Republican Hypocrisy Versus a Bipartisan Agenda

Mitt RomneyAn interesting concern is being levied against the Right and the success of Mitt Romney, the once GOP hopeful turned most likely. With two thirds of American voters leery of a President Obama second term, Democrat voters have turned to the GOP and its candidates for alternative leadership in Washington. Romney’s recent success, in their eyes, is representative of a clear double standard the Right now refuses to even acknowledge.

Conservatives did an excellent job educating voters that Obamacare was both an unconstitutional power grab by the Obama Administration and bad for America. Republicans then answered Obamacare with a plan of "repeal and replace.” Halfhearted was the 112th Congress’ repeal attempt while the Republicans have yet to produce any semblance of a reasonable alternative to Obamacare, let alone "replace” it. This suggests to the more discerning, Obamacare will never truly go away; it will merely see small adjustments, be rebranded in Republican red and still imposed upon the people unconstitutionally.

Unanswered concerns

These concerns are only validated in the momentum of Mitt Romney who developed the prototype for what is now Obamacare. Suddenly, it seems the conservative voice has been silenced by the larger GOP agenda that is growing increasingly similar to that of the current administration. Moreover, Democrat voters seeking republican refuge, now ask how sincere the Right was in their fight against Obamacare. Republicans have cried foul on the program to only turn and support the very may who was once considered to be a candidate to administer Obamacare itself.

To counter the critics, Romney merely adopted conservative buzzwords. Romneycare was a matter of "personal responsibility” according to the front-running Republican. It would appear that Romney’s exiguous and almost insulting minimization of his practiced support of Obmacare seems to have been enough to quite the Right that once stood in defiance of it. Willingly forgotten by the less conservative Republican voter is every important aspect between Romneycare and Obamacare are virtually identical.

Left in the wake of Romney’s ironic success in his bid to acquire the Republican presidential nod is the telling truth of similarities that are not only shared with Obamacare, but the Republican Party’s initial attempt to impose a national health care mandate against the people. Collectively, they are driven first by an unconstitutional health insurance mandate.

"We are a party of personal responsibility…” Romney rationalized for the Republican acceptance of Romneycare. A Party that Romney wishes to openly reject the federal version of his his own program and not be hypocritically perceived by the public.

Republican hypocrisy

Unfortunately for the Right, a glance back in history suggests the term hypocritical may be an understatement when it comes to Republican criticism of Obamacare. The nation’s first push for nationalized health care enforced by a mandate was made by the Nixon Administration. Not only did conservative organizations such The Heritage Foundation support the Nixonian health care mandate, they educated the Republican voters to support it. In the 1990’s, then Speaker of the House Gingrich and Senate Majority Leader Dole both supported a health care mandate. Nixon’s health care mandate was boldly rejected by a more conservative American voter. President Clinton also attempted a nationalized health care program. The program was again boldly rejected due the conservative voter’s awareness.

What both the Left and Right have attempted, President Obama forced into being – he won. Not only did he win, he won with, yes, Republican support within the 111th Congress. Romney’s Republican nomination would make the Republican outrage over Obamacare a mere jealously fueled temper tantrum that Obama accomplished what they could not.

Democrat voters with a more moderate temperament feel disenfranchised by the Obama Administration’s overly Liberal agenda and are debating how best to leave their Obama affiliations behind. They have turned to the Right to only discover they are faced with same conundrum forcing them to flee from the Progressive Lefitsms of the Obama Administration.

In venturing to the Right, angry Democrats have only begun to uncover a quandary of Judge Andrew Napolitano; "What if Republicans and Democrats were two wings of the same bird of prey?

    Many still seem to believe America’s best days are ahead of her while they support their traditional political views enabled by same system of American political dysfunction that has led to America’s current decline.  In short, without a major shift in the American voting paradigm, any hopes of a better American future are but a pipe dream facilitated by the insanity of wishing things to improve while making no adjustments to actually effort a more promising American outcome.

    It is not that supporters are unaware of Santorum’s or other candidate’s fiscal histories; it is that so many are actually indifferent to fiscal history while staking claim to the call for a fiscally responsible president.  So do we really give a crap about fiscal prudence or not?  Are we serious when we state we want a Congress that will not infringe upon the Constitution they have sworn to protect?  When it comes to practicing what we preach on the Right, the honest truth is; we fail miserably.

    As of late, the Right insists on challenging the norm of America’s political elite.  While this is admirable, the two party system of "us against them” serves to only limit the spectrum of debate perspectives of a given topic; Critical Perspectives was developed to draw attention to shortcomings in the often limited and often Republican controlled perspectives of the Conservative Right.

    Fewer than half of Americans pay taxes, forcing more than half to now pay taxes while disposing of the income tax return economically imperials more than 50% of a nation which has a suffering economy; 70% of which is driven by consumer spending.  Maybe it’s just me, but I see this as unwise.

    PictureThe illusion in the Black community is power lies in the guise of victimization while Whites lie powerless under the illusion of redemption.  The illusion removed reveals the Black is powerless in that Whites have no redemption.  To break ranks with the role of the Black victim is to dissent for the Black community itself; a measure and expression of individuality the Black community meets with very overt animus aggression.  To not envision one’s self as victim is to resist the political influences of the Democrat Party.  This resistance is a demonstration of self-reliance; a forbidden Democrat attribute for Blacks to espouse.

    ThePicture problem lies in the symbolic interactionism of the liberal subculture that has lost the ability to "self script” outside of the conditions set by the dominate liberal whole.  This inability to script different perceptions of self develops into the loss of self-identity outside the confines set by the higher liberal social order.  This is exactly why, as atrocious a President Obama is; he will always have these unconditional supporters whom lack a sense of  self that is beyond that of which Obama as prescribed to them.  One lower level political figure in Atlanta stated, "Obama knows what’s best.”  Such a statement epitomizes the loss of self and the failure in the ability to identify self  individuality in the lower liberal subculture.  If the dominate liberal whole makes a claim, the subculture will in turn unconditionally submit to it.  Envision if you will, an abused other whom seeks to rationalize their abuse in terms of their own inadequacies.  Hence is the new liberal subculture.  The inept view of self has allowed its exploitation to a social order that is granted the perception of power for being more competent and more responsible than that of the individual self.

    Picture"More or less, Conservatism, mothered by the Republican Party and Fathered by the Democrat Party, currently suffers an Oedipus complex in that Conservatives wish to destroy Democrats while they harbor a perverse attraction to the Republican political elite."

    PictureHere is a way of looking at one aspect, perhaps the largest aspect, of the Obama Administration.  If your household is consumed by debt, you do not seek to correct the problem by assuming even more debt.  Yet, America is being told things are getting better in areas where it is completely impossible for them to improve given the Obama Administration’s refusal to assume a role of fiscal responsibility that would be of benefit to the people.

    Have Picturethings really gotten that bad?  Is the Republican interpretation of Americanism so distorted, the American people are more willing to surrender the U.S. Constitution to the Obama regime?   Is the lesser evil of submitting to full government control really a more promising voter prospect than allowing the Republican political elite to continue their current course of action?  Moreover, when will Americans begin to recognize "Republicanism” as the counter intuitive conservative political ideology that today’s Republican elite have turned it into?

    PictureTo many, Barak Obama is a great president. Denial. Mitt Romney for others, represents a return to a better America.  Denial. Herman Cain is (somehow) the Tea Party favorite.  Denial. Americans, desperate to hide from political truth, use denial to provide themselves with a false sense of security in hopes a better future will magically blossom from blind hope - and the efforts of the more aware and more assertive American.  The truth is as obvious as it is a lonely reality.
