Were the Republicans praying for more unemployment, high gas prices, and more foreclosures so they could blame the Black president?
They aren't praying for more hard times, its been their strategy all along, they've been working to bring this country down.
"America has had trillions of dollars of debt for more than a decade. Why has it suddenly become an immediate crisis?
No one denies that the US must deal with its debt. But calling it a crisis that must be dealt with immediately with deep budget cuts in the midst of a struggling economy appears to be a tool for political gain.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell has made no secret of his number one priority, which is to make Obama a one term president. And being the experienced politician that he is, McConnell knows that his chances of achieving his mission are greatly enhanced if he can somehow manage to tank the economy and keep unemployment high.
Scare tactics are an effective political tool, and when 15 million Americans are unemployed, adding to that fear is easy using Shock Doctrine tactics.
Republicans have admitted that they were more than happy to throw America off an economic cliff during the debt ceiling debate, knowing full well that a credit downgrade and stock market panic would only help their anti-Obama cause.
But the scheme goes even deeper. The budget cuts GOP governors have been invoking all over the country has thrown thousands of government employees out of work. The snowball effect of taking even more consumer spending out of the economy makes the economy worse. Simultaneously, tax cuts for the rich are being increased in many states like Florida, Wisconsin and dozens more.
If the GOP can continue to slash jobs through spending cuts for another year, the economy may be in recession by the 2012 elections, and republicans will run TV ads that blame it all on Obama..."
...and the people who the republicons hurt the most will blindly vote for them again.
"The Citizens United decision was a game changer. US elections may now be legally bought by both foreign and domestic corporations. They are using their new found power to change or eliminate laws that protect the public to increase their own profits.
With unlimited outside funding now permitted for political campaigns, America is no longer a democracy; it is corporate owned legislative body that uses voters as
brainwashed puppets to achieve the corporate goals of deregulation for financial markets, environmental protection, education, worker rights, women's rights, and civil rights.
America is fast becoming a country that can no longer boast of the largest middle class in the world. The status of super-power the US earned after WWII is in decay, along with her once-thriving economy.
This is what the republican congress has brought to America, and unless voters can overcome the massive amounts of cash Citizens United is using to influence the outcome of elections, the American dream will become the American nightmare."
