In my opinion, the REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS TWO YEARS TO LIVE! On the subject of defunding President Obama’s executive order on immigration (in his words, “changing the law”), after he himself stated on twenty-two different occasions, that the Constitution did not give him that power, the Republicans capitulated…again.

I became involved in politics because of the bold Contract with America presented by the Republicans in 1994. Since that time, the Republicans have done little to advance the Conservative Cause. In 1998 (just five years after their “revolution”) they produced an Omnibus Spending Bill filled with pork. The Bush administration doubled our national debt to 10 trillion dollars, in 2010 they promised to cut $100 billion out of the budget but didn’t, they claimed they wanted to repeal Obamacare but can’t even cut its funding, which is well within their ability and last year, the Republicans in Congress (with the help of eager Democrats) produced a pork filled Cromnibus Bill. And just now, broke their promise to defund, what THEY said, was President Obamas’ illegal executive order.

The Republicans in Washington have become a joke. The Democrats use them as punching bags and outsmart them at every turn. Observing them is like watching your favorite professional football team fumble the ball EVERY time they get it. After a while you are compelled by frustration, to jump up and say; “for Heavens’ sakes, hold on to the ball, I can do better than that!”

Conservative Republicans back home are getting, tired, angry and frustrated with the broken promises and cowardice of Washington Republicans. This is like Lucy and the football, over and over again. After a while, you begin to feel a little foolish rooting and voting for, what is generally considered the “Stupid Party.” And if the Republicans don’t do something bold in the next two years and continue to be “too stupid to explain their positons and too cowardly to defend them” I believe in 2016, twenty million people are going to give up on them and join the four million who did not bother to vote in 2012.
