GOP is too passive

But I remember talking about that in a conversation 20 years ago.

Well, we're 20 years down the road and things aren't getting any better.

I don't know if the GOP passed the IRS legislation that Obama wanted, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Instead of being forceful, they are going to get shut down.  Just watch and see.

Instead of being the bulwark of the Republic, they will be the enabler of its destruction.

Why is the seizure of Crimea a big deal?  It is a violation of an agreement.  Russia was not to invade Ukraine, but it did and probably will do it again.  It is a violation of that agreement and calls into question why any agreement should be sought with them in the future.

The GOP should be shouting this from all the rooftops in America, but they just shrug their shoulders as if to say "who cares".  We've got Putin threatening to turn America into radioactive dust while the rest of the country continues to act as if business as usual isn't the proper response to this.

The proper response is not war, but it sure as hell is not doing meaningless and frivolous things.

We should have missile defense.  It would have cost $25 billion to install a good defense.  You could spend 10 times that much and it would be a bargain.  That should be one of the things being shouted from the rooftops.

The GOP is going to play the next election and is going to lose it.  Even if they don't, they won't use the power that they won at the polls.  Instead, we will get excuses.
