I Trust our New Republican Congress

That’s a big statement from someone who has spent considerable time lambasting the GOP for acting like spoiled toddlers in their blocking anything based on its being presented by a Democrat or by the-man-who-must-be-stopped, Pres. Obama. 

Why my change of heart?  Because this Congress includes new people who, I believe, ran for office because they truly want to make our nation a fair, just, and livable place for all of its citizens and, presumably, they affiliate with the GOP based on its founding principles at the birth of our nation, principles that promised to protect and help the common man.  Principles which have been ignored in recent times.

I believe, too, that these new members have the excitement and fire of being in a new position of influence and that they will use that to convince the rest of their party to re-learn compromise, compassion, and civility.  And how to act as adults.

Over the last few years my nation has been harmed so badly, my fellow citizens driven into so much despair, we MUST have reached rock bottom.  That’s why I believe.  Because I have to.
