I agree with Axelrod. Democrats are terrorized by any hint of restricting govt. spending and autocratic power.

Axelrod should be ashamed, but won’t be.

INSANE people rarely cultivate a sense of "shame."

INSANE people construct abysmally absurd "second realities," and then DEMAND that the rest of us go "live there."

Let's just hope there is still a sufficient number of American voters who are not themselves INSANE; and thus are not willing to entertain and deploy public policies that have never worked anywhere, at any time, in the whole history of mankind.

I guess we'll have to wait until November 6th to find out the answer to that question.

Thanks, dear Kaslin, for posting this.

This policy is in need of translation:

The president believes you build a strong, sustainable economy by building a strong, viable growing middle class.

Consisting entirely of overpaid bureaucrats.

You have to continue to upgrade our educational system and improve access to higher education and technical training.

Pay teachers' unions more money for a crappy product so that they can demand more money to fix said crappy product.

We have to invest in research and development and the kinds of things that will create high-end, advanced manufacturing jobs.

Pay off our fat cat campaign contributors to make technologies for export and production elsewhere.

We have to continue to open up markets all over the world for American products.

Protectionism.

We need to continue with an all-of-the-above energy policy and really push for the development of all sources of energy.

See above.

Immigration reform is an unfinished piece of business.

Import more Slave Party dependent voters.

But the principal thing we need to be pursuing is a very aggressive strategy of putting people back to work.

Make existing voters dependent upon us.

No kidding. The GOP has only been a speed bump to Obama’s high speed rush to socialism. Obama is the whacko bypassing Congress with Executive Orders.

Thomas Jefferson, in his "First Inaugural," outlined the constitutional principles and ideas which would guide his Administration. Then, he stated:

"These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and the blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."

In other words, Jefferson warns Americans that when the principles of their Constitution were violated, either through "error" or "alarm," through the "services of those we trust," then we should "hasten" to change direction and "regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."

How else might that be done than by courageous "obstruction" of would-be tyrants who would "change" America's foundations from the ideas of "People-over-government" and liberty to the ideas of redistribution and government-over-people?

Based on Jefferson's warning, Axelrod's term, "politics of obstruction", may be the noblest compliment Congressional and Senatorial Republicans can receive.

Since when is it OK for the president to pick one class of citizen over another as his policy? He is supposed to govern all Americans equally but that doesn’t fit the template of this Commie metrosexual.

They [GOP] have had a policy of obstruction from the day the president arrived.

When the facts do not support you, obfuscate and LIE!

Queen Pelosi controlled the House from 2007 to 2011 (110th & 111th Sessions). For the 110th, the US Senate was 51 Dem.Caucus control and the 111th had Arlen Specter jump to give 60 Dem.Caucus until Scott Brown took Ted Kennedy's seat in 2010. Given the RINOs in the Senate, practically speaking, Obama walked into the roses until January of 2011.

Difficult to obstruct when you are the toe-jam under the steamroller. Obama's team is trying (VERY TRYING) to reconstruct Truman's run against a do-nothing Congress. Convincing to their base, for others with above room temp intelligence, not so much!

They SAY they’re going to throw more money at education. But the truth is they’re going to throw more money at teachers unions. This crap has been tried since 1964 and it hasn’t worked.

It is beyond me why the spineless GOP-e is willing to get into the gutter and use plain English hyperbole like the Dems constantly use, from Axelrod to Emanual to Pelosi.

I want to hear GOP-e leaders call out the other side as the communists and socialists they are. I want them to call them bald faced liars and not tiptoe around it.

Our side has nothing but wimps, except Joe Wilson who called the president a liar (but in an inappropriate venue), and Chris Christie.

{Axelprod} There’s this reign of terror going on in the Republican Party.

I could forgive Axelprod his rhetoric, if only he would be so good as to ascend the steps of the platform, before a vast crowd of Tea Partiers, to face an actual guillotine. Then I should happily indulge him, and be content with his brevity.

I look at that photo, and I see Bill Clinton leading Janet Reno, Ron Brown, Rahm Emanual, Lanny Davis, Harold Ickes, James Carville, Vernon Jordan, and a long list of others.

Never happened. Never will happen. Clinton let our missile guidance technology go to China via campaign donor. Nothing ever happened.

Nothing happened to the Clinton Mafia. Nothing will happen to the Obama Politburo. Don’t get your hopes up.
