Not likely.

I've had about enough of hearing how the GOP will ruthlessly and viciously make Sonia Sotomayor's nomination hearings as difficult as possible. I wish I could claim misogony or racism, however what it really comes down to is that dirty little " D" word; democrat.

Now, I would be a liar if I were to claim that democrats did not do their best to make republicans uncomfortable during any process that involved nominating a conservative. I am not pointing fingers at republicans alone for such immature, selfish and ridiculous behavior. However, regardless of your political persuasion, you should all desire an end to this nonsense, immediately.

I am so tired of sour grapes. When our country's economy is in the toilet, our service men and women are involved in two wars and multiple international conflicts and our citizens are desparate for some peace, and piece of mind, all the GOP can do is initiate conflict and try and prohibit any effective progress.

Last week, when the Credit Card Holder's Bill of Rights passed ( thank God!), were you aware that the republicans only allowed it to pass because it included an ammendment to allow automatic weapons in our national parks? Really? Millions of Americans are being ripped off by credit card companies. These companies tanked our economy, thus resulting in a stronger dependence on said credit cards. These companies have taken our tax dollars to pay for their bad mistakes only to slam us with uneccessary fees and charges. The entire nation should be outraged. However, the GOP didn't care too much but as long as ole' Johnny can bring his automatic weapon into his nearest national park, then I suppose it can pass.

In the aftermath of the Bush administration, you would think that the GOP would want to rebuild its image. You would think that they would want to chose leaders with integrity and intelligence. Instead, they chose a moose hunter and a foul-mouthed, drug- addicted talk show host. In addtion, Michael Steele may be a man of color, but he is no Obama. You would think that any opportunity to shed some positive light on the GOP would be jumped at. You would think that the GOP would scour their base to find an smart and likeable individual to represent the party on a national stage.

You would think.

Guess not.
