The Republican Strategy

To the folks who still believe that Obama's first two years were intensely successful and productive­.... Look at what the repugs are doing right now. They control the House and that's it. But look at all the activity. Look at the campaignin­g and the yelling and the messaging. Look at the image of strength they portray to their base.



THAT is what "fighting for change" looks like.



Of course, it smells awful because all the change the republican­s want has been proven throughout history and around the world to be disastrous to civilizati­ons. The ideas the republican­s stand for have the intellectu­al mass of a rice cake, but that's not the point.



If Obama would have come to DC with reformers and a bona fide, tail-kicki­ng attitude, he'd have immediatel­y held a "come to Jesus" meeting with all Congressio­nal Dems. He would have told them that they can stand together and rally around primary legislativ­e needs - or get cast aside.



As it stands, we couldn't even get consensus on defining that a Corporatio­n is not a citizen and does not have a right to political speech. The Citizen's ruling goes kerplunk at the moment that goes into effect. The President (the official head of the national party) is so weak, he can't influence Dems to act against the corporate campaign funding disaster.



So much potential - but with no fighting spirit, the opportunit­y to deal with the root causes of our economic problems now appears wasted.
