Republican neocons have already forgotten the American people spoke with their voice and vote when in November rejected conservatives in favor of Barack Obama. Their Republican President is leaving office with 73% of the people rejecting the policies of Mr. Bush.
Now comes Republican Senator David Vitter in a report published by the New Orleans Times Picayune written by Jonathon Tilove of Washington bureau that Vitter has unleashed an onslaught of legislation filing 34 bills and resolutions on the first day the new 111th congress convened.
Some of his filings are: Abortion, public prayer, stem cell research, a constitutional amendment to protect the American flag. As usual these are the divisive issues that divide our country and is typical of Republicans trying to divide the people. A few people burn the flag every few years in protest and for that Vitter thinks the constitution needs to be changed. Our flag has stood the test of time for over 200 years but Vitter is once again showing how phony conservatives are.
The republicans in congress will continue to do their phony thing but can never change the fact that the democrats are the only party who have a record of balancing the federal budget, paying down debt, creating a sound economy and sustained job creation, low unemployment and real tax cuts for the middle class.
The American people showed their wisdom when they voted for Obama in November and sent a loud voice they want change. Senator Vitter's legislation and resolutions represents not only the status quo but a lack of character and wisdom in falling to recognize the real problems the country faces.
