“Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know” is a
popular proverb. It is better to deal with a person or thing you know,
even if you do not like them, than to deal with a new thing or person
who could be even worse.
We know the platform of the Democrats is bad and we expect the Republicans to be the guardians of our constitutional principles. The problem is, too many Republicans are equally bad and we don’t do enough about it. In the end, we still end up with devils – the Republicans.
Republicans want their committee chairmanships back so they can spend our money in ways different from the Democrats, but spend it they will.
Where were the Republicans in defending our liberties against the latest attack on our liberties? It was John McCain – a Republican – in March of 2010 who introduced a bill in the Senate that would allow U.S. citizens to be arrested and detained indefinitely, all without Miranda rights or ever being charged with a crime if they were suspected of terrorism.
As you know, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDDAA) passed with overwhelming Republican support.
