    We are not achieving serious solutions because we are not taking the problems seriously, because we choose to play games Take off your Democrat and Republican hats: The ship is sinking!

By Herman Cain (Bio and Archives)  Tuesday, August 6, 2013

 

I suppose you all know this, but it’s much on my mind this morning and I just finished saying it on the radio. I want to say it here too.

One of the reasons we do not solve this nation’s problems is that everyone is so busy trying to gain partisan advantage from them. I’d like to ask everyone to take off your Democrat and Republican party hats for a moment and just recognize something.

Democrats are causing the ship of state to sink. They are using food stamps and Social Security funds to buy votes, by encouraging people to depend on food stamps and disability benefits rather than encouraging them to work. I know they will get offended that I say it! I does not care! Democrats benefit politically when more people are dependent on government to survive. They’re doing a good job using public funds to buy votes, but they’re doing a terrible job governing this country. What’s more, they’re encouraging people to count on promises made way into the future for which there is no money, and they refuse to be honest about the fact that the promises will not and cannot be kept.

Clapping your hands, Republicans? Sorry, but it’s your turn now.

Republicans are causing the ship of state to sink by doing what they always do - cowardly positioning themselves to lose. Republicans have leverage by virtue of the fact that they control the House. They have the power of the purse. But they do not use it. They could defund ObamaCare. They could refuse to authorize the big spending that Obama, Reid and Pelosi want to perpetrate. They could insist that we choose priorities and spend responsibly. I am not talking about appealing through the media or begging the president in negotiations. I am talking about using power they have. No spending is possible unless it passes the House. So why do Republicans keep authorizing it?

Because they are scared of political consequences. They are scared of criticism. They are scared of the media. And they are not united! The Karl Rove-type establishment Republicans don’t like Tea Party Republicans because they want to keep doing what they’ve always done - get along by going along, and lose. And Tea Party groups aren’t united either! They bicker with each other.

Rand Paul and Chris Christie are having a public feud that delights the media, who laugh every day as they write the headlines.

This is helping nothing! We are not achieving serious solutions because we are not taking the problems seriously, because we choose to play games like this instead doing what the public elects leaders to do.

I remain optimistic about this country, but this will only change when the people refuse to accept it any longer.

Is that day coming soon?

Sadly, I'm not optimistic about our people refusing to accept it any more. I also do not think any politician of either party will do the right thing until we have single term limits!

The Dems are sinking the ship....did you mention taking off our hats?

 

There isn't time to educate right wingers on DV. It would take years of turning off FOX on TV and reversing years of misinformation. 

 

Just the way you wrote this indicates you cannot be balanced in your view - saying Dems cannot govern and then saying Repugs could save us all but they are not united. Please...

 

I can hardly type from laughing. 2008 - economy under Bush worst tanking in our history, illegal wars that are unfunded left to future generations....most money ever to top 1% and middle class dying....more corporate tax breaks than ever...starts BS War on Terror...so they can make more money on the empire overseas...

 

If we don't really take our hats off and get together - against the elite - we are doomed

 

(hint: why do you think FOX uses the word "elite" to refer to Dems? Because they are horrified you righties might figure it out who the "elite" really are, unite with the Dems and go after them....LOL)

 

There is no problem though - you'll never figure it out.

Hey hame55 it said he did not write it but does support it, my gosh you prove the point of the OPINION piece instead of talking out your backside, like most of us we all have an opinion and none really count. America needs to stand united in this mess, come together as one and say enough is enough. It just sounds like you are attacking the poster of the article rather than article it's self but hey you no what lets keep blaming the past presidents for all this , keep looking behind us instead of in front of us that's really working well isn't it..

Case in point. 

When all else fails, they resort to twisted fanatical diatribes that intentionally completely miss the intent and only serve to spew more hate and rhetoric.

 

The quote box above contains every single positive component and helpful well thought out advice coming from the collectivists.

 

People, don't let yourselves become an enraged delusional loon, all it will do is get your nickers in a bunch, and you will spend all day just hating everything.

 

Much better to spend your energy on working to unite your fellow humans, and eliminate this whole left/right division that is keeping us from returning our country to her rightful glory.

 

There is only one peoples in this land, Americans.

 

We are one race, the Human Race.

 

let all other distractions fall aside, they were designed to divide.

  I wonder if Bllary will blame obama when she inherits this mess that he created???

 

  Dems are real good at the blame game..Or will she skip right over him and blame Bush???

 

  Its always someone elses fault for you ninnies...

[Sentinel7]

Taking off the parties hats would fix 89% of this Nations problems

Making sure people like hamme have no voice and do not breed would fix the other 11%

Professor Hame, if this is what your brainwashing your students with, then your doing injustice.  If your going to help educate the young adults, educate them fairly.  Your personal opinion doesn't count as education, especially when your opinion is division.

Awash at the gunwales. Forecastle ablaze. Engine room flooded. Most of the water-tight bulkheads are breached. What will you do? I abandoned ship and washed up on a small tropical isle. Loving it here. Anyone who thinks DC (damage control or .......) can save the ship, you are sadly mistaken. Herman Cain is right. It is UTTER and COMPLETE stupidity that is found that has lead to the ship swamped, awash, dead-in-water.

What's up with the PERSONAL, VICIOUS attacks on a DV member??? Don't like what someone writes? Try using intelligent rebuttals to their posts. Jeesu H Christo. Some people need to grow-up a bit before they are allowed to use the computer!!

You could use some work on your people skills.     caw caw caw
