I don't know why The Republicans complain so much about the crappy economy
Not only, are they the architects of the economy's crappiness, they're also hell bent on keeping it as crappy as possible.
They're like people who knock down a building, build a brick wall around the vacant lot, tear up all the streets to the area and then bitch about the fact that another building wasn't put up to replace it.
They do their damnedest to hamstring the President, and then blame HIM for being divisive.
They blame the government for causing the country's problems, but gloss over the fact that whenever they're put in charge, they're the ones who are actually causing the country problems from their government policies.
They complain that people are "dependent on the government", but they obstruct any way that the government can help working class people obtain the kind of work that get them to be independent.
They're hostile to workers, they're hostile to women who want decent wages, they undercut education to help people get better jobs, they help to send good jobs overseas, they fight to keep trickle down tax cuts around that drain capital from working people and slow down the economy.
I don't get these people, they're cutting all of our throats slowly and they resent the fact that people are trying to stop them.
Hopefully, the voters will fix their little red wagons.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021405008Wait a minute the 0bama campaign is trying like hell to convince us that things are so much better now than in 2008, then Mr Dorkio comes along and smashes that with a sledgehammer and tries to blame republicans for the economic mess that Romney will be inheriting in just a few months.
0bama had his chance, he failed to make things better, time to give the next guy a chance.

1. hypocrites
they are hypocrites, but too stupid to understand what that really means
For a bunch of stupid people we seem to get it right a lot of the time. Like when we said Arab Spring was going to lead to chaos, we were told we were just being a bunch of racist morons. We were told that the Muslim brotherhood is a highly secular group and called bigots when we didn't believe it. Yeah we are a bunch of morons.

2. It's all a calcullated political strategy to regain total control of the government.
Hypocrisy doesn't matter.
Lying doesn't matter.
Damaging the country doesn't matter.
Destroying people's lives doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters is regaining total control of the government.
But it's also based on the premise that most Americans are stupid.
They are counting on no one being able to see through their plot.
They break a glass and then point to the other guy and say, "he did it." and expect their word to be accepted without question.
That's the sum total of their political strategy for the last 4 years.
It's beginning to look like Americans aren't quit as dim as they hoped.
Just their supporters are.
0bama's plan in a nutshell yet you idiots can't see it.
Maybe after you are sitting in the dark with no access to DU because your coal power plant was shut down, you might get a clue of the destruction that 0bama is bringing on us, but at least you get birth control pills for free, right?

4. They know most people don't pay close attention
and that the president gets the lion's share of the blame (or credit) on the economy, no matter what. So, they're counting on that to swing low info voters.
I know it's only the president's fault if he is a repuke, if he is a dem then it's still the repuke's fault.
