The past two years have proved that the Conservatives and GOP have no plans, ideas, or policies except attack, attack, and attack again.
I don’t think Obama needs 8 years to fix the damage Bush did, re-building takes longer then destroying, why not give him 16 years, seems like a good plan to me.
Of the things you listed the only one most people (well most Conservative people) would question is the Tea Party is racist, but remember that their slogan is “We want our Country back!” Which makes me wonder “What Country?” Does America only belong to you.
Be fair. Eight years of Bush was eight years of Democratic obstruction. Now the roles are reversed.
In this era of hyper-partisanship the best ideas are immediately discounted by virtue of coming from the other side of the aisle. Case in point, “we need to repeal Health Care and fix it.” The mere notion of “fix it” implies that the bill works - it was just not written by them.
We are effectively being led by 100 eight year-olds.
If there had been serious “obstruction” from the democrats, instead of being drowned out by the cacophony in the media, who would have died in Afghanistan AND especially– Iraq?
That same cacophony is now taken with a cup of tea. It is a poison to real discussion, observation, or resolution of our country’s REAL problems.
Both sides of the aisle have very polished noise machines.
And as with all racket it should be turned down.
Blind obedience to one political view is no different than blind hatred. After all a person can be “Borked” or” swift boated”.
Remember politicians seek the acquisition and retention of power. With regards to wars remember that without provocation or threat to the US , Clinton attacked Serbia who was trying to halt an internal civil insurrection propagated by Albanian separatists.
Wow! Now the shoe is on the other foot. The Liberal Left ‘W’ Hating Media did same to ‘W’ for his entire Tenure as our President, now it’s seen as ‘Racism’
Obama has failed due to his continuation of many of ‘W’s Failed Policies.
^ W blocked all major news channels except Fox News numerous times, sometimes booting them off of Air Force One. How’d even a weak statement against Fox News by Obama get handled?
“\Be fair. Eight years of Bush was eight years of Democratic obstruction. Now the roles are reversed.”
Nope. The Democrats didn’t have much spine when it came to Iraq, or tax cuts, or nearly anything else. Fast forward to healthcare reform, and they were still bending over in strong wind.
I wonder what America would look like if it had an actual left-wing part in Congress.
