Thinking right just wrong

Over the years, I have tried to understand how anyone that worked for a paycheck could think conservative. Doing so, one shoots themselves in the foot. Then, voting so, shoots themselves in the head.

Conservatives, Republicans, rant about everything the working citizens of this nation benefit from, but have you ever heard of one of them rejecting their claim to Social Security or Medicare? They are at the public trough for their share, griping the whole time they may have had to contribute something.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers has done well for the money people, but what has she done to get stimulus money for roads, bridges, unemployment extensions? Nothing.

The Democrats should have continued the Bush economy. Then this generation would learn about debtors’ prisons, poor houses and soup lines.

Those Republicans in the House and Senate, whose only action is to see that the president fails, should be tarred and feathered. If the president fails, we all fail. Good grief, Bush-Cheney just proved that.
