Not only...

Its not only the Republican party which is the issue. Looking at it in another way, there are many “elephants in the room”. Perhaps you would like to name some.......

The 10,000’s of iatrogenic deaths and iatrogenic illnesses caused by the health system http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23361022-29277,00.html

The unsustainable nature of the health system

The abrogation of responsibility by the public service sactor

The self-serving righteousness of the judicial system

The failure of the education system......

Because denial is easiest.
Because manifest destiny feels more right than self-fulfilling prophesy.
But neither is straight, narrow or right.

We’re all in an Irwin Allen movie, and the Republican leadership is the dumb guy saying relax, everything’s fine.
