It is crystal clear: The party of Hoover is not about doing what is best for the country, it is only about doing what is perceived to be best for the party of Hoover. And if that means devastating this country economically, then that is what they will try to do. (H/T)
I have been beating this particular drum for many months and I will continue to do so: The GOP only cares about itself. They are Republicans before they are Americans. The whole "Country First" slogan from the McCain campaign last year was one motherfucking huge-ass lie. If Democrats had acted this way, the Hindenbergs on the Right would have been calling for shipping the Democratic congressional leadership to Guantanamo Bay.
The GOP wants to economically wreck this country. Either that, or they are terminally batshit insane. In the middle of the worst economic downturn since the dawn of World War II, Rep. John Boehner (R-Nutbarn) called for a freeze on government spending. Who the fuck does he think is going to get the economy rolling, the über-rich? Ask yourself this: Why are the people in the GOP so enamored of following the economic policies of Herbert Hoover? Have they not realized that those policies did not work so well? Or are they so blinded by reality that they really think that naming the shantytowns of the Depression "Hoovervilles" was a term of affection?
There is zero sign that private enterprise is able to do anything of the scale needed to get our economy moving upward; the only player out there who can is the Federal government.
Ignoring that fact is a clear sign that the person so advocating a government abrogation of any role in saving our economy is either a crazy-ass coot or is an active saboteur of this nation. The party of Hoover, therefore, is comprised of either lunatics or traitors.
I see no third choice. At least, not one that doesn't involve shooting up heroin (or snorting Oxycotin).
