President Obama NAILS IT in one sentence
by MinistryOfTruth
This is what it comes down to.
The GOP hopes that if they can make enough Americans suffer it will hurt President Obama.
The GOP has an agenda that hurts 99% of Americans and only benefits the wealthiest 1%. They ran on that agenda in 2012 with Romney/Ryan and lost badly. The American people have rejected the GOP's "1%ers Only" agenda and will continue to do so no matter what screeching Teabaggers believe.
The majority of Americans who aren't brainwashed Fox viewers overwhelmingly want Representatives in Congress that will make our lives better, not harder.
The choice is clear, if you want a sane and functioning Government that tries to make life better for the average American you should vote for Democrats.
<...>
If you want to coddle billionaires and corporate interests while prattling on about Fox News talking points with a bunch of dopey tea bags hanging from your hate then please proceed, Tea Party . . .
Millions of Americans voted to re-elect President Barack Obama in 2012. Obama won. This Republican Government Shutdown isn't just about killing Obamacare, it is about overturning the results of the 2012 Presidential Election. Millions of Americans voted for a government that makes our lives better, not harder.
This is what a dying Republican party looks like. I'm glad President Obama has brought out the BIG STICK.
The Tea Party and their GOP cohorts have decided that if they can make life harder for Americans they can blame Obama for it. That plan IS backfiring on the GOP, as it should.
I stand with our President 110% on this. Republicans are trying to make life harder on the average American. The only thing the American public should reward the GOP with is our scorn.
<...> Please listen to the President's speech in its' entirety if you get the chance. This is Obama at his best, hammering the GOP for threatening to wreck the economy. I will try to get a full transcript up as soon as I can.

(81,267 posts)7. Well, maybe that's what a dying republi-CON party looks like, but
it's not dying fast enough to please me.
They're taking too damn long.

(297,240 posts)9. True FACT Most People do.. One would think they voted
for congressional reps to make their life easier. Seems it's eric cantor who should be addressed.. isn't he the one pulling boner's strings for kochs.
Wonder if the People in his District are happy with him now? Do any have government jobs that are being furloughed? If so.. are they masochists and don't care?
Thanks PS
