With the likes of McConnell and Boehner leading the Republican charge for indiscriminate cuts to middle class families and seniors\u2019 healthcare, food stamps, unemployment benefits, Social Security and anything else that would even be considered just enough to get by, I daresay one would have to be absolutely nuts to vote Republican. On the other hand, the Democrats\u2019 wishy-washy leadership no thanks to Obama and Reid is equally dangerous to the average American. Until both parties sit down and get to work so that they are both on the same page, this nation will continue down the road to ruin.<\/p>\n
Our very way of life is threatened because of \u201cone size fits all\u201d legislating by the Republicans and \u201ctax, tax, tax and spend\u201d ideological thinking by the Democrats. These are indeed troubling times and it will take some sort of miracle to get both sides to admit their unyielding stance is hazardous to America\u2019s wellbeing. Didn\u2019t we elect these people to represent us and do what is best for us? As far as I can see, they\u2019ve done what is not best for us.<\/p>\n
