I have often felt like complaining about how the Republicans can’t stick together and get anything done. The left tends to maintain discipline. If the leadership decides the vote should be “no” then the rank and file vote “no”. It doesn’t matter if it is right or wrong. It doesn’t matter what they promised or campaigned on, party unity is a priority. I was impressed and found myself wishing that conservatives working together was not like herding cats.
The recent choir directing by Nancy Pelosi at the State of the Union is making me rethink that a little. As I watched people who claimed to be Americans sitting unresponsive to all the good news about what has been happening I got a little repulsed by party loyalty. Maybe one of the strengths of the Republicans is that we have some people who insist on thinking for themselves. Sure we have our share of elitists and kiss ups but we also have those who stand up for what is right. It shows we are the party of freedom.
