Who's going to blink first?

Who is going to blink first?

As we get closer to the President’s self imposed debt deadline of August 2nd two things are apparent; at least to me.

1. The Republicans seem to have no balls
2. The Democrats in Washington, (aside from being what I consider to be the most vile, corrupt bunch of pond scum – and I mean that in the nicest possible way) have no scruples and if they do it’s because they stole them from someone in a backroom deal somewhere.

Another thing I’ve gleaned over the years is the proclivity of people with good intentions to become corrupt after getting into office is strong.

So here is where we are in my view. The Democrats had the House and the Senate and the White House and still failed to produce a balanced budget in almost three years. It was something they weren’t interested in. They were more inclined to keep kicking the metaphorical can down the road and stay with the tried and true Democrat mantra of raising the debt limit, spending money, threatening seniors with their social security and Medicare being pulled from them and claiming the rich aren’t paying their fair share. And isn't ironic that Senator Obama, Reid, Palosi and the gang all voted against raising the debt ceiling when George Bush was President.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch the Republicans talked a good game of fiscal responsibility and giving corporations and small business owners – you know, the folks who actually hire people and cause the economy to grow tax breaks. The problem is they wet themselves every time the Democrats went for the jugular and claimed the Republicans were trying to push granny over the cliff in a wheelchair. They figured they’d better ‘compromise’ with the Democrats so they didn’t get blamed for whatever fiscal mess de jour the Democrats had gotten the nation into.

Here is a hint for you weak-bladdered Republicans in the belt way: Intelligent people know you can’t keep kicking that can down the road. Sooner or later we have to make some hard decisions or money will truly be completely out and granny, social security recipients and you are really going to be screwed. More importantly there are folks who are dumber than a box of rocks (you know the folks like the ones who voted for Obama without knowing a thing about him but wanted to in order to prove they weren’t racist; only stupid). Those folks will blame Republicans, no matter what. Deal with it and do what you were sent to Washington to do – provide some sane leadership.

This isn’t just about getting your sorry butts re-elected. It’s about the future of our country and our kids and their kid’s future. Pull your head out!

We keep hearing about the need for compromise. Compromise to the Democrats in Washington is code for give us more money to piss away and they can claim, “Well, the Republicans voted for it to.” It’s always been that way. Why look surprised when it happens every time?

I personally will vote for a principled candidate who perhaps made an unpopular (with the Democrats and morons) vote than some spineless one who tried to hide behind compromise. When you’re right you don’t compromise – you make your case and lead (there’s that term again) the other side and the American people to understand why it’s the right (no pun) thing to do. And if that doesn’t work, you can always follow Nancy Palosi’s lead and claim we have to “pass this bill so we can see what’s in it.” That’s how we got Obama care.
