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.

    Robert Gray is a "Media Strategist" who works for anybody who will hire him. And currently, he is seeking clients because he has none.

    So what is it? Is it Bush, the GOP Congress, European Debt Crisis, Tsunami, Earthquake or what? It seems the Dems are just chumming the water with excuses to see which one people bite on.

    3 1/2 years of premeditated obstructive sabotage has occurred from Republicans, and 49% of voters polled agree no matter how much the RWNJs deny it here. They are playing austerity roulette with the economy by obstructing to try and elect a fool who with the GOP in Congress would make us look like Greece in no time.

    We have learned to not listen to what you half-wits say and just watch what you do. Therein lies the truth. Funny thing is Sweet Cheeks that you just can't hide or fake reality no matter how hard you try. This is not only a racist attack on our African American President, it is an attack on 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.

    Well good for you, and you would think having a brain would be required for being in the government.

    “A Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each other. The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness. The other wolf is fear, greed and hatred. "Which wolf will win, grandfather?" asks the young boy. "Whichever one I feed," is the reply.”

    The conservative strategy is a kind of cognitive surgery: systematically creating and destroying mental associations with little regard for the truth.

    Conservatism runs on ideologies that bear only a tangential relationship to reality.

    LITERATURE FROM THE GREAT DEPRESSION

    And the great owners, who must lose their land in an upheaval, the great owners with access to history, with eyes to read history and to know a great fact: when property accumulates in too few hands it is taken away. And that companion fact: when a majority of the people are hungry and cold they will take by force what they need. And the little screaming fact that sounds all through history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed.

    The only bills that pass are the Republican ones in the Hose of representatives and most of them are the ones trying to destroy Roe vs Wade or to destroy the Regulations so that they can create a real Great Depression. In the Senate, every jobs bill or something to help the economy or the people is Filibustered or blocked for so the Republicans can say: What jobs has Obama created, and just look at how bad the economy is?

    The Grand OBSTRUCTION Party is at war with America and the American people, and yet they think we will vote for more destruction and chaos come 2012.

    The slight recession in 2001 was caused by 9/11. Pretty much everybody pulled together to recover from it. You seem to think that no dems ever voted to go to war or had control of either house over the last 12 years. There is plenty of blame to go around for both parties, but if you just want to credit the repubs, so be it.

    did not say that, not one bit. what i said is when we were in a recession there was a sense that we had to spend to get out of it, and when 911 happened we all worked together. also you dont cut taxes in a war and then charge the war on credit and then pass another bill on a program that is not paid for. but not once did i say no democrat voted to go to Iraq, in fact to many did.
