Can't Keep Quiet

I am searching for the strongest way to say this, the most accurate way to describe what republicans are made of and what they are doing to this country.

Shutting down the government to make a point is juvenile, it is harmful, it is callous with regards to us 99% - ers who are just trying to survive.

republicans are not doing anything worthwhile, they are not employing a respectable tactic. They are being vengeful, petty, short sighted and ignorant.

Which is exactly what this party stands for now. It is supremely pathetic.

As usual with something of this magnitude, you cannot find the truth. Some say it is crippling, some say it is no big deal. It happened in 1995 and the country did not collapse.

I don't know enough to offer an informed opinion. But my gut tells me that shutting down the government is probably not good for the economy. Especially considering the fragile nature of the recovery.

Despite the lies republicans have been repeating, the economy has been recovering. Slowly. I see no evidence of it but much of what I have read details positive signs of economic rebound. Taking a chance on reversing that considering the fact that the economy almost imploded a few years ago during the bank meltdown, is horrifyingly stupid. And reckless.

republicans shut down the government and then stand in front of WWII war memorials claiming that it is President Obama's fault the vets cannot access the memorial, and that the republicans are going to fund security details so the vets will be able to visit the memorial.

This is so immoral, so disgusting, to be playing on the emotions of war vets. Playing on the fact that most Americans hold respect for the military as sacred.

republicans are lying about the situation, misrepresenting the facts and then pretending that when they go to bed at night the only thing on their minds are war veterans.

Despicable.

Eric Cantor said "Let President Obama tell the parents of a child with cancer that they cannot get treatment for that child." republicans are saying that because of the shutdown cancer research cannot be conducted. Saying the Prez is responsible. Painting a picture that republicans will come to the rescue, that they are heart broken at the fate of children with cancer.

republicans are choosing intensely emotional points to whip people into a frenzy. Using war vets and terminally ill children as pawns in a political game.

These republicans deserve to rot in hell for what they are doing.

They do not deny that the shutdown is a ploy to repeal or delay The Affordable Care Act. What they are doing is so out of balance with what they want to accomplish that is indefensible.

Jimmy Kimmel went to the streets to ask people whether they prefer Obamacare or The Affordable Care Act. A hell of a lot of people said they preferred The Affordable Care Act. Despite the fact that Obamacare is the insulting nickname given to the ACA by republicans.

In other words they are the same thing.

If you connect President Obama's name to it, people will hate it. If you connect President Obama's name to disrespecting war vets, people will hate him. If you connect President Obama's name to dying children, people will hate him.

Because he is black.

This is the very dangerous game republicans are playing.

I am trying real hard to express my contempt for these scum and I just can't come up with the words.

The fact that millions of people identify with what republicans are doing is one more thing to prove how immoral, how unintelligent, how vicious this country has become.
