GOP blocked Dem economic policy for 3yrs, forcing us to stay the course we were on in 2008. |

Too bad the corporate media, the Democrats, and the WH let the GOP get away with blaming Obama for the economic sh!thole Bush created by his fascist policies and that the GOP congress continues to protect by being so successful in blocking any significant change to that policy. The one minor stimulus that passed helped to some degree, but, imagine what real Dem policies would be able to accomplish for this nation for the long-term.
We have to stop letting GOPs have it both ways on this debate. We need to say, "YES, you've succeeded in keeping Bush's economic policies in place by blocking every significant fix offered by Democrats. Congratulations, this is YOUR economy, the one you've been voting for since 2001, and the one you continue to protect."
The GOP has prevented this nation from experiencing any forward-thinking Dem economic policies since they took over in Jan 1995.

8. I agree. Rolled over early and often to appease sociopaths who'd never actually BE appeased |
|
and certainly not STAY appeased.

2. The GOP is trying it's hardest to ruin America, dude. |
|
They screwed this nation for 8 years while Bush was in the White House and then did everything they could to block the Democrats from fixing any of it.
The GOP has become the "Do Nothing" Party.

3. Whenever someone tells me Obama ruined the |
|
economy, I always ask what they mean, because it's been all repub policys that have passed into laws, that the repubs kill every Dem bill. We're still doing all tax cuts that the repubs want.

5. Oh the super power GOP |
|
They keep blocking our economic bills even when they lost control of all legislative branchs. Or stated differently, the dems are so weak that they need super duper control of all 3 branches, training wheels and someone to hold their hands before they can overcome the influence of the ever powerful GOP.
