That's what they SAY - but talk is cheap. John Roberts - a REPUBLICAN appointee - did the unthinkable when he UPHELD Obamacare in the SCOTUS. He bears as much blame for that fiasco as the democrats. Bush II and the republican Congress increased spending and created boondoggles like The Patriot Act and No Child Left Behind. Finally, I contend the republicans are as in favor of illegals coming into the country as democrats - just for different reasons. (Dems - votes; Reps - cheap labor). Which just shows how fatally STUPID the republicans are, because the seeds of their demise are IN those illegal immigration numbers. 23 minutes ago, Anonymous Aristotle said: I do know what you mean about the party though. I think the fracture that made the party members in the Halls of power appear to bleed one across the aisle of the other was during the Bush43 term. Bush Jr. ran as a Republican but after 9-11-2001 assumed the legislative profile of a strong Democrat. After that the party pretty much left its anchor. I think that is why I do vote today as a Republican because sadly enough we are what appears as a two party system due to many factors. If I had my druthers, I'd rather a viable federalist option arise. While I did vote for Trump in the last election (as a thumb in the eye to the establishment), most recent elections I've voted third party.

Blessings, -Ed I was sickened by Justice Roberts decision concerning Obamacare. But I think he was following orders quite frankly. And yes, he bares responsibility as much as the Democrats and the Republicans who did nothing to stop Obamacare's progress through the system. Bush43 championed No Child legislation when he was governor in Texas as I recall. A deplorable legacy to be sure. He also took a surplus left by Clinton and put our country into an enormous deficit that has only been compounded by BH Obama. And with regard to illegals, I think that follows what I had observed about bleeding of parties across the aisle since Bush43. It strikes me they're putting on a show for the electorate while snickering behind their hands among themselves at their rich dinner parties and private gatherings during the recess. They make the laws that apply to us. Not them. I also think that is why members of the Republican party are working against Trump. Which I've not heard of before. Members of a party working to tank their own party member who sits as president. The America I knew as a younger soul isn't even recognizable now. So maybe I'm surprised because I'm just waking up to the really deep evil that waves back at me as a whole, from both sides of the aisle , from that cabal on the Hill.

Blessings, -Ed Both of Oklahoma's senators are pretty good. Inholf and Lankford. They both have done things I disagreed with, but when I asked them about it, they had good reasons for their actions.

I remember James Inhofe was mayor when I lived in Tulsa. I'd forgotten he was now a senator. Blessings, -Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
