Why vote Republican?

Published 5:42 pm Tuesday, September 25, 2012

If you think it’s okay for your congressman to work two and a half to three days a week, about nine days out of the month, you might want to vote Republican. (They get a mandatory week off once a month.)
If you think it’s okay for your congressman to take a month off after serving about 18 days in congressional session over every two months, you might want to vote Republican.
If you think an elected congressman should put pledges and promises to Rush Limbaugh (“America must fail,” he ordered the Republican Party) and Grover Norquist (“Don’t pass any bill that costs money until you get my permission”) above and before his Constitutional oath, you might want to vote Republican.
If you think that your Republican congressman deserves his $200,000+ income and tax paid benefits with this history you might want to vote Republican. Or Independent or Democrat. Your choice.
Just remember this, when Democrats were in charge, Congress was in session at least five days a week.
Thank you for your time.
