More Executive Orders on the Way: Republicans Take Control of the Senate
The American people showed their discontent at the polls yesterday by voting for the Republicans to take control of the Senate. They GOP have also strengthened their hold on the House of Representatives and from January will be in control of both chambers of Congress for the first time since 2006.
Obama now has two choices during the final two years of his leadership:
- Issue Executive orders that require no approval from Congress.
- Seek bipartisan support for his plans.
Many people have no doubt of which choice he will make.
What you have to ask yourself is will it make a difference? The vast majority of those that seek to rule us are from white collar backgrounds and most of them worked in for-profit organizations prior to going into politics. Over half of these people are millionaires. (source)
We are deluded if we think that these men and women will not vote with their/their cronies business interests in mind and therein lies the problem. The gap between rich and poor, the haves and have-nots widens year on year. The rich get richer and the rest of us get squeezed more and more.
To hope that because the Republicans now control both chambers of Congress this will change is foolhardy. It won’t.
The world over the views and visions of politicians is at odds with the views and visions of the people they preside over. Looking at it logically it’s impossible for it to be any other way. Someone who has grown up with all the privileges of life, someone who has mingled with the ‘right’ people and attended the top schools cannot understand growing up on the other side of the tracks.
Someone who has the money to enter the merry-go-round of political life will have views and attitudes that reflect their background. As would we all. We are all the product of what has gone on in our lives, and politicians are no different.
They cannot possibly comprehend how it feels to struggle to keep the roof over your families head. They have no concept of having to manage with what they have.
They have never known the pressure of job loss, hunger, poverty, foreclosure or homelessness. They have no experience of the real lives that the majority of the electorate lead. In short they are not qualified for the positions they hold.
If you need an operation you wouldn’t go to a car mechanic would you? No, you would find someone qualified to do the operation. This is what is lacking in the political system of not only the United States but of the political systems around the world.
There are no simple answers, but clearly, as long as it takes millions of dollars to run a campaign fund there is no chance of getting more balance on Capitol Hill. The common man is not under-represented, he is not represented at all and that’s not something that is going to change anytime soon.

If past track record is any indicator, both of the options mentioned above will probably come into play.
Mr. Obama will issue more illegal executive orders, and the Republicans will talk a big game about opposing him, but give him all the help that they can so as to not be called names in the national media.
No one can abandon their base and cave in to the opposition quite as quickly and thoroughly as the Republicans.
Democrats openly express their hatred for this Republic, along with their intention to destroy everything that once made it great.
Republicans claim to cherish this Republic, and attempt to conceal their complete unwillingness to do anything that can save or restore it.
Maybe things have changed, maybe this time the Republicans will uphold their oats of office, maybe this time they will do more than talk.
I am not going to hold my breath while waiting.
Right and left paradigm… they got us coming and going…. I say arrest all 545 right now, period…. /alternative/2014/08/america-is-under-attack-and-the-american-people-know-it-too-3015792.html …. not a damn thing has changed, you got the very same NDAA punks right back in there again and again and again and it’s never going to stop…. until either were dead or they’re arrested.
Someone else that thinks the Republicans are going to save us.
