I hate to take the cynical view, but they’ve got plenty of time to work on that.

Not with the ideological trajectory I’m looking at. As soon as congress reconvenes the GOP will be back at “homosexuals and abortions!” That and their usual anti-science bologna. So far the GOP came into the house giving Americans the impression that they will be about jobs or turning the economy around. They’ve offered little to nothing other than the usual drivel about tax cuts and austerity measures.

It’s very tiring though watching American’s flip between Republican and Democrat presidents. Bush is president for 8 years and we end up having the meltdown of 2008 and trillions in debt. No job growth and no wage growth. Americans then say, “I better get those Republicans out of the WH” and then proceed to vote for a Democrat. 4 years later they’re doing the same thing with the Democrat in the WH? What’s the answer then for these Americans? Bringing back another Republican into the WH?

But they’ll be back and the next big fight will likely be over DOMA. The Feds need to get their asses out of the personal life of Americans. The Federal government has no place in defining marriage nor is it called for in the Constitution. If some state wants to make illegal. Fine I guess. We can just laugh at them and avoid doing business with that state. Why are we even having that debate? DOMA should go. Full stop.

And the Democrats need to grow some bigger balls and start playing hardball with the Republicans. Because the Republican Party is playing hardball with them. My advice is to replace Reid and Pelosi. You can barely hear a word coming out of Reid and Pelosi is “meh.” The Democrats need leaders that are ready, willing, and able, to kick some ass. Those two just won’t cut it.
