BloggeRhythms 8/1/2011

Republicans got a huge win yesterday, and not simply because of their efforts regarding the debt deal. Because a group amounting to only one half of the two houses of Congress, and having to battle with the uncooperative president to boot, changed the way legislation will be negotiated in the future. And although faced with huge opposition every step of the way, they made themselves heard and for once, actually carried out what their constituents put them in office to do.

The debt deal, however, is only a small indication of what's been taking place over the past few months in particular and has been brewing for over two years, because what's actually quite evident now is that the Democrat party is on its way out altogether. And their self-serving actions, putting themselves above the needs of the nation, has angered a significant part of the voting population.

So, it really doesn't matter that the Dem's achieved their main goal of having the next debt negotiation put off til' after the upcoming election, because folks aren't going to forget how selfish the Dem's were, and thus won't be voting for them next time around.

Beyond that, voters also know that although the president grabbed the headline to announce that a deal had been reached, he took no part in the successful negotiation except to keep changing the rules every time a deal was close, and kept unsuccessfully trying to insure tax hikes on the "rich."

But now that the default threat is apparently over, it's time to get back to the other critical matters affecting the nation. And, debt deal or not, those won't change a bit. Because small businesses are still being choked by the inability to borrow funds, big business still won't risk a quarter until the present incumbent is gone, and unemployment will either stay the same or increase because the administration is still anti-business and perpetuating governmental growth.

Consequently, all the Republicans have to do now is let the smoke settle down and move ahead toward the upcoming election. And if they're smart, they won't let non-business ideology take their eye off the ball. Because all the country really wants is to stop hearing about philosophical nonsense that politicians have somehow added to their platforms, and finally be able to get back to economic growth. And at the moment, about 75% of likely voters believe Democrats can't help them do that.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
