Conservative Finally Admits That, Yes, The GOP Is Rooting Against Economic Recovery
June 16, 2012 By

Crossposted from ProudToBeAFilthyLiberalScum.com

Since the night of President Obama’s inauguration, there’s been a concerted effort by the GOP to stall or reverse any economic recovery. They have blocked every jobs bill, refused any increase in revenue and invented non-scandal after non-scandal for the sole purpose of making the president a one-termer. Because, you know, they’re patriots or something. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/25/robert-draper-anti-o...

We here at Addictinginfo have been ringing the alarm about this since we first went online in late 2010 and liberal commentators did so before we even existed. The “liberal” mainstream media, on the other hand, was too busy patting itself on the back for being as “fair and balanced” as Fox by blaming the instant gridlock on everyone except the GOP. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/01/03/bills-republicans-hav...

But we knew better and we’ve been waiting for the rest of the media and the Democratic Party to catch up. Slowly but surely, they have. The question is out there now: Is the GOP deliberately stalling the recovery and are they rooting for America to fail? The answer is an unequivocal, “YES!” and even some conservatives are hinting that it’s the undeniable truth. Rob Gray, a former a senior adviser to Mitt Romney during his 2003 campaign and current media strategist had this to say in an interview:

“I am buying that they’re rooting against the economy somewhat because they think that, you know, the short-term pain of, you know, the next four months is much better than having additional four years of pain under Obama. they believe that government should spend less and that they have better economic ideas then the president does. So, you know, if we have to suffer between now and November to get a better president for four years, they’re all for it.

Well, that’s nice. Except it hasn’t been just four months, it’s been almost four years and their “rooting” has caused untold millions of Americans to suffer. Why? So the GOP has a better shot at the White House. Never mind that actual people are losing their homes, their jobs, their health and their lives; that’s not important. The little people never are. Party before country or, as Mitch McConnell said and absolutely meant, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

What a patriot!

    Funny how the party that stands to gain politically from a weak economy come 2012 is obstructing any and all efforts by this administration to help promote job growth while protecting hedge fund managers low tax rates and corporate welfare.

    Obama is helped by the the Republicans move to the right. By November Romney will likely seem a lot less right leaning than he did during the primaries. To help himself Obama needs to deal effectively with the hand he is dealt, which includes the negativity you mention and Republican obstructionists in Congress. If Obama doesn't communicate effectively with the center-left and the center-right, he could lose in November.

    How can he effectively move to the right enough to satisfy all those on the right that only have a desire to destroy him? He can't. Therefore, if we are to ever again be the great Country we used to be, we must take the house and Senate, and re-elect Barack Obama.

    Obama can't move that far to the right, nor should he attempt to. Friedman's points are that Obama should have a plan to attract the center-right and center-left and that the plan Obama has now may not be good enough.

    Thank you. I share your prospective. For many who are neither strongly conservative or strongly liberal, Obama might be seen as failing to deal effectively with Republican negativity.

    You place an incompetent politician, who has no experience or credentials for his job position, into the Executive office, he fails miserably . . . and you blame Republicans.

    I know, the facts, truth, and reality is just a bitch to contend with for the Grand OBSTRUCTION Party isn't it Bubba? While your group of half-wits were doing everything they could to destroy the economy, Obama was doing everything he could to fix your economic abyss and help the middle and poor classes of America. And what did the GOP do for America, and the American people?

    Trying to make Obama look bad isn't working. Try explaining when Obama became President, the entire Grand OBSTRUCTION PARTY decided to practice OBSTRUCTION, HOLDING THE COUNTRY HOSTAGE TWICE, FILIBUSTERING AND BLOCKING ALL JOB CREATION, "SOCIAL ENGINEERING", SOCIAL DARWINISM, A WAR AGAINST AMERICA, WOMEN, THE MIDDLE AND POOR CLASSES, EDUCATION, UNIONS AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, VOTER DISENFRANCHISEMENT, VOTER SUPPRESSION, DESTROYING THE POST OFFICE AND OVER 100,000 POSTAL JOBS,,SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, MORE DEBT PRODUCING TAX CUTS FOR YOUR FILTHY RICH ARISTOCRATIC MASTER, AND JUST PLAIN OLD DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

    So tell us all agian about the credentials of your Presidential candidate?

    Isn't that just like the Right?

    You placed an incompetent politician who had no experience or credentials (other than a term as the least effective gov. of a large State whose only claim to fame was having more people executed than any other governor in modern history---save now for Perry who is rapidly gaining), into the Executive office where he failed miserably in everything he did ---and you blame Democrats. Go figure.

    Let's try facts from surveys of small businesses by the US Chamber of Commerce.

    • “Concerns about over-regulation are the highest we’ve seen in the past year, with 42% of small businesses citing it as a major concern and 52% citing regulations as the top threat to their business, increasing 9 percentage points since last June."

    • "What do concerns about regulations and policies mean for small businesses? Stalled growth. 80% of small businesses surveyed report the taxation, regulation, and legislation from Washington make it harder for their business to hire more employees. Nearly three-out-of-four (73%) of small businesses surveyed cite the recent health care law as an obstacle to growing their business and hiring more employees.”

    Do small businesses support Obama's policies?

    "Sixteen percent of small businesses approve of the job President Obama is doing."

    Let's try facts rather then you spewing accusations.

    Every business group in America is fighting that Marxist Liberal in the White House that included the black Chamber of Commerce.

    “Harry Alford, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, went off on President Obama’s anti-business philosophy on Friday in an interview with Laura Ingraham.

    Alford called the administration “Marxist” and “fanatical” and said, “They might as well put on the brown shirts and swastikas.”

    Anyone who has been watching the Fox network for the past four years could not miss the obvious, that the Republican Party, the Party of NO., the tea baggers, the slumbering fellow with orange skin, all have devoted themselves to destruction of the economy and the U.S. Government, if necessary, to forward their agenda of regaining the White House in 2012 for their Wall Street billionaires and Reagan Banks. Beginning with their failed attempt to collapse the U.S. auto industry and the banking system, they have waged a continous war against the 98% of American citizens by blocking every attempt to improve
    the economy, loading every potential bill with more tax bebefits for the "Top 2% Club" or
    other things they knew would destroy any chance of passage. Their actions could be interpreted as acts of sedition, were we in the mood to indict these felons for such conspiracy against our Republic.
