Thanks, but no thanks… we don’t want your kind of help.
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009My response to Karl Rove’s ridiculous opinion piece in the WSJ about the tea parties:
Mr. Rove,
We are angry at the Republicans as much, if not more, than we are at the Democrats. At least they are doing what they said they would… or at a minimum, what we expected they would. I do not know what makes you think that what you, President Bush, and the rest of his administration (not to mention congress) did over the last eight years was acceptable. The doubling of spending was appalling!!!… and the increasing of deficits irresponsible!! Add to that NCLB and the “Patriot” act and the supposedly republican attack on our liberties was complete.
No sir! I voted Republican until prior to last fall, but could not bring myself to continue along the lines of Einstein’s definition of insanity any longer… “doing the same thing and expecting different results”.. that is exactly what you are trying to sell us on now with this opinion piece.
Obama’s policies are almost indistinguishable from those of Bush. Bolder in scope and faster in adoption, but virtually identical.
