Well it looks like the Democratic party in DC is finally getting around to calling out the Republicans for economic sabotage so that they increase their chances of winning next year.
Duh....
I think it was pretty clear from day one
Prior to the Nov. 2 election, McConnell told the National Journal's Major Garrett, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."
I for one believed him.....
What took them so long? After the spectacular show in how to block government for the first two years gave them significant wins in 2010 that brought them control of the House they were going to change the strategy?
In 2011 they suddenly realize:
"Our Republican colleagues in the House and Senate are driven by putting one man out of work: President Obama," said Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL).
Actually the more likely scenario is to get rid of as many Democrats as possible is my guess.
Shumer continues the theme
This is sort of beyond the pale. So if they'd oppose even something so suited to their tastes ideologically, it shows that they're just opposing anything that would help create jobs. It almost makes you wonder if they aren't trying to slow down the economic recovery for political gain.
Well once again...Duh.
From another article
Democrats are increasingly concerned that Republicans are setting them up to endorse large spending cuts in a deal to raise the national debt limit without giving ground on anything -- even GOP-friendly policy measures like tax cuts for business owners -- to stimulate the economy in the near-term.
Look we all told you that a couple of years ago, I'm so glad you are finally catching up, this could have been said in the run up to 2010 let alone 2012.
The Republican controlled House from day one proposed legislation that concentrated on wedge issues alone [that killed jobs] rather than even letting the idea of creating jobs enter their tiny little minds.
Republicans are all about winning.
Republicans don't care who they hurt just so long as they win.
Good grief somebody woke up to this fact?
Also they just love to bash women, gays, unions and the poor along the way, but that's just to divert attention from their deliberate sabotage.
It's about time, now to hammer it home....well on the evidence so far it's a rubber hammer that they prefer.
