Obama's Hissy Fit

[A Black Falcon]

I'd comment that they couldn't use this against him considering everyone on the Republican side was calling for this, but then I remember that completely contradicting yourself is a major regulation in modern republican strategy.

Just completely contradicting yourself? Completely contradicting yourself and then serially lying about it seems more likely... and then getting away with it the majority of the time because the American people are complete idiots.

I mean, what other explanation is there for why Republicans are doing well in the polls this year, despite the fact that it is Republican filibusters in the Senate that are so centrally responsible for the relatively slow economic recovery (yes, filibustering every single jobs bill this year has major consequences for the economy!) and the struggles the Democrats have had in passing their legislation?

Any sane electorate would say "Well, we tried to elect the Democrats in '06 and '08, but the Republicans keep blocking almost everything they want to do, so we should vote even more of them in so the Republican blocking gets broken down." I mean obviously, how else is anything going to happen?

But no, people seem ready to vote in the party of filibuster and blocking everything they can, because they blame the Democrats for the fact that the Republicans are blocking or limiting too much most of the good things they want to get done, evidently.

Yeah, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

(And no, it's not "The American People Turing on the Democratic Party". That Republican myth simply is not true.)
