Are republicans hurting the economy to gain advantage? These guys seem to think so.

Damn they are on to us. They figured out that the GOP made the dems pass the healthcare bill, are forcing Obama to raise taxes as soon as he can, and making the dems spend like there is no tomorrow.

corporations are as well, with this lame ass excuse "we can't hire because we just don't know what is going to happen".

Just what in the hell does that mean? Taxes have never been lower, they are making record profits. Why don't they just give up all pretense, and admit they want a true fascist state.

It only works because the media is totally on their side.

12. Absolutely. A desperate populace is a slave populace. nt

Liberalism is all about having a slave populace. Part of the population works in order to hand over their money to the govt, the rest of the population is totally dependent on what the govt takes from the producers to give to them.

Obama had 2 years where his party owned the govt, and during that time there was zero improvement. You can not blame that on the repukes. Currently the repukes in the house are trying to save what is left of this country, only to be countered by the senate and the white house at every turn.

It gets even better I heard something on Rush today about how the EPA is working on a scheme that will pretty much kill the coal industry. This will kill jobs and make energy prices necessarily skyrocket (as Obama said about his plans in 2008). These goons have the nerve to blame all the destruction that Reid, Pelosi, and Obama have unleashed on us on the repukes.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

I kind of feel sorry for this guy. By posting on DU he already shows he's not the sharpest knife in the draw. By posting the last statement he shows his intelligence level is below that of the dumbest rock in a box of rocks.

“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

Just how is that a "lame ass" excuse?  Business planning is an educated crapshoot; any uncertainty makes it that much more, well, uncertain.  Will four more years of the marxist-in-chief really result in a full-blown socialist society?  Will our assets be confiscated for the state, ala GM bondholders?  Will they pick winners and losers, with us on the losing end?  Extra employees as a millstone around the neck is the last thing companies want.  Not Hiring At This Time.

I'd say the answer is "probably yes" and hiring is definitely a poor idea.  The Socialists are likely to mandate all sorts of benefits and things and make it hard to get rid of unneeded employees.

The USSR fails, Cuba continues to fail, the EU fails and you know why?

It's not that the concept of communism is by it's nature a failure. No it is because capitalism and freedom made it fail. Like how all the NFL teams made the Detroit Lions fail, completely. It was not the Lions's fault.

1+1=POTATO and BTW if you don't agree with that you are anti-science.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I don't know about other Republicans, they can decide for themselves, but I'm not going to carelessly throw good money into a bad market.  In fact, any type of investing and business dealings I'm doing currently are very calculated.  And I'm unwilling to take risks that I took during the Bush years, risks that were win-win for a broad range of people.  Being extra cautious is working, I'm making money.  Of course, unlike the libs, we conservatives knew what would happen with Dems in office and prepared appropriately.

Does that mean that what I'm doing is hurting the economy?  No doubt it's not helping, but I'm not going to compromise my family's security for the sake of a bunch of left-wing kooks (pardon the redundancy).

Look primitives, here's the scoop:

1) Republicans/conservatives are not going to participate to the extent that we normally would given we are in the midst of an economy created by an administration that we view correctly as being incompetent.

2)  Republicans/conservatives knew what was going to happen with a Dem in office and we prepared.  You didn't.  Quit crying about not being intelligent enough to know, or being too proud to permit yourself to see, what was going to happen.  It just makes you look more stupid than you already appear.

3)  Republicans/conservatives realize that the wheels of change, especially in this country, turn slowly, and even moreso when it comes to economic foundations.  If the gov't passes some liberal law to try and govern business, within very little time at all we are capable of finding 100 loopholes to legally circumvent what you dolts were hoping to accomplish.  By the time you get around to finally plugging 50 of the 100 loopholes, we've found another 30 in the original law and have discovered 20 loopholes each in the 50 plugs you passed.  We're too fast compared to how slowly gov't moves, and without a doubt we're too smart for you.

Libs, you don't stand a chance.

This is EXACTLY what the Obozo wants you primitives. WAKE.THE.****.UP.
Look at gas prices, look the unemployment rate, look at all the uncertainty in the U.S., look at the interest rates. Need any more clues, you morons? :bird:
