Cry Babies?
GOP Senators Refusing To Work Past 2PM, Invoking Obscure Rule
First they try stalling and delaying tactics to prevent HCR from passing. As a party, the GOP decided to not work with President Obama or congressional democrats on anything including HCR. But, when they didn't get their way, as a party they've decided to use an obscure rule to stop work altogether.
Now, did the Dems not just use an obscure rule to pass HCR? Absolutely, but after a year of trying to work with congressional republicans who were stonewalling any legislation that dealt with HCR.
However, like the babies throwing a temper tantrum they've decided to take their toys and go home. Or more accurately, to take their selves and leave. What other job has this option? If I'm mad at my place of work for instigating a policy I don't like, I don't have the option of leaving early.
These people seem to think they're special, but what I think a lot of congressional members seem to forget is that they work for us. That's right. They report to you an me. We do not suffer their whims, they suffer ours. That's how a republic works. And yes, we live in a republic. If we didn't we wouldn't have elected officials we'd have town hall meetings where and when everyone gets a chance to speak and vote on every issue.
But these people -- our employees -- have decided to play crybaby and refuse to play nicely. Is this typical Republican behavior? They got their way for eight Bush years and now they are being asked to collaborate instead of dictate and it seems to be eating at them.
Is the "moral majority" party really that narcissistic? Are they that conceited?
Seems the Grand Old Party has some deep seated psychological issues they need to address.
That's a good thought: does anyone know if there's been a published study of the psychologies of people who tend to lean Left or Right? That would be a good read, I think.
