Somehow in their quest for power the Republican Party has gotten cut loose from all sanity as far as I can see.
I used to think it was reasonable to be an independent voter and try to vote for the best candidate irrespective of party because both parties were working for the common good. They didn't always see things in the same way. But because they cared more about the good of the American people who together form the United States of America, party goals and party platforms were irrelevant to my voting decisions. We wanted to elect good people and party didn't really matter.
But in today's political climate both parties are not working for the common good. Sometimes I wonder if any party ever works for the common good, but certainly the Republican Party has slid completely off the cliff.
The latest demonstration of idiocy comes from the House of Representatives where they linked up passage of a 2- month extension of the Federal subsidy for Unemployment Benefits with fast-action review of the Keystone Pipeline.
I have so many problems with this I barely even know where to start.
