What Drives Republicans?
In one word - POWER. After Barack Obama took office as president, Republicans immediately set about to destroy the popularity of the president and of the Democrats in order to regain political power. Through the Tea Party and through the media they waged a daily campaign of lies, defamations and smears. In Congress, they erected walls to prevent confirmation of Obama's nominees and to stop or delay all Democratic legislative initiatives. Republicans have demonstrated that they care not one whit for helping Americans. Their sole concern is to regain power.

Strict Consumer Protection or Nothing
You would think that protection of consumers, who lost their homes, businesses and jobs because of the shenanigans of the financial industry, would be a high priority of both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate. Not so. It seems that satisfying bankers and Wall Street, who melted our economy, comes first.

Republicans Don't Understand Obama
From the extremist Teapartiers you hear that President Obama is not truly president, that he is working to subvert the American democratic system of government, and that he is a bigger threat to the country than the terrorists. From the "moderate" Republicans you hear that the president is trying to impose a European-type socialism that the mostly-conservative public will not stand for. Republicans (and some Democrats) do not understand Obama.

Let's Start All Over
You heard the conventional wisdom, the wisdom bruited about by the brilliant broadcast pundits: Republicans came out slightly ahead in the big Healthcare Debate at the Summit. How did the Republicans accomplish this outstanding feat? They came prepared, the pundits proclaim. Yes, indeed, every single Republican who spoke at the Summit said the same thing: "let's start all over."

Where Did All the Tax Cuts Go?
The primary message of Republicans is tax cuts: We must have tax cuts to make the economy grow, to produce jobs, to reduce the deficit, to fight terrorism, to increase American freedom.... Tax cuts are the cure for everything. And reduce taxes is exactly what George W. Bush did during his 8 years in office. YOUR taxes did not decrease. MY taxes did not decrease. So where did all the tax cuts go?

Prosperity for Rich; Depression for Poor
We hear so much about the current Great Recession being almost as bad as the Great Depression. This is not exactly so. For rich people there is NO recession of any kind. For poor people, the depression is WORSE than it was in the Great Depression.

Naked Republican Power
Richard Shelby of Alabama has demonstrated how a single Republican senator, though a member of the minority party, can prevent the president of the U.S. from doing his job. Shelby used a hold to prevent the confirmation of not 1 but of 70 executive appointees merely to gain some pork for Alabama. An excellent example of the exercise of naked Republican power through obstructionism.

Bonuses for Economy Destroyers
Huge financial corporations, such as Goldman Sachs, have gambled away our money with financial transactions none of us understands. They outsmarted themselves and were on the verge of complete failure, when we, the people, bailed them out. This was done to prevent a total collapse of our economy. But these financial people still believe they are not ordinary people. They believe they deserve tens of million and even hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses.

General Motors for President
Do you like any of the current Republican president-wannabe's, such as Romney and Pawlenty? Or do you prefer the great Teabagger Sarah Palin? None of these or other conservative people under consideration for the most important job in America are remotely as capable as General Motors.
