Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of people — particularly the more outspoken right-wingers who’ve showed up at various tea parties not because they necessarily truly understand what those folks are fighting for but because it gives them a chance to shout — complain that they’re feeling disenfranchised.
They say that their voices aren’t being heard in Washington.
I’m just trying to figure out how this happened and where these people were hiding several years ago.
It was back in 1994 when America had its so-called Republican Revolution.  It was in 2006 when Democrats regained control of Congress.  That means that for 12 years, Republicans essentially had control of Congress.
Rather than feeling as though their concerns are going unheard now, perhaps they should be questioning why their concerns about health care and any solutions they offer up now weren’t implemented back then.  If they had, maybe — just maybe — we wouldn’t be having this bitter health care debate today.
Thank you! Excellent post.
