#4 Drudge right now has a photo of the Pope lecturing Congress on immigration. In the photo, Boehner is weeping. We can gather 2 things from this. The first is that the tide is against us. The second is that current Republican leadership can't and won't stop it.
With Perry and Walker out of the race, there is not a single Republican candidate out of the 15 remaining who even conceivably might do something to slow the rate of decline, much less reverse it.
I keep hearing that our guys are not as bad as their guys. Reminds me of a quote from many time socialist candidate for president Norman Thomas: “The difference between Democrats and Republicans is--Democrats have accepted some ideas of Socialism cheerfully, while Republicans have accepted them reluctantly.”
Well, slow isn't good enough for me. If we're going off the cliff then put your foot down and get on with it. At least I'll have a chance to do something about it, rather than try to push the problem off on my kids. |
