GOP should follow or get out of the way

Let it be known that I am a Democrat and quasi-conservative, but I would never consider myself a Republican. I read the news, a number of different papers, and I check out those same stories on the Internet. I will even listen to those conservative morons on the radio.

I am tired of listening to these people who can only complain about what our president is doing. Like most armchair quarterbacks, they know what he is doing wrong, and they are not too proud to shout it from the rooftops.

Let me say this and I want to be very clear: Our president is trying to fix the stupid mess Republicans have created and left for the American people. What some Republicans don’t want to do is allow this man, Barack Obama, to try to fix the problem. President Obama has given the United States hope again, a feeling we the American people have not had for eight years.

There are Republicans who complain that this bailout is too much and doesn’t help enough people, yet they gave President George W. Bush whatever amount of money to waste away on a war, so he could show up his daddy. Republicans are, by their very nature, stealers of hope.

All I can say is: “If you’re not going to be part of the solution, you are part of the problem and America, love it or leave it!”

Please leave.
