Even Conservatives Think Republicans Are Sabotaging the Economy to Hurt Obama

America is bleeding, people are hurting. And those idots in Washington are playing these silly
games.

Over the last 10 years financial institutions have spent over $5 Billion dollars to lobby and made campaign contributions to politicians to help them deregulate financial regulations on Wall Street!
Solution: GET THE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS NOW!

There are 22 corporate lobbyists in Washington DC for every politician. Until the American voters demand putting an end to lobbyists and Citizens United a corrupt Wall Street and Congress will continue to flourish!

No sh__.... Why is this even being debated. Mitch McConnell said his number 1 priority was to do just that. Helping America is in the double digits of his priority list.

I'm in favor of implementing infrastructure repair, as long as there is competitive bidding on the work and enough oversight to make sure the taxpayers are getting a good deal for their money

Now is not the time for "us or "them". It is the time for "we the people".

Not until Washington DC ends the corrupt practice of lobbying will the Congress in Washington function as it was meant to function!

I thought Congress worked for the American public!

Citizen United needs to go!

putting politics above the country should be considered treason

Republicans:

1. Started two wars with no plan to finish them. (Mission Accomplished)
2. Thousands of American Soldiers dead. More dying every day.
3. Over 3 trillion in taxpayer money spent on unnecessary wars.
4. Millions of innocent civillian lives also lost.
5. Over 3 trillion in revenue lost to date due to 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts.
(First time in US history taxes have ever been lowered during a time of war. How do you pay for the wars you started if you slash revenue?)
6. Revenue drop ushers in worst economy since The Great Depression.
7. Economic destabilization ushers in highest bankruptcy rate ever.
8. People lost their houses. (Highest foreclosure rate ever).
9. People lost their jobs. (Longest unemployment crisis ever.)
(Job losses total over 700K/month when President Obama is sworn in.)
10. Meanwhile, insurance companies turn record profits. Record profits on Wall St.
11. Deregulation allows more sick Americans to be dropped by their insurance companies.
("Let 'em die!")
12. Money spent to kill foreigners (OK) Money spent to help your neighbors (NO WAY).
13. Isolated USA from the rest of the world. (Solves America's problems with bombs.)
14. Rejects any Democrat-sponsored legislation. Block. Block. Block.
15. No vision - no plan for the future. Just more of the same - billionaire tax cuts = good.
16. War Criminals.

Democrats:

1. Inherited two wars they did not create; ended one, working on ending the second one.
2. Brought American Soldiers home to their families for the holidays.
3. Passed Stimulus Bill, Affordable Care Act, START treaty.
4. Saved the country from another Great Depression despite Republican obstructionism.
5. Attempting to create new jobs any way they can - even using executive orders.
6. Created programs to encourage consumers to buy houses and cars.
7. Offered companies a second chance to save themselves and keep their employees.
8. Supports social equality, civil liberties, and rejects an "every man for himself"
philosophy.
9. Stopped insurance companies from dropping sick people, and forced them to cover more
people.
10. Stopped banks and creditors from taking advantage of people and cut off many charges
(overdraft protection, late fees, interest).
11. Champions of Social Security, Medicare, and social progams that benefit millions
12. Repaired US reputation with the rest of the world via President Obama and Sec. Clinton.
13. Supports freedom of choice, freedom of religion, clean air and water
14. Believes our country is for all people (Christians, Jews, Muslims, white, black,
hispanics, believers, non believers).
15. Nobel Peace Prize Winners.

Vote Democrat.

Obama 2012.

I am 82 years old and every once in while I hear something that surprise me, this was not
one of those times. Thank you

Is it a big deal if the current or future president is a Democrat or Republican? Why can't our politicians put the American people's interest first? A sense of sacrifice is non-existent in politics, only personal profits prevail.

All I can say is - Watch Out for the 99%. Consumer backlash changed Netflix and got all the big banks to roll-back proposed Debit card fees. Don't think they are not powerful enough to vote out anyone who coddles to the 1% come Nov 2012.

I thought belief was used to describe things that may or may not be true.
Many GOP representatives openly admitted it on a number of occasions.

Why is it just Occupy Wall Street? Why aren't we Occupying Congress, who allow things to go on as they do? Why aren't we Occupying Board of Directors Meetings, who are the ones giving out those big CEO bonuses, while simultaneously deciding to "do more with less," thereby not only failing to create jobs but also killing existing jobs? Why aren't we Occupying the PERSONS who make these decisions?

Modern Republicans damned up the drip drip drip of trickle down... Only to fuel Corporate GREED... The Haves need more, More, MORE... They live to hoard Dollars...

payback is going to be a #$%$

then if you are a conservative who knows what's going on, how can you justify for people who put party ahead of country?

In other developments, grass is green and the sky blue. Every rational person already know this. It's too bad there are so many idiots that continue to defend a party that puts politics over getting people back to work.

wow that's saying something. I hope the people remember who to blame in the next election.

Sen. Mitch McConnell said that the Republicans number one priority is to make Obama a one term president. So none of this should be a surprise.
