jobkilling, deficit growing tax and economic policies kicked in. GOP did not WANT Bush's policies replaced, so they blocked any bill that included a return to sane fiscal policies. Now the GOP blames Obama for the results of THEIR success in keeping Bush's jobkilling, deficit growing policies the law of the land.

It just might be a winning strategy because the repuliconteabaggingreichwing
have, with plenty of help from their accomplices in the liberal-my-ass media,
flushed "our fuckups" right down the ol' memory hole. The public has a short attention
span and also a short historical memory.

to clean up eight years of Bushit. It will take them even longer with the GOP blocking them every step of the way.

They really can't have it both ways, but they're sure trying.

"Elect us, and Republicans in Congress will start doing their jobs and stop pouting."

"Elect us, and investors will start putting money into the economy again."

They set up the problems, then they present themselves as the only solution to the problem.

of the REPUBLICANS irresponsible spending habits and tax cuts to the wealthy they'll run up the deficit higher than hell when they are in office. The REPUBLICANS screw up the system, then don't do anything to fix it. The only ones with the balls to do what is necessary is the Democrats. The republicans sit on their asses and wait for the Democrats to take office to do what's needed to keep the country operating - then the REPUBLICANS that caused all the mess in the first place sit back on their fat pimply hemorrhoidal asses and point their bony shit faced fingers at the totally innocent Democrats.

Every election cycle it's the same damn thing. When are the fucking people going to wake up and keep these no good republican bastards out of office?
