Access To Democracy

     Why is it that all these fiscal conservative voices who oppose any government spending were silent and supportive when W started two wars, never carried them in the budget except as special assessments, and ran up the two trillion dollar debt that Obama inherited?

     Get over it, right wing conservatives…he’s black, he’s President, he’s smarter than you are, and his vocabulary, rather than “Just say No!” is “Yes, we can.”  And despite your bigotry and negativity, he’s actually trying.

     As the Louisiana and southern coastlines endure the B/P disaster, where are those McCain, Palin, Steele, and right wing voices who only a week ago were in the chorus of “Drill, Baby, Drill?”

     For a movement that offers as its mantra “Less Government Intervention” in our lives, where are the voices opposing the new Oklahoma law requiring vaginal exams for women seeking abortions?

     Those “fiscally responsible” conservatives who opposed the stimulus and the TARP bailout — why have they been so quiet as 80% has been repaid already, with interest, and a profit of $22 billion for the government?

     Is there a more pathetic figure than John McCain, who has taken what little credibility he had left, opposed everything he supported, supports everything he opposes, and denies positions which he took in years past, all well recorded, i.e., immigration reform?

     When Phil Gramm and the GOP led the charge to repeal Glass-Steagall and other financial regulatory reforms, how much in campaign contributions did they receive from the industry and its lobbyists?  Multi-millions, and how silent they have been since the bottom fell out because of little or no oversight, which ruptured our financial system and almost caused another Great Depression.  Yeah, tell how how government has no duty to regulate…
