United For What?

Just when I think I have gotten as angry as I am gonna get at politics, we reach new heights.
The Republicans are all excited that they united in their vote against Obama's stimulus package. Granted, it did them no good, but still, they feel he didn't provide enough tax cuts, and they feel that by showing a united front, the American Public will see that they are not going to allow extravagant spending.
That might seem well and noble, if we hadn't just gone through the last 8 years watching the Republican Party basically hand FORMER (hooray!!!) President Bush a blank check to spend how he wanted. Which I will add that the last 8 years I have watched my tax dollars go overseas to a country that isn't sure they even want us there.
I agree, Obama is spending a lot. But the guy as A LOT to fix and what is the difference between a lot of money overseas, or a lot of money spent domestically? Oh right, if the money is spent here in the USA I might see a benefit from it.
I thought the Republican party was out of touch when they announced the Sarah Palin was their future. Now they just seem like a footnote in history. If they didn't have a few women in their ranks, I would call them a bunch of out-of-touch, old farts. Oh wait, women do fart too. The Republican party is just a bunch of ancient farts.

here here! I mean, GET ON THE BANDWAGON PEOPLE!!! Why they can't get their heads out of their asses and say, "Let's not be the bad guys here..." I don't know why...Obama DOES have a lot to fix, and if they took a clue from how our country organized themselves and ran business when we were forming these United STates, they would see that Obama has it RIGHT, we DO need to get it together, and work together...basically UNITE OR DIE. Alright, that was my soapbox for today...
