Senator Vitter signed onto a letter that threatens to shut down the federal government unless Congress votes to defund the Affordable Helth Care Act (AHCA) that was passed by Congress and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Ditto head Vitter joins 11 other republicans who signed onto the letter that was sent to democratic senator Harry Reid, the majority leader in the U.S. Senate.
Republican senator Tom Coburn said Vitter and others failed to realize the GOP lost the 2012 election to President Obama and that the people do not want the federal government to be shut down. Republican senator Bob Corker said it was a silly idea and that those who signed the letter do not have the courage to participate in the debate on the issues facing the country. At least Coburn and Corker refused to be ditto heads for the republican party on this issue and that is to their credit.
Crybaby and ditto head Vitter is a good example of a Louisiana elected official who not only has no original thought and political courage he is willing to allow himself to be motivated by a conservative ideology that continues to be unAmerican in nature. The conservative approach to governing is that the republicans can pass any legislation they want too and then deny the same legislation ability to the democrats. Conservatives think of themselves as elite and that is why during election campaigns they can not tell the public what they stand for and instead run campaigns of personal attacks.
The AHCA is working and it is really a disgrace that Vitter and his stupit party opposes the President's every move that has brought the country back from the second great republican depression of 2008. Vitter and his ditto head buddies have nothing to offer the American people that moves the country forward and the President needs to slap their little boy faces. Democratic administrations have the best record of balancing the federal budget, creating a lasting economy, job creation, smaller increases in federal spending, better living conditions and increased income for the middle class and a host of other advances in the past 52 plus years.
Medicare, medicaid and social security are democratic programs that work and the AHCA is working for the benefit of the country and its people. That is really what is behind the opposition of Vitter and the republican party. The party that cries the loudest is the party of no record of accomplishments. It is a mirror image of Fox News who feel they have to repeat over and over they are fair and balanced when they know they are not. And that really says it all.
