how come?

How come the hate? Seriously now, how come so much hate in the state legislatures where the majority of both houses or the newly elected Governor is a member of the Republican/Bagger Party is so great? How come freedoms, rights and equality seem to be the line in the sand? How come its always about the haves not wanting anyone else to even share in the same glory and greatness of this nation? How come it is about the denial rather than the inclusion, about the limitation rather than the abundance, about the refusal than the acceptance.

How come when the Republican/Baggers were swept into office with the promise of jobs, jobs, jobs and concern about the deficit, the only attempts made for change just seemed to be changes in the equal rights, the personal rights, the unique rights of identities of anyone deemed different. How come the fault of this nations economy had nothing to do with 8 years of bogus government, based on rewarding lies leverage, hypocrisy hate, vitriol and venom but is now blamed on wage earners, women and gays? How come it is cool to hate anyone who wants universal health care, a clean environment, a separation between church and state, and women's right to claim he reproductive choices?

How come every currently announced or soon to be announced presidential candidate for the Republican/Bagger ticket has to swear allegiance to Grover Norquist's no tax increase mandate even if raising some taxes will create compromise and equality in attending to the nations deficit? How come the men and women running for the highest office in this land from the Republican/Bagger party have to announce just how Christian they are, how homophobic they are, how anti women's rights they are, how hateful they are for universal health care they are? How come all f the Republican/Bagger candidates running in the presidential primary are never, ever permitted to talk about inclusion or compromise?

And how come ALL of the fair/open minded people in this nation are not insisting that honesty, morality, ethical equality minded men and women be the only ones we listen to in trying to solve the issues that have ensued this great country of ours?

How come we are letting the loonies run the institution, and not doing much to stop the madness that is American politics in 2011?
