Is there really a difference?

Is there really a difference between the democratic party and the republican party anymore? It gets harder to tell every day. The GOP seems to move closer to the left of just folds under democrats criticism a little more each day.

The other senator from Arizona, Jon Kyl, was on face the nation the other day talking about obuma's latest pick for the Supreme Court of the US, Elena Kagan. During this interview he showed that he really had very little information on her background and core far left liberal beliefs. As usual he came off to me a an unknowing politician from washington dc. He ended the interview by stating that a filibuster was off the table. Folks we can now concede that this nominee will get voted in as the most powerful way of stopping her has been withdrawn. All the democrats had to do during the Bush years was say that they were filibustering something and it was all over. It didn't matter if it was a bill or a judicial nomination being considered it was gone. You would think that by now the republicans in congress would show a little spine but you would be mistaken.

Here in Texas the Trans Texas Corridor has been resurrected from the dead again. Governor Rick Perry has said that he will wait and see if its going to be funded by the federal government. If it is then he will have to ok it as it's mandated to spend the funds by law. SO he really doesn't want to do this but if the feds say he must he will. Where have I recently been hearing something similar to this? It had to do with something about a threat to one of our inalienable rights. I remember now! Obuma stated that he wasn't going to overturn the second amendment and take our guns away. Instead the UN is going to do that! Billary just signed the treaty on small arms and now it goes senate for their required advise and consent. Since the treaty bans civilian small arms the government will be required to confiscate them, all in the name of UN compliance, not US law or obuma's desire to ban guns in the hands of citizens. Based on the republicans history do you really think that they will stand up for this fight?

The senate has been working on a new bill for regulating wall street. Harry Reid attempted a vote to close debate and it was voted down. After the usual back room, behind the scenes arm twisting it was brought to a vote again and this time it passed without any new amendments. How was this done you might ask? Scott Brown, (R-Mass) changed his vote. I'm sure we will soon learn just what his quid pro quo was.

Then there is the Arizona law on illegal immigration. A few, no maybe a couple, ok one republican grilled Attorney General Holder on the threat that he made of taking Arizona to court over this bill. When asked Holder stated that he had not read the 18 page bill, so he wasn't sure what was in it. First of all why is reading a bill relevant? That is just not the way things are done in washington dc, but I digress. Has the GOP called for his firing? I think not. Will they? I think not.

If after all the outrage against incumbents and this leap off the cliff into socialism I can only conclude that the GOP is for it in the long run or they would at least try to put a stop to it. Folks, they are not even trying to fake it any more. I'm not even going to call them the lesser of two evils anymore.

Voting for either party based on what party they are is just voting for evil. Both parties just want the power over every aspect of our daily lives and will say and do whatever they must to accomplish these ends. One party is just trying to do it faster than the other party. As a Friend of mine puts it on his blog,'The Only Way To Deal With An Unfree World Is To Become So Absolutely Free That Your Very Existence Is An Act Of Rebellion!'. I will only vote for and support politicians that support my core beliefs. Those are God, A strong FREE and safe America, and liberty and the rights of its citizens to be free of government nanny state intrusion. I WILL hold any and all politicians feet to the fire for violating my beliefs and my God given inalienable right.
