Republicans are real good at pointing fingers at others, even blaming others for events of their own making. This has to stop because the time for voting is nearly upon us and for we Americans to make decisions about our future, we must know how we have gotten to our present. A clear record of who is doing what can be found in the public record of recorded votes on policies. Never has it been so clear how Republicans vote. Since President Obama has been elected, Republicans have not even tried to hide their utter contempt for him by voting on bloc against most every policy he has proposed. The problem with that is most of those policies Republicans keep successfully voting to either block or defeat are policies the majority of Americans are clamoring for. So publishing a record of the Republican obstruction to President Obama's agenda of helping the working/middle/poor class is simple enough to do. There isn't much of an argument that needs to be made to illustrate how harmful the Republican's in Congress, the House and Senate, have been on regular folks. It is easy enough to understand since Republicans have thrown off the guise of acting like they care about the working/middle/poor class and have instead employed a strategy of vilifying us as the problem instead of their own lack of care for us. Fine, that is a political strategy to try and Republicans are trying like all get out to make it work for them. Hoping that we won't remember all the legislation aimed at our relief they have quashed. Well, I don't see how we can forget when it hurts us mightily. We also have social media to help us along in our remembering. So the question now becomes what are we going to do given the chance to vote this coming November? Shall we make Republicans pay for not representing us or shall we continue to allow them to get away with keeping their boots on our necks?
