Republican "Stand" ?
Boehner and McConnel came before the Media today to essentially announce that ISIS and Putin are Obama's Problem! They left open a possibility that they might fund a "strategy" if the President presents one to their liking tomorrow night. What we have here, folks, is a declaration by the "People's Representatives" that they don't feel any need to respond to the needs, or desires, of the People they Represent! In other words, a Mutiny? They did this in the face of overwhelming public desire for gun control; health care reform; and, so far, immigration reform. Tax reform is needed, but not on the radar of either party in Congress. With Senator Inhofe adding his chorus, the Republican Party, less than 60 days before the Mid-Term Election, seem "disengaged" from any responsibility to help the President, or the people of this country to reach consensus in the face of the most complex problems we've faced from abroad since World War II. The President is being cast adrift, left on his own; to come up with a strategy to meet their "approval". Our System was not designed to work like that! They promise an AUMF (Authorization to Use Military Force) in lieu of their Constitutional Obligation to declare War. This absolves them of any involvement, while allowing them to criticize anything, or everything! Who are the M.F.'s here??
The Founders foresaw the possibility that some Faction might arise with the power to stymie the Congress, but it put in safeguards. The Minority Party can be used in the coming election to remove the mutinous party. The minority party can be made certain to face the same fate if they don't solve the nation's problems within 2 Years!
Stay Vigilant! The People are NOT Helpless, in the face of these tactics.
