Healthcare Part Deux: Republicans taking a siesta?

Okay, the name calling and interruptions were enough. But this….

This is outrageous.

Republicans: You knew taking this job that you win some, you lose some. It is the very nature of your job. Was the whole election thing not an indication about what you were getting into? You know, the whole campaigning, persuading and voting thing…that gave you no "hint" of how your actual job in the public office would operate? If that wasn’t enough, it had to be in the job description somewhere. Oh wait, maybe you didn’t read the job description. I know Sarah Palin didn’t.

Fact: You win some, you lose some. And when you lose, you do not adopt the demeanor of a two year old by metaphorically crossing your arms, walking away, and refusing to listen. Grow up.

I would hope that being adults, you could lose graciously and still do the job that the people have elected you to do and moreso are paying for you to do. I'm pretty certain the dems did this when we entered an unjust war.

People usually walk out of jobs when they aren’t getting the benefits they deem as fair (or none at all), are underpaid, and when they are suffering from ill treatment in the workplace. Humor me, which category does your current trial fall under? As we have already seen, you tend to sue. Fine, go with that one This is the action you are taking within the scope of your job to express your disagreement. But don’t take a siesta on our watch when we have troops counting on you to pass important legislature/laws that will affect them in a war you voted for them to be in. That is inhumane, immature, irrational, and un-American.

PS- I know a lot of people who are unemployed that would probably love to do your job if you don’t plan on being there. So if you really don’t want to be there, give up your seat so someone who is doing the job can receive a paycheck that we are signing.

  1. The Rhetoric is actually starting to scare me. It's gone beyond politics and I fear it might get violent soon. We're better than that, I hope.
