the traditional Republicans.
Likely, what we will see over the next two years is a
legislature that is still driven by hardline political ideologues who cannot
compromise or work cooperatively together.
We will see votes that fall along the lines of the agendas of the monied
puppeteers who funded campaigns of Republicans, Democrats and TEA Party
legislators. More importantly, we will
see the Ideologue-In-Chief continue his march to rule by Executive Fiat by
promulgating Executive Orders to implement his liberal strategies. Congress is so fractured that no two-thirds
majority will exist to block his actions.
Trust me, this is going to be a circus act, not a group of
statesmen with the country’s best interests at heart.
