Republicans are still in denial about 2008 elections

The Republicans still seem to be unable to believe they are out of power. In 2008 a Democratic president was elected as well as a Democratic House and Senate. Obama won the election by 10,000 votes and a 2:1 electoral advantage. Sixty Democrats were seated in the Senate and nearly 60 per cent of the House members were Democratic.

Where Rightardia is located in Central Florida along the I4 corridor, the voters turned out in droves for Obama. Obama handily won the state of Florida.

Republicans attributed the loss to Acorn because they were registering people to vote. Of course, the Republican approach has been to make it harder to vote with more ID checks and other legal requirements. Why? Because the GOP knows a large voter turnout usually spells doom for them.

Today a women walked into our office today and asked what is the world coming to with the Obama health care plan and all of these other going on. A simple answer would be 'change.'

The public wanted change after eight years of ineffective Republicans rule. During the financial meltdown, 45 per cent of the world's wealth was lost. Years of GOP deregulation led to the financial debacle. Bush doubled the national debt during his two terms. After years of Republican denials about the Iraq War, the Americans public now knows there weren't any WMDs.

The Costofwar.com estimates the Iraq War has already cost the US taxpayer $980 billion. By the the time the US forces withdraw this year, the cost will be over $1 trillion and the life cycle costs for VA Care and veterans benefits will add billions of dollars in cost for the Iraq and Afghan wars.

The GOP approach to the Obama administration is to profess anger and suggest health care needs to be repealed which is unrealistic. If Obama had to veto a health care appeal bill, which is an unlikely event, the GOP would need 67 votes in the Senate to overcome his veto.


The Republicans have suggested that only they can balance the budget. Really? The Republicans are the bums that got us into this mess with their short sighted tax cuts and middle eastern wars. How in the world will the GOP balance the budget when the first thing they would do upon reelection is to cut taxes for the affluent.

Does anybody really think a political party as ideological as the GOP has reformed its spending habits after two years? Just look at all of the expenses of the RNC for risqué night clubs and questionable 'office supplies.' If the RNC cannot manage its own budget, how in God's Green earth is it going to steward the US budget? Micheal Steele even wanted to buy an airplane for the RNC.

With the exception of Richard Nixon, all GOP presidents have increased the national debt.

This trend is even more apparent if gross federal debt statistics are studied. The following table lists the gross U.S. federal debt as a percentage of GDP by Presidential term since World War II. The current gross federal debt as a percentage of GDP (83.4% at the end of 2009) is currently the highest it has been since the late 1940s, reaching briefly over 100% in the aftermath of the world war.

Should the GOP be rewarded for being belligerent or for making promises it has no intention on keeping? Should it be rewarded for starting a protest movement that yells racial slurs and spits on elected representatives? Rightardia doesn't think so.
