It's scary to me that current polls show the Republican Party picking up significant power in the 2010 midterms. I just do not understand how people could be so forgetful. Don't they remember the mess that Bush left the country with in January of 2009?
And it's not just that the Republican President Bush left us a huge mess, it is that the Republican Party has made a calculated decision to stand in the way of everything President Obama and the Democrats in the House and Senate have tried to do in order to clean up that huge mess.
The Republican Party have put their own political fortunes ahead of the needs of the country time and time again since Obama took office. They have continually obstructed progress while simultaneously spreading lie after lie about the positive things that President Obama is doing to improve this country. And now American voters want to reward them for it? It is unbelievable!
When will folks turn off the noise of the Fox News propaganda network and begin taking a closer look at what the GOP wants for the future of the US.
I would love to say that it is just a return to the failed policies of Bush since that would be awful enough. But it's actually much worse than that. By the standards of the far right wing Republican Party of 2010, George W. Bush is a "socialist."
The GOP agenda for 2011 when they hope to control both the House and the Senate include the following:
1. Hand Social Security to Wall Street. What's the point of Social Security if it's not secure?
2. Dismantle Medicare. Their proposed cuts to Medicare would gut this extremely popular health care program.
3. Extend the Bush tax cuts for the very rich that helped destroy the US economy and greatly increased the deficit.
4. Get rid of the 17th amendment of the US Constitution. Yes, for some insane reason they think that the people of the US shouldn't have the right to vote for their own Senators.
5. Start ridiculous "investigations" into the Obama administration. I'm not joking, they've already said that they plan on starting investigations on anything and everything as soon as they get the majority. What makes this most ridiculous is that the Democrats never investigated any of the real crimes of President Bush, but the Republicans are threatening to investigate the made up crimes of President Obama.
It's because of this scary right wing agenda that I must endorse every Democratic candidate running for congress this year. Whether it be Congressman Boucher in the 9th district of Virginia or any other Democrat running against the Republican Tea Party. It's not that the Democratic Party is perfect; they're not. It's that the Republican Party in 2010 is clearly very dangerous to the future prospects of this country. We are in too precarious of a position to let these folks get any sort of significant power.
