The Republicans released the hounds and they are biting them in the ass

The Republicans "released the hounds" with the Tea Party. 

The GOP unleashed the conservative crazies and are now facing a backlash from their creation: the civil war between the country clubbers represented by Romney and the TP's represented by Palin and Bachmann.

With the GOP joined at the hip with supply side economics, it lacks the flexibility and vision to lead the US out of the wilderness.

Fox News is also bringing about the decline of the GOP. A well known advertising principal is that when you advertise a bad product, you will initially see an increase in sales followed by a huge decline.

The GOP's destiny is to become a regional and minority party that is operated by wealthy country club Republicans and supported by under- educated, naive and working class Tea Partiers

The gay marriage between GOP politicians and the oil barons

APR 28, 2011

The relationship between the House Republican leadership and Big Oil has gone on for many years. Having accepted over $2 million in contributions from the oil and gas industry and voted to protect numerous taxpayer giveaways for Big Oil, this union comes as little surprise. 

At roilwedding.com, Americans can view the invitation and can share their thoughts on these nuptials in the online guest book.The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) cordially invites you to celebrate the R-Oil wedding between House Republicans and Big Oil at a new website, www.roilwedding.com.

“For this wedding, in lieu of gifts, the happy couple would surely prefer more Big Oil tax breaks,” said Jesse Ferguson of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee .

”After House Republicans had a decade long relationship of protecting Big Oil taxpayer giveaways, speculations and price gouging, this wedding seems like the next step. In their relationship for richer or really richer, we wish the happy couple all the best.”

The Relationship

Politifact: Repblican SOTU responses full of half truths and fabrications

 Rep. Paul Ryan said:

1. that "trust in government is at an all-time low. This is a false 
2. the size of government is at an all-time high which is also off by 60 years. 
3. President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25 percent . . .  — an 84 percent increase when you include the failed stimulus. The actual figure is closer to 27 per cent. 
4. Ryan claimed the stim didn't create jobs, but the nonpartisan CBO says the stimulus increased employment by between 1.4 million and 3.6 million people in the third quarter of 2010 . . .

Rep. Michele Bachmann said 

1. the bailout cost "$700 billion." The net cost actually is estimated to be much less — $25 billion. The $700 billion is a reference to TARP that GW Bush signed into law. But the estimated net cost to taxpayers will be $25 billion after the government sells its stocks and the companies repay the money . . .
2. Bachmann repeated the false claim about the need to hire "16,500 IRS agents in charge of policing President Obama’s health care bill." The figure of 16,500 originated from a House Republican report that relies on false assumptions and outright misrepresentation.  

Both Republicans also made numerous false claims about the cost of the health care reforms, job creation and the stim. 

1. the stimulus didn’t create jobs (it did)
2. the health care law hurts job growth (experts say the impact will be small and primarily effect minimum wage jobs.) 
3. that "16,500 IRS agents" will enforce that law which is based on a flawed, partisan analysis.

FactCheck.org: House Republicans lie about health care law effect on unemployment

A ‘Job-Killing’ Law? January 7, 2011

House Republicans misrepresent the facts. Experts predict the health care law will have little effect on employment.

When it comes to truth in labeling, House Republicans are getting off to a poor start with their constantly repeated references to the new health care law as "job-killing."

• Independent, nonpartisan experts project only a "small" or "minimal" impact on jobs, even before taking likely job gains in the health care and insurance industries into account.
• The House Republican leadership, in a report issued Jan. 6, badly misrepresents what the Congressional Budget Office has said about the law. In fact, CBO is among those saying the effect "will probably be small."
• The GOP also cites a study projecting a 1.6 million job loss — but fails to mention that the study refers to a hypothetical employer mandate that is not part of the new law.
• The same study cited by the GOP also predicts an offsetting gain of 890,000 jobs in hospitals, doctors’ offices and insurance companies — a factor not mentioned by the House leadership.
  

There’s little doubt that the new law will likely lead to somewhat fewer low-wage jobs. That’s mainly because of the law’s requirement that, generally, firms with more than 50 workers pay a penalty if they fail to provide health coverage for their workers.

One leading health care expert, John Sheils of The Lewin Group, puts the loss at between 150,000 and 300,000 jobs, at or near the minimum wage. And Sheils says that relatively small loss would be partly offset by gains in the health care industry.

Well, the GOP would be expected to play the fear card, wouldn't they?
