The CR Addiction: It's Time for an Intervention

Listen up, fellow patriots, it's time we talk about something more addictive to Congress than lobbyist cash, Continuing Resolutions. Yes, you heard that right. CRs are Congress's crack cocaine, and it's high time we stage an intervention.

Now, you'd think our esteemed representatives would have learned by now. Every year, it's the same old song and dance. Instead of doing their job and budgeting like adults, they hit the CR pipe, passing the buck to tomorrow for a hit today. Why? Because standing firm requires backbone, something in short supply in the hallowed halls of Congress.

Let's break it down for those in the back sipping on their liberal tears mug: A Continuing Resolution is Congress's way of saying, "Let's just keep the lights on and worry about the bills later." But here's where it gets spicy, they tried to sneak in a voter ID requirement with the latest CR, and guess what? Colorado Democrats shot it down like it was a skeet disc at a conservative picnic.

And let's chat about this voter ID thing because, frankly, it's common sense wrapped in an American flag. You need an ID to buy a beer and get a fishing license, but for voting, the very cornerstone of our democracy? Nah, just trust the system, they say. Trust, but don't verify, that's the Progresives' motto. (oh my head hurts)

Secretary of State Jena Griswold thinks noncitizens voting is a conspiracy theory (just like Venezuelan gangs in Aurora). Well, Jena, in a world where you need ID to adopt a cat, asking for one to vote shouldn't be the plot of a political thriller. But no, let's keep it on the honor system, because if there's one thing illegal immigrants are known for, it's strictly adhering to the honor system and our laws, right?

Here's the kicker: Republicans, or at least the brave few, are trying to put an end to this CR nonsense. They understand that if we can't stand firm on something as basic as voter integrity, then where? The next thing you know, we'll be debating whether you need ID to run for office.

So here we are, watching Congress kick the can down the road, addicted to the quick fix of CRs, while our nation's integrity hangs by a thread. It's time to say no to this legislative drug. No more CRs. No more compromises on voter ID. If we don't draw the line here, we might as well hand over the keys to the country with a "Help Yourself" sign. You know, like Colorado has done.
