Face the Nation ... a short rant

I had left the CBS Sunday Morning Show on as I took a shower and
did some stuff and when I walked into my living room I saw that
Face the Nation had on Jim Demint and he had the unmitigated gall
to talk about the problems of D.C. with all the lobbyists and how
this was helping to stop the will of the American people.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THE SON OF A BITCH QUIT HIS JOB IN THE US
SENATE TO GO AND HEAD UP AN ORGANIZATION THAT DOES LOBBYING
24/7. The Heritage Foundation lobbies congress all the time and yet Demint
can go the TV machine and talk about how bad all those lobbyists are
for America.

Overall I like Bob Schieffer but I wish he had called out Demint's hypocrisy.

immigration reform, consumer and worker protection laws, hike in minimum wage, greater consumer protections and tighter regulations in the financial industry and energy industry.

Demint and his Fascist Wingnuts lobby AGAINST the majority of American people every single day.

4. The GOPers strategy is to PRETEND that their policies

are the same or better than the Dems when it comes down to working with the American people. Just like 2010 when majority of the so called GOPer governors and legislatures claiming to be on the side of their constituents, i.e., no Union busting, no messing with education and schools, civil rights for voters and women, etc. and once they won, they did the complete opposite - Heir Walker and the rest.

That is their goal again is to fake their warp ideology, claim love for the American people and once they get in screw them all over again and of course blame the Dems. The only thing that is so far consistent is their total hatred for healthcare.

Many GOPers are already blaming the Dems for SNAP and Medicare cuts what they voted for.
