The Republican Party is now one of Intimidation

In the past we, as a Nation, we went along with the laws that were passed. Even if we didn't like the laws, we dealt with them the best we could and hoped they might get changed in the future. After all, most laws passed by the House and Senate and compromise bills anyway. I don't remember ever that one party got everything they wanted in a bill.

Now, the minority party, wants rebellion and revolution over the passage of the Health Care Reform bill. They have advocated throwing bricks through the windows of law makers that had voted to pass the bill. Glenn Beck suggested today that picking up a gun might be a good idea. Glenn didn't explain what he would do with that gun, but you can use your imagination on that. Sarah Palin said that instead of repealing it, now might be a good time to "Reload." Again, she didn't elaborate but her plan is on her website with a map on which there are "Cross Hairs" on the states where she was "Targeting" members of Congress who voted for the Health Care Reform Bill.

Republicans have gone from the Party of NO to the Party of LIES and now to the Party of INTIMIDATION.

On their way back to the house on Monday, various groups of Democrats were spat on and called names and threatened with harm . . . these were Congressmen/women. And, all along, from a balcony above were Republican Congressmen/women getting the crowd inflamed with words of hate.

Michael Steele today stated that the Republicans were getting Nancy Pelosi ready for the "Firing Line." One Republican leader stated today that if you are represented by a Liberal Congressman you should go look him in the face because someday you may need to blow it off.

One Republican leader stated that all this intimidation is just "Isolated Incidents." Hell, that is all WAR is . . . just a bunch of little "Isolated Incidents" that gets people killed and things blown up.

The Republicans are becoming scary. Now fully understand that to me they have always been a bit on the frightening side, but now they have far exceeded that and maybe "Scary" isn't the word. OK, let's face it, the Republican Party of today is outright horrifying. And there are people out there that are attracted to that. Sane is not one of the words that come to mind when talking about these people.

Chuck Grassley of Iowa lied about the Health Care Bill many times saying that it had "Death Panels" that if you are too old you couldn't get any health care in England. Grassley voted totally against the Health Care Bill. Today he took credit in his state for getting it passed and getting various amendments into it.

In Congress today, all committee meetings were halted because the Republicans withdrew unanimous consent for the committees to meet. The Republicans are doing anything they can to intimidate and stall all proceedings in Congress.

Payday will be in November . . . I'm now wondering who it will be that pays the highest price. Will it be progress or intimidation that pays the price for what they do?
