Political Olympics!

Even though I am not athletic, I love to watch the Olympics. They are one more reason to make me proud of this country that I call my home.

After winning one of his gold medals, Michael Phelps (when talking about how he did in the race) said, “In the circumstances, not too bad I guess,” he said with a shrug. “I know I can go faster.” When I was first thinking about this comment, I thought to myself, “Shouldn’t he just be grateful for getting the medal?” Then, I realized why he really said that. He wants to push himself to always do better.

In politics, I believe that sometimes that is how a lot of people think. When we do something right and it works, we need to push ourselves and our party to keep going. Whether we like it or not, the other side most likely will not like what we are doing. In the past couple weeks, the Republicans have refused to leave Congress for their recess. This has been a big stand, and in my opinion it really shows that the Democrats don’t want to step up to the plate and get things done. If they want change so badly, why don’t they have the guts to come back and work with the Republicans to get things done?

I think that as part of the Republican party, we took our stand and like Michael Phelps said, we wanted things to get better and so we are doing something about it. We are trying to make things better. As in the Olympics, we, as the Republican party, need to keep on trying and going for the gold!

    @chels I know what you mean, its hard to find good help these days. People now days just don’t have the work ethic they used to have. I mean consider whoever wrote this post, they must have been working hard to write that good and it took a good bit of their time I am sure. I work with people who couldn’t write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.
