(See link below.) What
happened to my country? I am just sad. Where did it go so wrong? It was
always divided for as long as I remember but not this extremist badly.
The president for the 2010 midterms I am sorry to say did NOT sell his
healthcare plan well enough and logically enough. He needed to make a
huge tour around the country doing so as if he were up for reelection.
The Tea Bags and Republicans sustained a huge majority it still has and legislation
ordinarily easily passed was/is like pulling teeth. The nation had suffered tremendous upheaval with bank bailouts and CEO's getting so much taxpayer money and bonuses to boot.
The Republican Party that is now the Republican Party's anti-government
base revolted against the government debt and the spending of more
taxpayer bucks. Instead of these middle class whites gravitating to the
Democratic Party where they economically truly belong the Republican
Party that allegedly hated spending lassoed them in taking full
advantage of their opposition to social programs meaning their money
perceived to go to persons of color and hence the basically all white,
conservative, southern and Midwestern tea bag party was born and became
right wing extremist persons with power. They literally economically
stepped on their own toes because the at least old Republican Party is
NOT about them. It is about the richest 1% but hey racism tops it all.
