The more I watch what goes on in Washington<\/a>, the more I am convinced that we have two political parties–the first consists of Democrats<\/a> and establishment Republicans, the second consists of conservative Republicans attempting to force Congress<\/a> to represent the people who voted them into office. The recent budget debates have done nothing to change my view.<\/p>\n

The Hill<\/a> posted an article on Saturday about recent budget negotiations.<\/p>\n

The article states:<\/p>\n

Appropriators are expected to roll out the legislation\u00a0early next week,\u00a0giving critics scant time to figure out what\u2019s inside before they cast their votes by the end of the week. The government would shut down on\u00a0Dec. 12\u00a0without a new funding bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHere we are doing the appropriations bill the last couple days\u201d before a government shutdown, conservative Rep. Tim Huelskamp<\/a> (R-Kansas) said in an interview this week. \u201cThat\u2019s not to squeeze Harry Reid<\/a>. That\u2019s to squeeze us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boehner<\/a> critics say there\u2019s no reason the Speaker couldn\u2019t have brought the spending package to the floor this past week, giving the House<\/a> more time to consider it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But doing so\u00a0would also give more time for the right to build a case against it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t want you to read it, that\u2019s why! You think they want you to analyze all the mischievous items in there?\u201d Rep. Walter Jones<\/a> (R-N.C.) \u00a0told The Hill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Representative Jones has been always been a budget hawk. He has unsuccessfully fought the establishment Republicans to cut spending. It is time for Americans<\/a> who are concerned about the growth of government and the growth of government debt to take a close look at their voting habits. It is time to stop sending people to Washington simply because they have an “R” or a “D” after their name and to choose people for office who will actually represent us. We are running out of time to avoid American bankruptcy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
