Dear Editor:
In my opinion, the REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS TWO YEARS TO
LIVE! On the subject of defunding
President Obama’s executive order on
immigration (in his words, “changing the law”),
after he himself stated on twenty-two different occasions, that the
Constitution did not give him that power, the Republicans capitulated…again.
I became involved in politics because of the bold Contract
with America presented by the Republicans in 1994. Since that time, the Republicans have done
little to advance the Conservative Cause.
In 1998 (just five years after their “revolution”) they
produced an Omnibus Spending Bill filled with pork. The Bush administration doubled our national
debt to 10 trillion dollars, in 2010 they promised to cut $100 billion out of
the budget but didn’t, they claimed they wanted to repeal Obamacare but can’t
even cut its funding, which is well within their ability and last year, the
Republicans in Congress (with the help of eager Democrats) produced a pork
filled Cromnibus Bill. And just now,
broke their promise to defund, what THEY said, was President Obamas’ illegal executive
order.
The Republicans in Washington have become a joke. The Democrats use them as punching bags and
outsmart them at every turn. Observing
them is like watching your favorite professional football team fumble the ball
EVERY time they get it. After a while
you are compelled by frustration, to jump up and shout; “for Heavens’ sakes,
hold on to the ball, I can do better than that!” The fact is, the Republican Leaders are
President Obama’s greatest assets, in that, they have done more to demoralize
the grassroots than anything Obama, or his ENTIRE campaign team has done.
Conservative Republicans back home are getting, tired, angry
and frustrated with the broken promises and cowardice of Washington
Republicans. This is like Lucy and the
football, over and over again. After a
while, you begin
to feel a little foolish rooting and voting for, what is
generally
considered the “Stupid Party.” And if the Republicans don’t do something bold
in the next two years and continue to be “too stupid to explain their positions
and too cowardly to defend them” I believe in 2016, twenty million people are
going to give up on them and join the four million who gave up on them in 2012
and did not bother to vote.

I am a conservative and an environmentalist. Conservative in that I conserve resources. Statistics tell me that republicans drive bigger vehicles, live in bigger houses, use more energy, waste more, deny climate problems, etc. My question is "in what year did the republican party steal the word conservative and twist it's meaning?" Their motto should be "I, me, mine, because that is their definition of the word. I have it now, it is irrelevant how I got it, it is mine now and I will use it for me in anyway I want and I don't want anyone questioning me about it.
