I said this before, but it is worth repeating:
The overarching ambition of ALL parties to make the President of the opposing party a one term president. Always have been and always will be so.
But then a strange thing happened and HONESTY showed its ugly face: For the first time one politician - Senator Mitch McConnell - actually had the guts to say so.
In our age when lying and hypocrisy are the political driving force, Senator McConnell's HONESTY was rather refreshing.
That would have been the ambition of Republicans regardless of the skin color of President Obama, just as it would be the ambition of Democrats toward a Republican President.
This has been historic obstruction. And I really can say that based on the evidence.
Republicans have really engaged in unprecedented and very radical behavior.
Historic number of times of filibusters.
Historic low number of bills passed.
Historic filibuster of a cabinet member.
Interrupting a Presidential speech in the halls of congress by calling the President a "liar".
The Senate Republican Leader publicly proclaiming that the number one of agenda of his party was to make the President a one term President.
And I am not sure about all the investigations..but that's probably record breaking too.
And their agenda is very radical. They want to destroy the social safety net.
Most of them didn't run on that.
In public..they say they are trying to "save it".
It's quite extraordinary really.
This is a very radical and dangerous bunch of folks. They are following a man who says he wants to shrink the government to a very small size..so he can drown it.
That's amazing. They signed a pledge of fealty to that guy..circumventing the United States Constitution.
The obstruction of George W. Bush started long before the election on 2000. Remember the the opinion of Canadian and gratefully departed jerk on ABC denigrating George W. Bush even AFTER the 911- 2001 attacks?
Remember the CBS icon Dan Rather desperately "producing" a document that would put GWB on the same level as Dan Rather's idol the recipient of the Purple Heart for self inflicted wounds, the gigolo, John Kerry?
Remember the disdain on ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN on 9-12-2000?
That's just outright slander.
