The incessant cry of "DIVISION" has emanated from the right since before the inauguration of 2008. The only problem with that is they cannot, when asked directly, say how that division is being fostered by our current administration. They will make reference to something called "Class Warfare" but ignore the truth that the class war had been declared on the poor and middle class by policies put in place by both parties long before the election of President Obama. The rich have been getting richer for the past 30 years while the portion of this nation's wealth held by the middle class has decreased incrementally over this same period.
That is war no doubt, and the right sees no problem with the current policies that allow for this war and instead want to expand the arsenal that promotes it. Republicans seem most intent on dividing the middle class from the security they have worked for from how they will live in the future. Beyond that all I've seen is mumbled incoherence.
That's just one of the more obvious form of divisions that can be attributed to the present day Republican Party. This once reasonable opposition party has managed to create division in ways no one had considered in the not so distant past. Their blind ideological drive to remove President Obama from office at any cost has moved them to the point of shattering even their own party, while damaging the foundation of this country.
How else can anyone explain the rights' fight with itself that has resulted in Republicans arguing with Catholics, not the "Church" but the people who make up that church? When their tax breaks are the only thing that will save this country but any tax relief proposed by this administration will bring the country to its knees. What else explains the situation we see in the primaries where there have been no fewer than 9 lead changes, from a crazy eyed manic candidate to a governor without a clue to a former business magnate that had just 1 idea and a few issues to explain to his wife . And who can forget the Donald? Nuff said there. Romney, Gingrich, back to Romney. But wait, here comes Santorum. Confused? No more than the Republican party.
They appear to be against themselves in their blind desires. To achieve their goal they have separated the party from women, African Americans, Hispanics, independent voters, gays and even divided the moderate, reasonable Republicans from the far right. The blatant disregard shown to the majority of Americans when it comes to fair tax laws, gay marriage, health care, unions and those who do not live in the lofty clouds of the 1% of the 1% makes the plan clear. They want to end the Obama administration at any cost, and if that cost is borne by the poor and middle class it's even better. We wouldn't want to put a strain on those invisible job creators now would we? That struggling group of people that make more than $77,000.00 a month needs help too.
They proudly declare on a daily basis what they are against, any where, any time. But one need only watch the circle jerk they have created in the 112th Congress to see the direction they are looking to take this country.
What they haven't done is provide Americans any solutions, anything positive.
And they scream "DIVISION".
How can a party that is against everything and everyone in this country bring us back together?
