(62,325 posts)are supposed to do what is RIGHT. Nancy Pelosi didn't elect them. This nonsense we've been hearing for so long now, that elected officials don''t have to do what is right, they are supposed to the 'pragmatic thing' is pure garbage and we are now seeing the RESULT of it all.
If Democrats had NOT played these games and instead voted for what is beneficial to the PEOPLE, we would not be here right now.
We heard it each time Dems, just enough of them, voted WITH REPUBLICANS during the Bush years, helping those criminals to get some of the WORST LEGISLATION ever passed which we are still dealing with.
AND we were told 'they had to do it, or the Speaker allowed just enough of them to do it' for what???
And those of us who warned that this was WRONG and would have dire consequences, were told 'you don't understand politics'. I'm happy to say that I DON'T. I don't understand these games, and I especially never understood ANY DEMOCRAT EVER voting for any of Bush's vile policies knowing, as they must, or should have, how harmful they were to this and other countries.
How about we start execting our elected officials to do what is right.
Where did all these political games get us??? Right where we are now as predicted.
How about we try something new, like expecting our elected officials to do what is most beneficial to this country because nothing could be more of a failure than what is called 'politics' could it?
