Yup, we now have a new government within a government, it's called the Republican party. Or the Grand Old Partiers! The GOP that brought you 3.6 million lost jobs, 24- count 'em 24 ARMY suicides in January & OVER 10.2 TRILLION in national debt have now set up their OWN government. Watch as they deftly refuse every single bill before the House and Senate, creating a completely new government based on personal greed and irresponsibility with YOUR money.
And lots of your money too, when one particular insurance company, too big to fail by the way, had $14.8 Billion in toxic assets the Reps. gave them just over $40.0 Billion. Hey, we just want to make sure while American workers & their families are standing in soup lines and unemployment office lines that stretch around the block, that their personal friends don't have to turn down the thermostat. Their rich, fat, Republican criminal friends have to keep up appearances now don't they. After all, the world is going to end in December of 2012 any way. Bush the decider will shield them all from that bad old comet thingy out there in space. No problems that those Republicans can't solve with all these hundreds of billions they got last Fall.
Don't think they care? WHO CARES!!!
But, it isn't the first time they have split off and done their own thing, look at the Iran Contra scandal of the late eighties. Remember Colonel Oliver North? The guy set up as a skape-goat to take all of President Reagan's heat for allowing his little generals and his CIA, (led by then Director of the CIA later to be Vise President then President George Hyram Walker Bush), sell rockets and shoulder fired missiles to the Iranians. Later those same missiles were used to kill American NAVY sailors and innocent civilians on crowded airliners. AND, don't forget those lovely color photos of Dick Cheney shaking hands with and KISSING Saddam Hussein in Baghdad...
But, don't forget the Watergate Scandal. Now there was a real lively GO Party, office break-ins engineered by CIA operatives and financed by the Republican National Committee itself. Traced right back to the Republican controlled White House run by none other that Tricky Dick himself... Wait a minute here, Tricky Dick Nixon, Tricky Dick Cheney. It might just be time to start answering your cell phones with, " Fuck Hoover," all over again.
Those Republicans are at it again, separating and dividing and disagreeing with every attempt to repair the damage that THEY have created or allowed. DO some research for yourself. Google search, read Wiki on any one of these stellar events, and while your at it, get ready to keep paying for it, just because they got SPANKED last November doesn't mean they're ready to be good little soldiers and sit down and behave. No way man, 'cause it ain't over yet baby! They might set another record for filibustering this year like they have the last two years running, or maybe, just maybe they'll introduce their OWN plan for saving Americas economy and ... wait, they just did.
They're their own Grand Old Party, as long as YOU and I pay for it!

The Last EIght Years in Eight Minutes
EIGHT YEARS IN EIGHT MINUTES
Did he do a good job? Did he make things better or worse? How was your life in 1999 compared to your life in 2009? Sure, things changed, everything changed, the world changed... things always change. I hear all the blahgging about Obama being the antichrist, but how well did your man, Gee Dub, do? Really? Overall?
We weren't attacked by terrorists on American soil over the last eight years, if you don’t count those Anthrax letters from December of 2001. But, there were attacks elsewhere by militant Islamists. England, Spain, Africa, India... Do you really feel safer having nearly a decade of this War on Terror?
As for the War on Terror, that’s silly. How do you wage a war against a tool used by the ideologues of hate? That is just as ridiculous as LBJ's War on Poverty, neither worked, nor could they have! It is just too broad a term, too loosely defined, too hard to pin down. And our actions in this W.O.T.? What are we Rambo? "To survive a war, you must become war." (Rambo II) So, to survive terrorism, we ourselves must become terrorists? We lost our position as moral authorities when we ourselves became proponents of terror and violence abroad; see water-boarding & Abu Graib.
Bush on the Economy? Sure, it isn't all his fault, most of the policies and pervasive group-think of de-regulation in D.C. had been around since the early eighties. But he was at the helm of the ship of state. The Buck Stops Here... remember that one? He allowed ineptitude, nepotism and greed to further bankrupt America. His tax cuts removed $300 billion in tax revenue away from public needs annually. Iraq and Afghanistan have cost about $700 billion. Well, there's that trillion dollar package Obama is pushing for right now!
Veterans' Affairs? The American Journal of Public Health found that in 2004 nearly 1.8 million veterans were uninsured and unable to get care in veterans' facilities. An additional 3.8 million members of their households were also uninsured and ineligible for VA care. Since then... don't know, no new studies have been done.
The Patriot Act? Good god! Habeas Corpus is one of the safeguards guaranteed in the Constitution. The Constitution, “that little piece of paper,” is sacrosanct!
No Child Left Behind? Well, that proved to be the near inverse corollary... No Child Moved Ahead. Ask the teachers around here if they think it was a help or a hindrance. The Pell grants that so many relied on for secondary education were shifted from public institutions to mainly private (and Christian) ones.
New Orleans? Bush FEMA buddy "Brownie" really screwed the pooch on that one. “Over 30,000 were rescued by helicopter,” over 100,000 were left homeless. Most still are! over three and a half years later.
Most Republicans are beginning to throw stones at a guy who’s been on the job less than a week, (and already accomplished more than you or I will in our lifetimes), then they should be prepared to defend the man that got us here. Here: broke, divided, and distanced from the world. And stop asking how Obama is going to unify this country, it ain't his job... it's ours. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
I'll give Bush credit where credit is due. Peace talks in Northern Ireland and unprecedented funding to fight AIDS in Africa. Other'n that, he’s done dude.
