“I can’t stand it, I know you planned it…”

And plan it they did. Even before Mitch McConnell’s infamous, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president” quote was uttered last July, the fix had been in for some time. After Obama’s thrashing of John McCain in the 2008 presidential election, many republicans were nervous about going up against such a popular new president.

However, Senate Minority Leader, McConnell rallied the troops by telling them if we just stick together and say ‘no’ to everything…well, you know the rest. So, say ‘no’ they did. Or in some cases–see John Boehner–it was a hearty HELL NO! They actually believed, if they blocked everything under the sun by using the execrable filibuster in ways that no one has ever seen (and in ways their predecessors never intended back in 1842), they could take back the congress in 2010 and the presidency in 2012.

Unfortunately, they have been–at least partly–correct. They did take back the House, and but for a couple of borderline lunatic candidates (see Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell), they might have taken the senate too. Now of course, they have their eyes set upon the White House and the senate.

To do this, they have not only said ‘no’ to the solutions the President has proposed to jump-start the economy, they have said ‘no’ to the solutions they have proposed themselves in the past.

1. You bet it is

Mitch is totally Un-American. He'd gladly wreck the country in order to win. Even if the prize is a crumbling piece of crap.

4. I know we are a year away, but I sure hope the American electorate remember

these happenings like they were yesterday. Lets vote these dirt bags back under there rocks, from where they came.

5. That's step 1, identify the threat. Now what's the plan to defeat it?

'cause 24 million people looking for a job are going to be too busy to feel sorry for you, and they are going to vote for someone who promises to make their lives better. Whether they will believe that is Obama after living with this for 4 years we will know after the next election.

So how do you fight, and defeat, sabotage?

6. If America had witnessed Obama fighting FOR us and republicans BLOCKING him

they'd side with Obama, and McConnell's plan would fail utterly.

But that's NOT what we've seen, is it?
