...are hypocrites of the highest order.
They talk like fiscal conservatives but spend like physical drunk sailors. For example, when they took control of the government in 2001, there was a balanced budget and a projected surplus of $5 trillion dollars by this year. Not only did they disappear the $5 trillion surplus, they also added another $5 trillion onto the debt. That would be a net increase of $10 trillion dollars in debt Republicans saddled Americans with and handed off their trillion dollar deficit to Barack Obama.
Then, with the assistance of FOX-TV and talk radio, they attempt to put all the blame on Barack Obama and the Democrats. Anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear can plainly see what they did to our country. They did it under the pretext of growing our economy and following supply-side guidelines.
There are gullible people that continue to believe them, however, Republicans are mostly bald-faced liars.
If you listen to the Repubs and the Tea Partiers talk, 2008 never happened. Crash? What crash? They must have been someplace else when the stock market was sinking like a rock and dropped from 14,200 to just over 6,500 in late 2008 and early 2009? They must have been asleep when Bush and Paulson stood before America and said that our entire economic system was in danger of collapse? Either they have forgotten or they are intentionally attempting to deceive the weak-minded followers of their Party? I think it might be the latter?
Jobs? They conveniently forget that their President and their Party were losing over 700,000 jobs per month when Barack Obama was sworn into office in January 2009. That would average over 8 million lost jobs in just one year if the hemorrhaging was not stopped. Well, somebody was able to stop the hemorrhaging. Hint: It wasn't the Republicans.
The damage they did to this country is still visible for all to see and is why more than 50% of the people still blame Bush for the bad economy. The majority are not buying the bullshit that the Repubs are selling.
Even with our country facing these devastating problems with joblessness and debt, Republicans have refused to work with this President to solve the problems. They resort back to the same old time religion of cutting taxes and doing away with regulations. What in the hell do they think got us into this mess!
And they are as serious as a heart attack. They want the American people to put them back into power. They expect their moronic followers to overwhelm everyone else at the polls. They will continue to lie and spread their false propaganda until the country comes to its senses and throws every one of the bastards out of office.
Every four years, it's like Groundhog Day all over again. Some people forget everything the Republicans have done and send them to Washington once again to wreak havoc on the lives of every other American. Then, when they have sufficiently torn down everything that has been previously fixed, they expect the Democrats to clean up their mess once again. When the job is bigger than anyone expected and the progress too slow, they point their fingers and blame someone else for creating the mess. It's a never-ending cycle and people are not getting any wiser...
