The simple truth is, the federal government - elected, appointed, and hired - is no longer a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people”
As a conservative, I am appalled by the “leadership” of the Republican Party. In spite of a crystal-clear message, sent by voters in the last elections, that only the severely retarded or the willfully blind could miss, they are charging ahead with Business as Usual. For all his tough conservative talk, Sun-tan Boehner might as well be a Democrat when it comes to acting. Socialist Obamacare and the Democrat’s addiction to borrowing and spending have nothing to fear, at least as far as Boehner and the Establishment Republicans in the House are concerned. Only about 50 of ‘em are standing up against raising the debt ceiling, and the rest just bleat a bit for the hometown papers, and then follow along to the slaughter like the good little bought-and-paid-for sheep that they are.
