1. But isn't that the idea? To portray anything Obama does as "weak"? |
|
I swear, if I were of a suspicious nature, I'd think half the PL is on the Koch Bros. payroll.

3. The core message from the right and the left ... "Obama Bad". |

And the goal of that message is to get moderate Dems to stay home and note vote.

That's a great rhetorical trick, isn't it? And will we be grateful when the hits to the poor and middle class are "nowhere as bad" as that?

4. Any cuts to infrastructure and social spending during the Bush Depression |
|
are a mistake.
We need more revenue from the rich and much more spending on infrastructure and social safety nets.
Buying the Republican frame of Hooverian cut cut cutting instead of FDR spending is a mistake we have seen fail in our history.
Compromising again and again with the modern GOP legislators whose main goal is to make everyone so miserable that they don't turn out to vote Democratic is a mistake and we are just wondering when and where our president and Democratic legislators will draw the lines.
GOP ideas CRASHED our entire economy.
Tax cuts to the rich during the Bush reign did not create jobs. Millions of jobs were lost. That system failed miserably for 90% of us.
