was recently revealed at a GOP men's breakfast forum. Women were allowed to attend and a lady at our table today had been going to this breakfast for a while when this theme came up.
What she said was that the GOP men in this forum fully admitted that the national GOP mission was to totally destroy the middle class. What was even more revealing was that they would use the national media to blame the destruction on Obama.

(10,602 posts)Our county Dems have a monthly breakfast and there was a lady at our table who has been to these GOP breakfasts. I guess ladies also attend. She used to go occasionally to this event. At one of these breakfasts the GOP men were discussing the GOP aim to destroy the middle class and blame it on Obama. That mission is behind their theme that Obama has "made matters" worse talking point. It is about twisting reality so the Dems get the blame and not the GOP.
Realize the MSM is in on the whole thing as well. The GOP's plan with media assistance is to paint all the debates as losses no matter what happens. And if you look at what the MSM has done with the last two it should b obvious that we have a problem.
Ever notice how the GOP puts out talking points blaming Democrats for the things they are doing? They are even painting Obama as "radical on abortion".

(8,377 posts)They just want cheap labor and zero accountability for business. It just happens that those things destroy the middle class. And that is ultimately harmful to the companies the Republicans are trying to help. But they don't care. They are just after short term profits wherever and however they can get them. And if that leaves scorched earth, well, they'll cross that bridge when they get there.
There is still plenty of wealth to suck out America's middle class. And the two big prizes are the Social Security and Medicare funds.

Your small group may behave differently but I see them as an outlier, not part of a gestalt.
