Reminder: the GOP's number one priority

[pokerfan]

"making sure Obama is a one term President." (Mitch McConnell)

Not ending the recession, not helping out average Americans, not even doing the right thing. No, according to McConnell the GOPs guiding priority, if elected, will be to do everything they can to damage Barack Obama politically, even if doing so hurts America.

1. It's too late.

Obama, in trying to please the right and compromise, has already
made himself obsolete.

There is something to the idea that people want a clear choice.
If Dems go right, they might as well not have power because
the Reeps hold that ground already.

4. It seems to me that a statement like that from a Senator

should be an impeachable offence, didn't he violate his oath of office? I remember when I entered the Army I was given a list of what must have been a hundred different organizations and was asked if I belonged to or ever did belong to any of those or any other group that advocated the violent overthrow of the US government. Then you have Angle advocating using your second amendment rights if the election doesn't go the way you want. It seems to me that should also disqualify her for office. Can you imagine the uproar if Barack or Michelle Obama or any other Democrat would make that statement?

11. The word "partisan" literally means "party first."

Party before country. Party before the rule of law. Party before right and wrong. Partisanship is literally destroying our democracy. The difference between Democratic partisans and Republican partisans is a matter of scruples; Democrats see limits and Republicans do not.

I like to tell people that I am a Democrat on Election day, and every other day I am an American first. I'd never win a political race with such an attitude, but this is what I believe.
