Democrats need to stop hyping the Republican Party

[ProSense]

Claiming that Republicans with their new power in the House can destroy the economy and win is not realistic.

Imagine, out of power they can destroy the economy and win. With power, they can destroy the economy and win.

The doom formula = Republicans are never accountable and all powerful.

Yet they were held accountable in 2006 and 2008. They succeeded in 2010 because Democrats were in control of the WH and Congress and the economy has yet to recover.

It's not all that clear that Republican can do much about the economy. The notion that they can stop additional stimulus, which couldn't pass anyway, is not going to impact anything.

Also, the President still has options in terms of stimulating the economy, and the policies he put in place are going to begin paying dividends.

The notion that they can shut down the government indefinitely and not pay a political price is ludicrous.

Republican Governors are also on the hot seat. What are they going to do?

3. They clearly don't want America to go forward,

they want us to go backward. This notion of them thinking they can turn down all that money for High Speed Rail, and still be voted back in, is pure hubris. That High Speed Rail money will create jobs, and at the same time they are harping about the unemployment rate. If they really gave a damn, they would be on the side of ways to create jobs, and moving America forward.

4. I agree with your second to last sentence a huge amount. The R's are in their momentary post-win

euphoria where they believe anything they desire is possible, but I have a feeling when they actually pursue the agenda they believe is correct, they're going to fail miserably and only further prove themselves to be against everything that is constructive and positive for this nation.

7. I couldn't agree more,

their hand will be shown, and I for one cannot wait.

6. What are you asking?

The example is in the OP.

I take it that you have an objection to ending the practice of hyping Republicans?

[Enrique]

8. post an article where someone is doing what you describe

That's what I mean by an example.
