Solutions.......

The focus in Washington should be on solutions to our problems (i.e., infrastructure, health care, jobs, etc).

The President and the Dems in most cases at least have solutions. But they are getting no cooperation from the Repugs when it comes to acting on these solutions. In most cases - there are some real no-brainer solutions that can be enacted to solve most of our problems.

The Repugs on the other hand are full of rhetoric and sound and fury signifying nothing - but they never offer any valid solutions - except the failed policies of the past that got us into this present situation.

In my humble opinion the President and the Dems should make "Solutions" their mission over the next two years and keep hammering the American People with the 'solutions' and put the pressure on the Repugs to have to talk solutions too and enact some of these solutions.

I don't think that the Repugs have solutions or don't want to acknowledge the reality that there are solutions because they are playing partisan politics.

If the President and the Dems keep the pressure on them - it will become more and more evident to the American People that the Repugs are the root of our problems. We need to open the eyes of the American People.

There comes a point when all the lame excuses and lame rhetoric that the Repugs spew cannot be believed any more by any rational thinking American. We need to hammer this - because we need to open the eyes of the American People that are under the spell of the Repugs, Fox News, MSM in general, the banksters, the Corps, the Koch Bros, etc.

We need to point out to that element of the American People how stupid they are looking supporting the Repugs.

I know this will take some doing because I see it with some of my long time friends that I don't associate with much anymore. They are brainwashed. I'm talking educated people that on the surface seem rational - they shut their eyes to the stupidity that the Repugs spew - and by association become stupid along with them.

It is almost like we have to have some sort of major intervention with these people - like they do with those that are brainwashed into some cult. We need to bring them back to reality.

Thanks for letting me rant.

sides of the aisle to come up with peaceful, seventh generation solutions to the needs of our multiple tribes. Is it only greed and the corruption greed brings with it? I wonder how many of them also have been offered sky diving lessons without a parachute as well.
