The Party of "No"

The new and improved Republican party? Or is it? The Republican party,as it now presents itself, has taken a turn for the worst. A party that was once regarded as an upstanding part of political life in Washington and America in general, has sunk to the level of bitter losers. The only thing Republicans have left is the power to oppose the plans proposed by the new administration, and they have used this power quite liberally (no pun intended). This strong (and at times absurd) opposition to the Democratic government has earned the Republicans the moniker, The Party of "No."
This new found title is more than sarcastic prodding but is in fact the truth. The Republicans have so often lodged complaints against the Democratic party in the last few months since the election, that the Grand Ole Party (GOP) has been reduced to the Grand Ole Party-Poopers (the GOPPers). It is time for the GOPPers to realize that continuously saying "no" and offering no plausible solutions to the American people is the surest way to become political laughingstock. Whoops it seems they have already secured a spot in the Political Laughingstock Hall of Fame. If the GOPPers have any hope of regaining their former glory they must learn to regain the trust of the American people without seemingly selling their souls and their common sense in the process.The way to redemption does not have to be the way to "a dusty death." Learn from prior mistakes and move to avoid them in the future. Unfortunately, the GOPPers have not as yet learned this lesson.How long they will take to do so remains to be seen.
