Republican Strategy: Spend Like a Drunken Sailor When Republican in WH, Scream Bloody Murder About Deficit When Dem in White House...

.........

Republicans are recreating the Great Depression and doing it with a vengeance. Their policies are ideologicaally based, not pragmatic, and they are bound and determined to thwart the will of the people in order to create a libertarian utopia. It doesn't matter to them how much harm they do to the average American or what the average American wants from government. Their mantras of small government, privatization of any and every public agency or program will carry the day despite any cost. According to them the Great Depression should have been allowed to proceed as long as corporate profits were up. The fact that unemployment was 25% was no big deal. Their advice to the unemployed: "Get a job, you lazy, shiftless suckers!" The prison-industrial complex will continue to expand especially for people of color who will find themselves incarcerated for drug offenses and petty crime while fraudulent bankers and rating agencies will only be bailed out when they get in trouble. Thus a libertarian utopia will have been achieved in which there is a small class of very wealthy people while the vast majority becomes increasingly immiserated. Sure, there will be a few lone voices crying out in the wilderness, a few disgruntled people who won't go along with the Republican program. They will be characterized as losers, socialists and people who have renounced the American dream.

2. The conservanazis and teabaggers are going to make things worse.

Unless voters wake up. If they are drinking the conservanazi kool-aid put out by Fox, then we are doomed.

4. To Republicans, the Great Depression was "The Good Ol' Days."

They had all the money, and could afford to continue to live lavishly while the peasants were willing to work for them for almost nothing. THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE! If you have nothing, you shouldn't have any say in government, dammit! "Republican" is just another synonym for a selfish, self-centered, hater of all people who don't belong to your club. I have to admit, even with the Republicans I am friends with (yes, I have several GOP friends), the overlying theme to EVERYTHING is that no one is as good as they are, so fuck 'em. To the person, even people who I consider close friends, when it comes to the bottom line, if they have to pay one thin dime in taxes, it's only because of the welfare queens and the homos and the people who don't deserve it. Republicanism truly is a pathology.
