Are Republican leaders geniuses?

They have pulled off some amazing hat tricks:

1. GWB elected president in 2000 with 550,000 fewer votes than Al Gore

2. Started 2 wars with no declaration of war which brought billions in war funding to their rich business pals.

3. Came through with billions of tax payer money to their rich supporters with the tax cut of 2001

4. Perfectly compensated for their minority party status by the "Citizens United" supreme court ruling allowing Republicans to vastly outspend Democrats.

5. Get voters to blame Obama for the financial crisis they caused.

It is killing the America we love but it is genius!

    Well, it's easy for them to appear to be geniuses when they have such a willing America to help them achieve their goals.

    That's why I keep saying: We reap what we sow, and rightly so.

    Btw, you summed up their agenda quite nicely.

    it may besides have been. yet individually, i do no longer like it that the president of us of a of america supplies somebody like Limbaugh (an approved NUT CASE!) this plenty interest. i'm now waiting to make certain the ramifications, if any, from this flow by employing Obama. I examine someplace that there replace right into a technique at the back of the entire think of, that the Obama camp performed around with the belief of inviting Limbaugh to a minimum of considered one of their conferences approximately coverage and the monetary equipment and backed out on the final minute - something that allegedly infuriated the conservative communicate instruct host. nicely, back, permit's wait and notice. i think of another inquiries to be asked are: a million. How plenty skill does Limbaugh extremely have? 2. How plenty skill does the president think of Limbaugh has? 3. How plenty skill do human beings supply somebody like Limbaugh? ?

  • You have to remember that the Rich and Corporations bought the best politicians that money could buy on both sides. So, I would say the real geniuses were the Rich and Corporations that bought both sides in order to make them do their bidding.

    1. That is because of our system of using electoral votes. In that system someone who has a higher popular vote in some cases won't get elected. Do some research on the electoral college.

    2. Both wars were voted on by Congress. Iraq had 27 UN resolutions against it. Did Congress vote on Libya?! How many UN resolutions did LIbya have against them?! Let me help you Congress didn't vote on Libya and in fact they were not even notified about it. Libya has one UN resolution.

    3. So you are OK with the fact that Obama and the Democrats used the $1 trillion in TARP to bailout the rich, banks, 2 car companies, and Wall St. instead of using it to help people stay in their homes like it was supposed to be used for?!

    4. If I had to guess I bet you are OK with public sector unions being perfectly compensated for their funding of Democrat politicians! Seems hypocritical to me!

    5. No one is blaming Obama for the financial crisis they are blaming him for making the recession last longer. Voters are rightfully blaming Democrats for the financial crisis they caused!

    Well they know that you have to cause problems in the economy to get government to spend to save the people which drowns government in a bathtub.
