Americans want the parties to work together. Now is the time to show the voters exactly what the GOP is made of. This will prove to those out of work, suffering, homeless and desperate, which party has their best interests at heart. President Obama said in his speech yesterday that he wants to compromise, Mitch McConnell said in his speech the GOP will NOT compromise. There you have it folks, good luck to ya!
Think Progress:
Last night on Fox News, Newt Gingrich tried to advance the illusion that the world has reacted similarly to the GOP’s strong showing in Tuesday’s midterms as they did to Barack Obamas election in '08
GINGRICH: I mean, imagine if you were in China as a dictatorship and you watched the American people cheerfully firing people, and you thought to yourself, Wow, that’s a pretty cool idea. Or imagine you were an Iranian student thinking, you know, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to fire Ahmadinejad, the way Americans go about their politics? So I think it actually strengthens us.
The other is, I think this was a real signal to the world not to assume that the United States is a weak, timid country, not to assume that we’re going to tolerate bad economic policies and not to assume that we’re a country you’re going to be able to push around or run over because I think the American people are exhibiting a robust willingness to change the entire game. And that’s a pretty good historic reminder to other countries that we are a remarkably powerful, and if necessary, remarkably dangerous country when people try to behave in a predatory way towards us.
Wow the guy is a delusional wackjob! My God how can he say such absurd things with a straight face??
I hope you lefties will come to your senses quick, our party needs all the support and backing it can get. Look at the alternative!“The rest of the world, including Asia, is looking at the United States and seeing no real effective policy measures in bringing the economy back on track,” said Bart van Ark, the chief economist at the Conference Board, which measures American economic indicators. “That is making the U.S. lose its legitimacy in the global economic community as a leader in terms of providing solutions.” [...]Benedict Brogan, deputy editor of the right of center Daily Telegraph in London said “you will find folk in Downing Street who fear mainstream Republicans are on the wrong economic path.”
“Republican claims to fiscal probity are a little difficult to buy into,” said Simon Tilford, the chief economist at the Center for European Reform in London. “What they’re advocating would probably increase the deficit rather than effect the dramatic reduction which they claim they want to bring about.”
Once again the Republican party has brought embarrassment to the United States of America. The world looks at us as a bunch of dingbats who can't even get an election right. We just voted to give power back to the thugs who drove our economy into a ditch! With all our problems that stretch across the country and even around the globe we better get out act together and quick!
