Europe Is Baffled by the U.S. Supreme Court

40. I gave the Reublican party the benefit of the doubt

for too many years. I grew up thinking there were sane among them in the fifties and sixties (except for the "Goldwater Scare," and he looked fine in comparison to today.) Of course, Eisenhower was the first president I was aware of. As the years have passed, we've learned that the Republicans sabotaged LBJ over Viet Nam peace talks, then sabotaged Jimmy Carter over the hostages in Iran. They've made it their mission to sabotage everything President Obama tries to do. They tied up a lot of what the previous Democratic president, Clinton, might have done with nit-picking investigations into anything they could dredge up. I loved how they made an issue of "Whitewater" from years back, then stood by while VP Cheney 's former company Halliburton, made out with no bid contracts in Iraq, while he was in office. No longer the "loyal opposition" the current Republican party lives to obstruct, sabotaging the Democrats being more important than making the government work. Seems to me pretty close to treason.
