How Bad Will Government Get?

[affrayer]

I'm listening to the republicans on C-SPAN and I have the answer...it's going to get a lot worse.

Seriously, nothing but flatulent morons and insidious fools telling the country why it's all Obama's fault.

Just look at this:



Now why do the republicans blame the increase of gas prices on Obama? Perhaps they don't want the country to look at the republicans hiding behind the curtain.

[Drale]

1. Why?

because everything bad that has ever happened can be blamed on the black man in some way according to the right wing.

[affrayer]

4. True

Not only can it be blamed, but the failures for the last eight years under Bush Jr and the republicans will be blamed.

[elocs]

2. If things get worse, Republicans will blame the Obama agenda.

If things get better, Republicans will seek to take the credit because they put the brakes on the Obama agenda.

[affrayer]

6. True

That's standard operating procedure for republicans, when they fail, and they fail a lot, they blame the democrats and when the democrats clean up the republican mess, the republicans take credit for it.

There is going to be so much flatulence in the House that the roof will raise...

3. They won't get through with us until we're the new Somalia! nt

7. True

There is no "patriotism" in profit and no profit in patriotism.

5. McConnell has been pretty upfront with the "Blame Obama and The Dems" strategy

[affrayer]

9. Maybe

If you mean by "up front" 24/7, then yes! But they are not the only ones: http://mediamatters.org/blog/201101050014">Despite Admitted GOP Strategy Of Partisanship, Washington Post Blames Democrats

Never mind that Democrats didn't pass a health care reform package that created a single payer system, or even one that included a public option, but rather passed a package that reflected longtime Republican health care priorities, like an individual mandate. To the Washington Post, the fact that Republicans voted against a plan chock-full of ideas they had long advocated means the Democrats weren't behaving in a bipartisan manner. And never mind that the Democrats passed a stimulus that was significantly smaller, and more tax-cut laden, than many economists, from Nobel Prize-winner Paul Krugman to Christina Romer, thought was necessary -- and did so in an effort to win Republican support. To the Washington Post, the fact that Republicans almost unanimously opposed it despite those concessions means the Democrats weren't behaving in a bipartisan manner.

Insanity? Well the right wing base is buying it hook line and sinker...and this can only lead to another round of extremely bad government.

8. I fully expect them to not up the debt limit and default on our debts

worst fucking nightmare ever.

[emulatorloo]

11. COC and American Crossroads donors would not like that one bit

So realistically speaking I think it is a big bluff. But hell you never know with these nuts.

[affrayer]

13. Don't forget...

You're referring to the same cretins who voted for the republicans in the first place...it may take them 10 or 20 years before they catch on they've been had.

[rurallib]

15. These people are fucking idiots

We'll all be crying like Boner soon enough.

[affrayer]

18. If That's The Case...

I'm going to get a really big gravel too...

[affrayer]

12. Don't worry!

So far they seem determined to break every campaign promise they made. Why should the debt ceiling be any different?

BTW: Get ready because in the secrecy of night they will be taking tens and maybe hundreds of billions of dollars "off budget." That way they can pretend they cut spending.

10. As bad as the corporatists want it to get

Plutocracy using a false "austerity" measure to rob the American people blind. Government by militarists, banksters and globalists.

[affrayer]

14. When government and corporations join together...

It's called fascism...Hitler would be proud!

[saras]

16. How bad will government get?

Caligula. Vlad the Impaler. Elizabeth of Bathory. Joseph Stalin. Pol Pot. Adolph Hitler. Idi Amin. Pope Clement V. Tamerlane.

[affrayer]

17. You forgot...

Bush Jr.

BTW: Can you name a single policy of his that didn't fail? War on terrorism? Ownership Society? Education? Highway Maintenance? Just one!!!!

And my bet, it's going to be even worse now that the republicans are back in power.

[Poboy]

19. Answering the OP, VERY bad...and Obama is a willing participant at this point.

[affrayer]

20. It's awfully hard to disagree with that.

While no where as bad as Bush Jr, Obama is turning out to be one heck of a steaming pile of disappointment.
