After the health care reform vote, Sarah Palin told supporters, "Don't Retreat—Reload," and then targeted the members of Congress she considered to be politically vulnerable.
Palin is the worst kind of paper tiger – she has never served her country in battle, yet she’s the first to call for violence. This is a woman who shoots animals from a helicopter, in order to eliminate risk to herself, and she has the gall to call it sport hunting. She minimizes the effects of her actions on others and dismisses the consequences of her ill-considered comments.
Now Republican Party leaders are encouraging bigotry, racism, and violence against members of Congress who voted in favor of the health reform bill. These are NOT isolated incidents; this behavior is being deliberately incited.
Remember when Republicans lost the election? Instead of congratulating the new president, they accused him of not being a US citizen. Do you really think that would have happened if he hadn’t been black? Of course not.
The Republican Party claims it protects the rights of individuals; in fact, it protects the interests of big corporations and big money at the expense of individuals and small business. And although it’s true that Democrats do tax and spend, it’s also true that Republicans borrow and spend. The spending continues, it just goes to other things. Republicans may roll back our taxes a little, but our deficit goes up a lot.
It's time for people to stop listening to the baloney and start looking at what our representatives are actually DOING. Today a Republican moved to block benefits to the jobless. Does that sound like he's interested in the people? No, he's representing big business. How can we convince the people in this country to wake up, stop watching Fox News, and find the facts for themselves?
Okay, I'm through ranting now. Thanks.
