Enough is Enough is Always Enough

Republicans everywhere should quit raising money and spending it on candidates that have almost no chance of winning a general election. Put it in a tax-deferred trust fund or retirement account. Don’t throw it away on candidates that have to fight the Bush/Cheney legacy.

Bush/Cheney and Carl Rove effectively eviscerated the Republican party. They systematically destroyed anyone that did not agree with them.

They have not provided a chain of succession that most administrations do.

Instead, they used a jack-booted thug mentality to kill any opposition, even among their political colleagues.

They ate their own.

Human sacrifice didn’t end with the Inca’s or Aztec’s. It’s alive and well in Washington, DC.

The last several years have made me more jaded than ever about our political leaders.

I don’t like it.

I want a leader I can believe in. One who isn’t unduly influenced by a too-powerful VP. One who has the common sense to lead the free world on his or her own.

W & Company have made that almost impossible for any Republican to accomplish. The ones that didn’t agree with him got destroyed. The ones that did have to explain his ridiculous policies.

So, Republicans everywhere, take advantage of tax laws that allow you to shelter money in tax-deferred accounts. Don’t give it to candidates that have almost no chance of winning.

Invest your money wisely. Take advantage of the time you have before the laws change.

They will. And not in your favor.

“Enough is enough” is always enough. And most of us have had enough. And then some.

Climb down off that high-horse and talk about the things that concern ordinary people: the rising cost and increasing un-availability of health care; the inability of Federal agencies to respond to national emergencies; the precarious military situation that has left our country pretty much unable to respond to a direct attack; the failings of our educational system; the un-Godly high price of higher education, which makes it impossible for many people to get without amassing mountains of debt that will take most of their lives to pay off.

Enough is enough. And I’ve had enough. And them some.

I don’t think I’m alone one this one.
