Wouldn’t you want to get your hands on the original Constitution so you can tear it apart?

Question by : Wouldn’t you want to get your hands on the original Constitution so you can tear it apart?
The political calculus of the Republican Party over the past two years has been simple: frustrate the president’s agenda and especially his economic plans. Then blame the White House for the meager recovery, near double-digit unemployment, and exploding federal deficit.

A poorly performing economy and jobless recovery, the GOP leadership believed, would hurt Obama and his party at the polls in 2010 – especially when combined with fear-mongering about the deficit and “intrusive government,” appeals to racism, male supremacy and nativism, and unrelenting vilification of the president.

Last night’s election results proved them right. Enough people let their frustrations get the best of them, gave in to their worst demons, and bought into the right-wing spin to turn the midterm elections into a major victory for right-wing extremism.

With the unemployment rate stuck at 10 percent and the federal deficit at a record level, the political ground was fertile for a right-wing comeback, especially when you throw in truly unprecedented amounts of money funding Republican candidates and their demagogy.

Had the unemployment rate been 7 percent and falling, and had the economy showed more tangible signs of revival, the outcome would have been very different. Probably the Republicans and the tea party candidates would have registered some gains, but nothing on the scale that they did.

Any fool could have seen this one coming.

It’s been rendered basically meaningless since socialism has been enacted, about 15 years ago.

The role of the opposition in Government is to oppose the majority party.

That in essence is wht the two party system is all about.

Now America agrees with the Republicans and has elected them to stop the Obama agenda.

You sound just like Obama at todays news conference. Blame everything but the fact that people don’t like the laws the Democrats passed, the ones they proposed, their policies, and their agenda.

We don’t want what Obama was selling.
