Obstructionists Win, Win, Win!!!

It is a win, win, win for Republican conservative obstructionists!!!  There is absolutely no reason why they should give Obama an inch and he knows it.  Having the economy tank for the next year is the greatest political ploy they could ever hope for.  It is worth way more than any political cartoon or advertisement.  The pain and suffering inflicted on the massas only helps their cause.

The first win  for Republican obstructionists is that high unemployment and economic crisis will get Obama out of the White House.  If there was any meaningful dip in the unemployment rate, people would tend to give him a second chance.  Without it, Obama is extremely vulnerable.  So the Senate and the White House will give the Republicans complete control over our lives.

The second win comes by destroying public sector unions and eliminating collective bargaining at the state and local levels.  The public embraces this one because they hate unions anyway for the pensions and benefits that the private sector doesn't have.  So you have the rise of Republican Governors who are arrogantly throwing their weight around making cuts to the middle class public sector because the States are broke.

The third win comes in the way of destroying the social safety net which they have been trying to do for years.  Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are programs that cost too much now and must be modified.  Universal Health Care must be overturned and this is the time to do it.  They get everything they ever wanted and they do it by "starving the beast" and never raising tax revenue in any way, shape, or form.

There is no incentive for Republicans to cooperate with Obama even if it means destroying America's economy along with the rest of the world.  By controlling the House they control the purse strings with no regard for the effects on the poor and the middle class.  Their goal is complete political control and no one can stop them.

Sadly, there is no one in the Democratic Party who will expose them for what they are.  No one will challenge them, openly debate them, and take them on.  People are too complacent today to even demonstrate against them.  They are masters of manipulation and politics.  They are so good, they get people to vote against their self-interests!  Game over, they win, and we all lose.  Wake up America!
