kpete (34,836 posts) Conversation w/ a Repub Bank President: "The GOP Congress is to blame for the lackluster economy"Last edited Sun Jul 8, 2012, 12:18 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)SAT JUL 07, 2012 AT 10:43 AM PDT My conversation w/ a Republican Bank President byZacapoetFollow .......... Yesterday I ran into Jim and his wife at Starbucks and they noticed my Obama 2012 button, though they didn't make a big deal about it. We talked about the jobs numbers, how things could be much better. And then Jim made a startling statement: "The GOP Congress is to blame for the lackluster economy." His reasoning, which his wife agreed with, was that the Tea Party has taken over the agenda and they are creating so much uncertainty that business is leery of jumping into the investment pool. He went on to say that this November the Country has to get behind Obama so that the Tea Party can finally be marginalized. In other words--his Party has to lose at the National level in order to reconstitute itself back to a reasonable facsimile of the America that works for the common good. Jim and I discussed the need for infrastructure and how government spending now, while the private sector was deleveraging and investment was stagnant, would be the remedy to picking up GDP, until enough consumers were working and deleveraged and able to be self-generating. Obviously, hearing this from a decent, conservative, reasonable man; a pillar of our community, made me feel that the message is finally getting thru. We on the 'left' must realize that ideological purity is not the path to electoral victory. Jim is voting for Obama because he represents the solid alternative, not because he wants to live in the Paris Commune.

Did anyone see a picture of KPete yet?
Yep, the powerless, self-destructing Tea Party created the huge uncertainty about healthcare costs, the fears of ever-increasing tax rates, and while they were at it, turned the VRWC weather machine to "HOT" in order to fan the flames of "global climate change."
Don't tell anyone but that model of VRWC weather machine has been replaced with one that has a special "global climate change" setting. The new machine causes it to get hot sometimes and cold other times. By doing it that way it tricks normal people into thinking that it's just the weather. Only brilliant minds like those at the DUmp can see the real picture.
To be fair, it helps a lot that those brilliant minds have somehow concluded that all the droughts in Africa and the Middle East that have been recorded for the last 6000 years are NOW caused by climate change because they are also happening to this continent.
Making fun of those with significant cognitive disabilities? What a tough guy you are. Asshole.
I missed that one. Are our industries supposed to be the cause of all that to? Even for the last 6000 years? Did we send pollution back in time? I ask these stupid questions because nothing they come up with surprises me any more.
They do have a theory that the dinosaurs were wiped out due more to global warming than an asteroid...because they farted too much. Seriously! Saw it on Scientific American or some similar site about a month ago.
