You become what you hate

Proving that that you become what you hate, the certain Republicans are comparing themselves to the Taliban.

"After giving the package zero votes in the House, and with their counterparts in the Senate likely to provide in a crucial procedural vote today only the handful of votes needed to avoid a filibuster, Republicans are relishing the opportunity to make a big statement.  Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Tex.) suggested last week that the party is learning from the disruptive tactics of the Taliban, and the GOP these days does have the bravado of an insurgent band that has pulled together after a big defeat to carry off a quick, if not particularly damaging, raid on the powers that be. "

The Republican Party is shriveling up to it's hard, bitter core and because of that are doing more harm to the country. Their motivation for blocking the stimulus bill is not the betterment of their country, it is to further their own political careers in their home districts. They had no problem signing a bill that gave $700 BILLION away to banks who horded it and wasted it with out oversight. The banks sneezed and the Republican lead Congress fell all over its self to wipe their noses. But now that a bill comes across their desk that has a chance of putting money into the hands of those who need it, or provide jobs to those who want to work,they are resistant and righteous and sudden spend thrifts who are unmoved by the plight of the common American worker who is so beneath them. There is no Charity in their hearts, only the love of power and money. This is hypocrisy of the highest order and a continuation of the deadly hubris of the Bush error.

Now they see themselves as following in the footsteps of the Taliban and sanctioning the philosophy of terrorist? Really?

The Republican Party needs a re-boot, or needs to be allowed to die and be replaced with a new party that puts it's country (and it's citizens) first.
