You have to hand it to Arizona Senator Jon Kyl, he is a man of guts, and no integrity. He is a Neocon charlatan, and smirks for his repulsive behavior. Oh yes, he is a hypocrite.
It seems that three (3) days after the Senate voted to ban Earmarks, Senator Kyl was capable of getting $200, 000,000 dollars (Two hundred million) for his pet Arizona project. In doing so, Senator Kyl told America, he was beyond the Earmark ban. He is just another Neocon saying "Screw you" to the American taxpayers.
Incidentally, it does not matter what the money was for, it is the principle that matters: that we have the Number two Republican acting like a charlatan and having his own willful rogue way.
So, why doesn't Senator John McCain flap his fat lips. Probably because he is a rogue too. Forget that maverick shit!

Hypocrisy: GOP Style.
The GOP wants the Obama Administration to extend the Bush Tax cuts indefinitely for their business friends with deep pockets. They do this while crying, "We cannot afford to spend more money, government is spending way too much money now. We have to lower the deficit."
If Congress does extend the Bush Tax cuts, then the Obama Administration will have to go hand in mouth to China to borrow another 600 billion dollars to pay for the Bush Tax cuts for the wealthy. The Republican's offer no plans to pay for them. And, it increases the deficit subtaintually, almost doubling it's present size.
However, if the Bush Tax cuts are allowed to expire, or Obama vetos them, we save enough funds to almnost but not quite enough to eliminate the deficit.
Now get this America, the GOP is willing to increase, almost doubling the deficit, however, they will not extend the unemployment for three month because it will cost too much, and run up the deficit.The Republicans again are showing they do not give a shit about America's working class, and are steadily pushing it into the ranks of the poor.
Anyone out there seeing a GOP hypocrisy here?

Rand Paul: Political Jekyll and Hyde.
While Rand Paul was running for the Senate, he promised not to take earmarks, but to work on banning them. But, now that he has been elected to the Senate, he flip/flops and agrees not to ban them, but to fight for them.
Come on Rand, this crap has a stink to it, your word isn't for shit. Just another lying Republican trying to get elected to the Senate. Well, I suspect he will shortly run lock-step with the Republicans when they start waving their leadership on juicy committees. What lies will he tell the Tea Party folks back on the farm who voted for him?

Democrats: Repeal DADT, It's Un-American and Stupid.
Ok Democrats, it's time to 'strap on your balls' and stand for something vital to this nation. Repeal DADT! It's time is over. It was a damn un-American law to begin with, the idea of practically asking people to testify against themselves based on their lifestyle. A person should have the right to live in their own lifestyle. DADT eliminates that right to service people. We have got to stop being so damn homophobic. It is insulting.
I was in the Korean War, and I didn't give a crap if the guy in the bunker with me was gay or not. As long as he had courage, and could fire his gun when needed, that's all I cared about. Or, when the nurse taking care me in the hospital after I was wounded, as long as her hands were taking care of me, changing my bandages, I didn't care who they caressed.
Most of the troops in a war zone feel the same way. So Democratic boys and girls in congress, be brave once, have some balls, or strap some on, and do the right thing for our warriors, they are doing the right thing for you. Repeal DADT!

"No Compromise!" Says the Republican Party of 'No.'
So What Is New?
It is an old story heard repeatedly to prevent legislative bills from being passed. So what the hell is new here!
Ideology Dysfunction.
The Neocon Republicans have forced the GOP legislators into a lockstep 'no vote for the last two years. Any one differing can expect a severe reprimand by the GOP hierarchy. Can we expect anything less from them on the issues of debt, spending, and judicious governance. We will get convoluted logic, lies and worthless promises. What can we expect is our nation caught in ideology dysfunction, and polarized thinking. In addition, we, the American people the the royal screwing.
Myopic Vision.
While the Neocon Republicans with their myopic vision are holding the GOP hostage as a functional arm of government, Eric Cantor and John Boehner said as reported in Huffington Reports favors extending the Bush tax cuts indefinitly No compromise there. The Neocon Republicans know they cannot have their way with Obama in office. So Mitch McConnell has made getting the Democratic Obama Administration out of office his priority. With so much to be done to move the nation forward, it is disrespectful myopic vision that tells people they have nothing coming from the Republican Party.
Step Up and Be Counted.
There may be some newly elected Republicans that don't want to use their office as a political vendetta, and want to put America first by trying to build a sensible consensus. If anything is to be done they will have to act quickly, defy the Neocons, and incur their threats and wrath. They should 'step up and be counted' for their nation needs them, before gridlock sets in.

Democrats: You Missed A Golden Opportunity.
With the country having high unemployment and out of work, but still a viable work force ready and able to to work, the Democrats missed a golden opportunity to put America back to work andcleaqn up the nation's outdated, decaying, and rusting infrastructure. It was an opportunity begging to happen...and fell with a thud to the political wayside by Democrats without vision. We did it in the 1930's with the WPA and CCC.
Can this opportunity to restructure our roads, highways and bridges be regained? Who among the Democrats raised a voice to become stewards of this nation's treasures like our National Parks?
The jobs we lost to foreign nations by American businesses seeking the almighty profit will not be coming back soon, if ever. So why not take advantage of the American work force who wants to work, and let them clean up a decaying America. Don't we deserve it.

Democrats Cut Their Own Throats!
The Democrats were brought into power with Obama's promise for change in the country. They were afforded a perfect time for two years to get something done for the people of America. It is unfortunate they could not govern, and they did not know how to govern. Most importantly, the Democrats in Congress did not know how to come together to work within the party to gain ideologly goals. Most of them acted as if they did not know the Democratic ideology.
They deserved the beating they took, and work hard (doing little) to get the beating! They let President Obama down time after time, and let the Neocons define who they were supposed to be. They were fortunate to have saved their majority in the Senate.
They squabbled, fought and often bucking their own party and the President. They were not aggressive but self-protective, individuals, they were not a coheisive group, but timid individuals fighting for personal recognition. It was a pathetic bunch of elected people. They did not think in terms of real compromise, but capitulation to Neocon Republican' who voted 'no' en masse at legislation attempts.
By their actions, they simply stepped forward and handed the Republicans the sharpe knife to cut their throats. And, elected to office the same people who brought us the 'Great Recession.' How stupid can we get!!!
