Cassi Creek: The
Congress has had 1.5 years to deal with the current budget problem and has
continually failed to take any action that might have averted the situation we
now must deal with.
The Democrats
have finally found some semblance of a vertebral column, unfortunately, too
late to make it effective. The GOP has
spent the last 18 months ignoring the middle class, the working poor, the
unemployed, and any other citizens who don’t match their spurious image of a
nation that has actually never existed beyond the pages of antebellum
novels.
The GOP, seeking
votes and a broader base that is practiced at magical thinking, climbed into
bed with the various tea party and teavangelist factions. The result has been a party as deadly and as
unconcerned for humankind as Stalin’s Communist Party.
Realizing
that the lost presidential election foreshadows a declining party, the GOP/teavangelists
have concluded that they might as well sink the country by destroying its
economy rather than to behave as civilized citizens who can place nation before
party and private bank accounts.
The
Speakership of John Boehner has been a circus of non-activity since he picked
up the gavel. When he has made an
attempt to cooperate with the Democrats in order to accomplish the nation’s
business, he has been blocked and hobbled by his own party.
I firmly
believe that at the heart of much of Boehner’s current inability to accomplish
anything is little Eric Cantor. It is
apparent that Cantor has decided that he wants to be Speaker of the House. He is a ruthless, self-absorbed man
demonstrating his grasp of many of the worst characteristics of
politicians. Look for him to delay any
further action by the House, for any purpose, until Cantor can arrange his
ascent to Boehner’s current position.
You should
have no difficulty linking Cantor to a South Park character. The image is amazingly accurate.
