Those pesky 42 Republicans

Recently, the 42 Republican Senators in the United States vowed to neglect and vote against any bill during the lameduck Congress because the Bush tax cut issue has yet to have been addressed. Although I do agree this issue needs to be addressed imminently, as they expire in one month, to simply ignore any bill that comes their way is unacceptable and negligent. The United States citizens have voted these folks in to pay attention to, and vote on, these very bills. But since they are not getting their way with Obama and the Congressional Democrats, they are pulling this stunt.

This is not democracy. This is borderline fascism. They are exercising their power to...do nothing. Now, fortunately the Republicans agreed to address the new START treaty that would essentially sign a pact with Russia to eliminate a number of nuclear weapons and to reduce nuclear proliferation. Unfortunately, this is not the only issue that needs addressing in the Senate. Anything that truly comes before the Senate, which likely took many years to get there, deserves just as much attention as the START treaty, and simply ignoring it to get their way with the tax-cut issue is not a solution. If the Democrats had done this to the Republicans, I would feel the same way, and the liberal media would be in an absolute uproar. As it is, the Republicans are just fine sitting on their fannies until the tax-cut issue is frontloaded. So why are we paying these Senators to do nothing? Impeach, or move forward with the bills presented.
