First and foremost, the right wants the presidency. If it can't have that, it wants the Congress. The attacks on President Obama and Nancy Pelosi have not been particularly effective. At this time it does not appear the GOP is likely to to take the House in 2010 according to Intrade:
If the GOP were to return to power in
2012 it would ignore labor and environmental laws by putting cronies
in the Department of the Labor and the Department of Interior. Labor
law would be ignored or weakened. Environmental laws would be ignored so
Big Oil so Big Whatever could exploit more natural resources. The GOP
would also politicize the Department of Justice as it did during the
last Bush term.
The GOP also likes to start a war
because it can divert the national treasure from the domestic economy
to defense and most defense corporations are operated by card
carrying conservatives. This would also require less transparency in
government and more secrecy.
You would expect to see another Middle
Eastern War start and the relationship with Russia cool. It is indeed
peculiar that the Republicans prefer to deal with the People's
Republic of China which has a communist government, but not the
Russians who have abandoned communism.
It is probable the next Republican
government will start sabre rattling with Iran and perhaps Venezuela.
Sooner or later the next Republican president will want the US to go
to war with a country in the Middle East or in Central and South
America.
Republicans will try to reinstate their
Trojan Horse, Supply Side economics, that rewards the rich and damages
the Middle Class. You will hear vague promises about tax cuts but
when the dust clears those tax cuts will be for the 'have mores.' As
George W. Bush stated right after his election in 2001: “This
is an impressive crowd: the Have's and Have-more's. Some people call
you the elites. I call you my base.”
While Democrats wish to
function in a more democratic way in which all of the citizenry
benefits from the fruits of society, Republicans prefer an oligarchy
modeled after a corporation that focuses on the needs of the 'have
mores.'
Accordingly corporate profits will rise but employment will
remain stagnant as the right wing cracks the whip on the labor force
to increase productivity. This in one of the reasons the Bush
administration created 25 per cent of the jobs created during the
Clinton administration. Employment is not a big priority for
Republicans. Productivity is more important.
The Veterans
Administration will also decline after the Obama administration has
reformed it and got caught up on 1 million backlogged claims leftover
from the Bush administration.
The Republican Party will
continue the deficit economics of Ronald Reagan and will never
balance the budget. The deficit will increase because Republicans are
not able to govern effectively.
Rightardia has seen these
trends with GOP presidents since Richard Nixon was elected. We are
hoping that the Republicans run someone like Sarah Palin in 2012 or
another Southern Democrat like Mike Huckabee. We will be waiting for
to assure that Obama is reelected in 2012 and the House and Senate
remain Democratic in 2010.
