I was a Republican for most of my 51 years. But this is not my father’s Republican Party. It has mutated into 1) Old guard elites that have corporations and lobbyists as their constituency and 2) Tea Party Republicans whose platform is reactionary, ill-informed and misguided.

If there is one single vision that can bring our country back on track it is this: Our leaders must recognize that the only constituency that matters is the Middle Class. The country that fosters the biggest, healthiest and most prosperous Middle Class take all the chips. That mean Jobs, education and incentives for small business. The corporate titans have out-grown the middle class and over-relied on globalism. Let them move their HQ to Beijing and see how that works for them.

Until we get serious about restoring the health of the middle class we are screwed by demographics.

Our current politicians are among the most cowardly and misdirected in US history…Republicans first, followed closely by Democrats.

As scary as these ReTHUG-lic-CLOWNS are, what is even more scary is that enough folks bought into their craziness to vote them into office!

The DOJ should begin to research and come up with cha rges against the GOPers that will stick Everyone of these PIRATES are on a ship of fools. Every one of their constituents will feel the effects of their treacherous acts. Holding up on the farm bill will deny children the milk, they need for growth. How many ,other than the 1, %will be able to afford $7.00 or more for a gallon of milk.Why are we, hard working AMERICANS, subjected to the discrimination for being middle class? My current Congressman is a Democrat, but on 1/1/13 we’ll have a damned Republican due to redistricting….

These guys have loudly proclaimed their hatred for our government and their desire to destroy its economy … why aren’t we declaring THEM “enemies of the state” and investigating them or even prosecuting them for conspiracy, along with Norquist?

The policy of trickle down, introduced by Reagan and pursued by the New Right over the past thirty years is the idea the many should live off the table scraps of the few, nothing less, nothing more. Inequality is and always has been the gravest threat to the American experiment, the existence of a robust middle class, and upward mobility available to all.
