Poll question: Unemployment now at 9.1%... are Republicans trying to tank the economy before 2012 election ?
   
:tinfoilhat:

Poll result (71 votes)
Yes   (68 votes, 96%)   Vote
No   (1 votes, 1%)   Vote
Other (see my post)   (2 votes, 3%)   Vote

Of course that's what going on. There is zero possibility that Obama's policies could fail. In fact only a racist could ever consider that anything Obama does is wrong. So what's going on is the rethugs have been sabotaging all the efforts of our young, articulate, and clean president who just 2 short years before he was elected would have been fetching Bill Clinton interns, I mean coffee.

1. Given all we've seen, I don't think the tin-foil hat icon is even necessary.

2. They absolutely are, my dear steve2470...   Updated at 6:21 PM
   
And they do NOT care who comes down in the wreckage.

As long as it isn't them, of course...

:mad:

The words in both of those posts are technically correct. The problem is they are directed at the wrong people.
Obama has preached and promised fundamental change of America, and so far we have seen how his plan involves tearing us down, then rebuilding us in his own image. The armed forces do this to recruits, in basic training they break you down to rebuild you in a manner where you will be a good soldier, airman, seaman (maybe a coprseman), or Marine.

5. "The single most important thing we want to achieve...
   
is for President Obama to be a one-term president." - Mitch McConnell, October 29, 2010

For years that was the goal of the democrats, to get rid of Bush, now all of a sudden opposing your opponets is a sin.

6. Their entire motivation going into the 2010 elections...
   
... their avowed primary purpose, was to make Obama a one-term president.

If they must destroy the country in order to "save" it from someone they say is destroying it, then they will.

-----------------------------

No, the GOP is trying to stop further damage until they can get more numbers in 2012 to start reversing what the left has been doing to us for years.

9. The entire narrative is so similar to 1979
   
With framing the Democratic President as being "weak" and "ineffective", energy prices going sky high, economy tanking. I feel very nervous about the 2012 election.

You should be nervous.

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.

Liberals so badly want to control the actions of others.  The primitives hate it when people act in their own interest when it doesn't matchup to what they view as being someone's own best interest.  They can't even manage their own lives, but want to do it to others.  Doesn't work that way, primitives.

Personally, I have no reason to pour good money down the drain.  Unlike you libs, we conservatives knew what Dear Leader's foolish policies would do and we prepared well in advance to batten down the hatches and ride it out.  You didn't.  Sucks to be you.

Lets see here now. The Dims took over in '07 and tanked the economy hard to get Obie One elected. They did such a good job screwing it up that their selected Fearful Leader can't and has never come close to getting it out of the shitter. He's such an incompetent POS that he's come frighteningly close to the lever that'll flush it all into the sewer.

Yeah it's all the GOP.  ::)

Umm, unemployment was a little over 4% under Bush, the Democrats took over the House in 2007 and unemployment has risen since, Bush went along with the Democrats frivolous spending and Obama continued frivolous spending, and it's the Republicans who seem to want to get things back on track, and after all of those facts you can ask if Republicans are trying to tank the economy when the Democrats have succeeded in doing it?

While reading on DU the other day I stumbled upon a DUmmie named THUNDER HANDS. I had never noticed him before. I thought it might be A sock of Stevenumbers or something. Then I realized it said THUNDER HANDS and not THUNDER FIST.

A common trait of the liberal mental disease (LMD) is blaming others for one's own failings. The liberal's concepts have always failed but it is only because of mean, stupid, racist, realists that it has. Liberals are sure oft proven failures are due to:

A) Wrong person as the dictator.
B) Civilized people are too dumb/self-centered/not enlightened/mean/racist/etc to let Utopia happen.

For example, the great communist Utopias (USSR, Cuba) only failed because of the USA not supporting either enough.

Liberalism. Is. A. Mental. Disease.
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.

Poll question: Unemployment now at 9.1%... are Republicans trying to tank the economy before 2012 election ?

Anyone remember the Stalin-era propaganda recounted in The Gulag Archipelago about 'Wreckers,' which were the supposed culprits being rooted out during the Terror of the 30s, as a scapegoat for Soviet economic failure?  Tens of millions killed outright, starved, or sent to penal labor camps (A slow version of killing, for a large percentage of them) rather than countenance any doubts about the the 'Little Father' and his policies.  

All that was old and evil is new again in Progressiveland.

The GOP controls one-half of one-third of the government for less than five months, yet all the problems of the world's problems can be laid at their feet.
