GOP is about hypocrisy and power mongering

As spineless and undetermined as the Democrats have been, I still can't believe the Republicans are swinging so far to the right. With all of their bashing of Democrats being leftist, you would think they would try to stay more moderate themselves. The Republicans are not about transparency and honesty; they seem to be more about hypocrisy and power mongering.

There is not a bit of actually advancing the conversation about how to deal with a second huge economic depression looming over us, a government that is bankrupt, two wars that have been or are being slowly lost no matter how valiantly our service members are performing, an energy crisis that is threatening to pollute our planet, and a mainstream media unwilling to hold those in power accountable.

So Republicans try to take down a presidency by obstructing anything he might do or have done to address the crippling problems left to him by his predecessor. They are still waging a hypocritical, disingenuous and cowardly war to prevent the working poor from having any real access to affordable health care or finding solutions to our current problems.
