FRAME: It's simple-The GOP Would Rather Wait for 2010 Than Be Your Friend

[zulchzulu]

I've said before that the GOP has absolutely no interest in helping Obama be successful and got their marching orders LAST SPRING after they realized they were going to lose in 2008.

They want to wait until 2010 and completely clog any efforts to keep America successful in the meantime.

Simply stated, the GOP wants to wait until next year and then complain and whine that nothing is getting done. That IS THEIR MARCHING ORDERS from the GOP leadership.

Hope For Failure. That is their modus operandi.

Tell everyone you know.

The GOP Would Rather Wait for 2010 Than Be Your Friend.

1. Ummm...duh???

Of course this is their strategy because they have nothing else left.

2. Isn't 2010 the year Estate Tax goes back to Pre-Bush Days?

yeah... that's when they'll be back alright. Bitches for the wealthy... that's what a Republican is.

3. Well, I think a party *does* have to play to it's strong suit.

Take a look at the Bush/Cheney years--Failure *is* their strong suit. But even if they were able to trip up the Democratic White House and Senate attempts at a resolution to the financial crisis, there are two things they would still have to do:

1) Convince everybody their own recalcitrance, partisanship, and obstructionism wasn't really the problem;

and

2) Complete the impression they want to make. It would not necessarily follow that just because Democratic ideas haven't worked (yet, in a hypothetical "fail future") that GOP ideas were right. It does not follow in quite the obvious way that, say, the S&L crisis and the 1991-92 recession followed Reagan/Bush, or the mortgage/credit crisis and the current recession followed Baby Bush.

You know, or the way the Great Depression followed Hoover.

I think it's a shame though that winning elections means more to them than doing what's necessary right here and now.
