Wrapped in the Flag

It’s scary to me that current polls show the GOP picking up significant power in the midterns. I do not understand how people’s memories could possibly be so short. Do they not remember the mess that Bush left the country with in January of 2009?

And it’s not just that Bush left us a huge mess, it is that the Republican Party has made a coldly calculated decision to obstruct everything Barack Obama and the Democrats in the House and Senate have tried to do to clean up the mess.

The Republican Party have put their own political fortunes in front of the good of the US time and time again over the last two years. They have constantly obstructed progress while spreading a huge amount of lies about the Democrats. And now American voters want to reward them for it? It is unbelievable!

When will folks turn off the noise of the Fox News propaganda network and start taking a closer look at what the Republican agenda for the future of our country really is?

I would love to write that it’s just a return to the policies of Bush since that would be bad enough. But it’s actually far worse than that. By the standards of the Republican Tea Party of 2010, President is a “liberal.”

The GOP agenda for 2011 when they hope to control both the House and the Senate include the following five things:

1. Turn Social Security over to Wall Street. They want the fat cats on Wall Street to have access to your Social Security money.

2. Destroy Medicare. Their proposed cuts to Medicare would gut this extremely popular health care program.

3. Extend the George W. Bush tax cuts for the rich that helped destroy the economy.

4. Repeal the Constitution’s 17th amendment. For some bizarre reason they think that people shouldn’t have the right to vote for their own Senators, instead party politicians should get to choose them.

5. Begin trumped up “investigations” into the Obama administration. I’m not joking, Republicans have already said that they plan on starting investigations on anything and everything as soon as they get the majority. What makes this most ridiculous is that the Democrats never investigated any of the real crimes of President Bush, but the Republicans are threatening to investigate the made up crimes of President Obama.

It is because of this scary right wing agenda that I must endorse every Democratic candidate running for congress in 2010. Whether it be Rick Boucher in the 9th district of Virginia or any other Democrat running against the Republican Tea Party. It’s certainly not that the Democrats are perfect; they’re not. It’s that the Republican Party in 2010 is really dangerous to the future prospects of the United States. We’re in too precarious of a position to let these folks get any sort of significant power.

Republican Presidential Candidates In 2012 are likely to include Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee. All of whom work for Fox “News”.
