Brain Top Off!

It’s scary to me that polling shows the GOP possibly winning majorities in the House & Senate midterm elections. I don’t understand how people could be so forgetful. Don’t they remember the mess that George W. Bush left us with in January of 2009?

And it’s not just that the Republican President Bush left us a huge mess, it’s that the Republican Party has made a political decision to stand in the way of everything President Obama and the Democratic members of congress have attempted to do in order to clean up the huge mess.

The GOP has put their own political fortunes in front of the good of the United States over and over again over the last two years. They have continually obstructed all positive movement while also spreading lie after lie about the positive things that President Obama is doing to improve this country. And now people want to reward them for it? It’s unbelievable!

When will folks turn off the nonsense of the Fox News propaganda network and start taking a closer look at what the GOP wants for the future of the US.

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

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

1. Privatize Social Security. Imagine what would have happened to Social Security during the Bush economic crash of September 2008?

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

3. Extend the Bush tax cuts for millionaires that helped destroy the economy. 

4. Repeal the Constitution’s 17th amendment. Yes, for some insane reason they think that the people of the US shouldn’t have a 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 am not even joking, they have already said they plan on doing this 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’s because of this frightening agenda that I strongly support every Democratic candidate running for congress in 2010. Whether it be Congressman Boucher in VA-09 or any other Democratic Congressman or Senator running against the Tea Party Republicans.  It’s not that the Democrats are perfect; far from it. It’s that the Republican Party in the Tea Party era is dangerous to the future of the US. We’re in too precarious a spot to let these folks get any kind of real power.

Possibly the most disturbing thing about a possible Republican win this year is that it would give Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney, and the rest of the Potential 2012 GOP Presidential Candidates momentum.
