It's about the politics of the issue which I think Dems will be on the right side of.<br /><br />That said, both parties are responsible for the fiscal mess the country is in. I also sharply take issue with the Republican talking point that the Dems goal is to spread socialism & destroy the private sector or that Obama is a socialis whose goal is to destroy the country. That's just conspiracy theory nonsense. Dems are also in bed with the Wall Street crowd and corporate America.DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835607180418553607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226605107278385473.post-53791037147130086932011-02-23T13:31:24.862-05:002011-02-23T13:31:24.862-05:00"The Obama White House will be able to point ..."The Obama White House will be able to point to Republicans and their tea party members who openly reject the entire notion of negotiation and compromise, and claim that Republicans are responsible for the mess." <br /><br />The nation is quite literally (within 10 years) on the brink of fiscal collapse and the Dems salivate at the chance of gaining more power in order to expand socialism and the mentality of "spread the wealth" while at the same time destroying the private sectors ability to create the wealth, off of which the government has become a host-killing parasite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
