We Need A Party That Represents More Of Us

  • Thursday, June 5, 2025

Where are the conservative Republicans?

All but two passed the “Big Beautiful Bill” with flying colors. Meanwhile, the elephant in the room is the national debt. This will add well over a trillion dollars to the debt.

Where are the Republicans who passed a balanced budget for two years during the Clinton administration? Except for military spending, the country ran well.

Yes, the tax cuts in the “Big Beautiful Bill” will benefit many families as prices continue to rise. People talk of elderly people living on a fixed income; I submit that everyone who earns a wage also lives on the same.

I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat because neither of the parties represents me. The Republicans are too radical in supporting Trump, and the Democrats are just plain crazy. They focus too much on the wrong issues. When asked about following the Constitution, Trump states, “I’m not a lawyer.” I think when he put his hand on the Bible at his inauguration, he repeated, “… I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." I took the oath when I joined the Navy, and I took it seriously. I don’t think he cares.

Please wake up, we need a party that represents more of us than the current politicians think there are.
