Why Complete Republican Rule frightens me

It should go without saying that no party or person has all of the answers and in order for anyone to grow and mature as a person, the first thing we must do is be willing to admit when we are wrong and modify our stances to reflect our education on that subject.

What frightens me most about the New Republican Party is that none of them seem to ever wish to admit that they are wrong.  Many those honestly looking at the entire situation is being chased out of the party and those who are never wrong are taking over.  I witnessed this fact last night as I attempted to hear the other side of the Obama Bashing Debate by tuning in to Sean Hannity’s Show on Fox last night.  His guests were Liz Cheney and Lanny Davis.  The topic was exposing the Real Obama.  It was evident how this conversation would go with the first question by Hannity to Cheney and the amount of time he gave her to speak her mind without interruption.  This was not the same respect he showed Lanny Davis who were actually agreeing with them.  Lanny brought up a few points to show that both parties were guilty of the same offenses that was attributed to Obama but was quickly shouted down or dismissed by Hannity.

Just a few minutes ago, on the Thomas Roberts Show on MSNBC, Joe Watkins, A Republican and an aide to George W. Bush was asked what steps the Republicans need to do the close the ever widening gender gap with women.  He mentioned that they had to explain to women how President Obama’s policies are hurting women and children.  What was not asked of Mr. Watkins was how can they do that when these same Republicans support the Paul Ryan’s budget which could gut many programs specifically aimed at women and children?  I did not hear anything from Mr. Watkins about admitting a misstep when pushing these bills but I did hear him say that the Republicans do have some work that needs to be done.  I applaud him for that.

It may be that many who seem to despise this President may do so because of the unemployment numbers being so high in the African-American community.  Maybe this is what they mean when they say “get a job”.  Maybe they see these numbers as people too lazy to work which explains the high number.  Just a thought I could be wrong but looking at what has happened to the State of Michigan with the Republicans being in total charge and the new laws they have passed.  The emergency manager law that has taken over many predominately African-American citizenries does give one pause.  Especially when we have just learned that they possibly did all of this illegally.   This was not what I and others like me fought for and was willing to die for.
