When I registered to vote, I registered as an independent. I think that this was largely because my parents were independent. Looking back on it, I consider myself a liberal republican. For most of my adult life, I have considered myself an utterly non-partisan independent.
This has changed.
With the blockage of the health care bill for 9/11 first providers, the republicans have gone from being a good party to being a bought-and-paid for party to being an EVIL party.
They blocked this health care bill simply to muscle through the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
Even if they pass this when they come back into session, it will be too late. People will suffer because of their blockage of this bill. People will crumble financially because of their blockage of this bill. People will DIE because of their blockage of this bill.
I will never again support the republican party or a republican candidate until I start hearing some sincere repentance for this, and I urge all of my brothers and sisters of conscience to do the same.
The republican party should be ashamed of itself. Republican politicians should be ashamed of themselves for associating with this diseased party. Anyone who voted republican in the last election should be ashamed of themselves for voting for this diseased party.
I usually end these things with "peace", but I… I just CAN'T this time. Republican candidates have been using 9/11 to scare people into voting for them since 2002… George W. Bush even used images from the 9/11 attacks in his 2004 reelection ads. This is pathetic enough. But now that they had the opportunity to do something positive for 9/11, they refused so that they could enrich themselves and their rich rat-bastard friends.
It's time to kill the American republican party until it gets it's head out of Phil Knight's ass.

I often wonder about 'single-issue' voters in the case of 9-11 associated events, which I think include the health and welfare of the first responders. With all the jiogistic speech about the American War effort and taking care of the people who risk it all for their country, you would think there would be a huge uproar on taking care of the first responders.
But instead through demagougery and false associations, people are compelled to vote against their beliefs and even their own self interest. I mean they would curb domestic spending on successful programs that they themselves benefit from... all because they believe what is good for a few is good for all.
The rich play upon petty feelings that the majority of Americans barely understand themselves.
The GOP has made clear where their alligance lies and who it is that they look out for. It simply amazes me who crass and how easy it is to manipulate and play on the lower emotions of people.
