Republican Dirty Tricks

If any of you brain-dead Republicans who troll this site need more proof that your support of a morally-bankrupt collection of ghouls with a sole mission to ingratiate a small ruling elite at the expense of the rest of us, then look no further than the Congressional Republicans behavior surrounding the economic stimulus bill.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – an attempt to keep the United States from plunging into yet ANOTHER Republican Great Depression triggered by greed-centered Republican policies – was given a big fat goose-egg (zero votes) from Republican lawmakers in spite of fact that concessions to their middle-class killing, ideologically based “ideas” were included in the final bill.

Now, the conservative leaning Washington Times is reporting that while opposing the stimulus package with their vote and for the sake of the camera, Republicans are touting the triumphs in their districts that resulted from the bill.

Letters to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, reveal the blatant hypocrisy of Republican lawmakers’ as they publicly criticize the overall stimulus package while privately lobbying for its funds!

This duplicity is just part of their strategy to game the unwashed masses into voting against their best interests and supporting Republican candidates by making it appear that Barack Obama was unable to fix the PROBLEMS THAT REPUBLICANS CREATED!

Republicans would rather continue to have the American People suffer than work with Democrats and use our government as it was intended – to advance the interests of EVERYONE- not just the top 1%. Simply, Republicans play an endless game with our lives with the sole purpose of tipping the scales in favor of the rich – no matter what the cost in suffering payed by those most unmercifully affected by Republican policies.

Republicans in power know that they must tenuously turn the Land of the Free into The United States of Serfs and Lords while APPEARING to be the victims of the very tactics they employ, rather than the catalyst of catastrophes that they actually are.

With this truth so blatantly apparent, someone must shake President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and wake them from the dream of “bipartisanship” they pine for like battered spouses pining for their abusers.

The fact is, Republicans are so fixated on their mission to create a neo-feudal nation of serfs and lords that they won’t let ANY relief to the American People be implemented as that would be a political victory for Barack Obama – and that is something Republicans cannot abide.

The game plan is simple… OPPOSE EVERYTHING that this administration elected with a mandate for change is trying to do to clean up the disastrous mess left in the wake of Republican policies.

Meanwhile, the suffering of the American People is REAL and these same duplicitous lawmakers must come back to their home districts and pretend they have the best interest of their constituents in mind, so they smile broadly and pose with gigantic prop stimulus checks at various ribbon-cutting ceremonies that would never have happened without the bill they vociferously opposed.

With the cover of lies provided by Corporate America’s protection racket, Fox News, Republicans easily let various disingenuous myths, such as the “Barack Obama is a Socialist myth (I wish), fall from their lips, secure in the knowledge that the lies will go unchallenged.

In spite of this latest example of the blatant hypocrisy of Republicans, Republicans lawmakers then have no qualms riling their willfully ignorant, deliberately misled constituents with sudden panic concerning deficits – in spite of the fact that Republican administrations, beginning with their patron saint of deficit spending Ronald Reagan, began the trend by raising the national debt from $700 billion to $3 trillion, and transformed the United States from being the world’s largest international creditor to the world’s largest debtor nation by tripling the national debt and borrowing more money from foreign governments than all previous administrations COMBINED! The sad difference is that Saint Ronald Reagan engaged in his drunken deficit spending, not to pull the American People off the precarious ledge Republicans had left them on, but for the sole intention of making the rich richer and turning the middle class into the working poor.

Normal people (non-Republicans) know that facts don’t matter to Republicans so they never let them get in the way of their ideology. Republican lawmakers have become masters of this populist kabuki dance they feign for the sake of the “everyman” idiots who sidle up to them with the false belief their capitulation will somehow ease the blows.

Normal People (non-Republicans) also know that the mission of Republican politicians, simply, is to further their agenda of creating a neo-Feudal, Corporatist state while APPEARING to work for sake of the people in spite of actively working to keep us in our subservient place.
