The Republican Party has been somewhat secretive about their future plans.  In the past, they have been the party of NO.  They have obstructed virtually everything that Obama and Democrats have tried to accomplish.  They have set records for personal holds and filibusters in the Senate.  They have even gone so far as to filibuster their own proposals when Democrats agreed to endorse them.  Often they have claimed that their future plans are too secret for us to know, until now.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"gop-no\" From this weekend’s Meet the Press, RNC Chairman Michael Steele wants us to believe that Republicans have not been obstructing everything President Obama has tried to achieve legislatively as a political tactic and that they really, really did want to cooperate with him<\/strong>. Yeah, sure Micheal. That’s why the GOP decided they liked the health care bill when it was Bob Dole’s idea, or something akin to Romney-care, but once a Democrat put it out there for a vote, suddenly it was "Socialism" and the Republicans all voted against it. Spare me.<\/p>\n

Of course heaven forbid it was too much trouble for the hapless David Gregory to point this out for the viewers<\/strong>. Steele also claimed that they’re "hoping for a better relationship come January" which means they’re hoping President Obama will rubber stamp a Republican agenda or they’re going to stomp their feet and hold their breath until he does. Pretty much the same nonsense we’ve seen out of them for the last two years. Obstruct and then blame the other side for not getting anything done. And in the mean time, the country suffers while they play politics<\/strong>\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The author makes a good case, but that is not proof.  However, Mitch McConnell has come right out and admitted it, as Keith Olbermann and Eugene Robinson discuss.<\/font><\/p>\n

Mitch is one bought bitch, but so are the rest of the Republican politicians.  The bottom line is this.  If any legislation, no matter how needed it may be, might make Obama look good.  Republicans will do everything in their power to obstruct it.  Jobs for Americans is the last thing they want.  That would make Obama look good.<\/font><\/p>\n

The last time Republicans were in power, there was no law they would not happily break in their attempt to establish an irreversible Republican Reich.  America survived as a republic (of sorts), only because they began to strip mine the poor and middle classes through their greed and incompetence before their takeover was complete.  Thus the Fourth Reich lasted for only eight years.  They do not care whom they have to hurt to establish a Fifth Reich.  And there is only one way to stop them.<\/font><\/p>\n
