THE REPUBLICAN DECEPTION TACTICS

It is beyond incredulous the way the GOP has perfected the art of pulling the wool over a people. Since that change in the occupancy of the White House, as a result of the election of the first black man to the oval office, the Republicans have stood defiantly between him and any meaningful legislative achievements in a profoundly disturbing way. Some used word like ‘waterloo’, and phrases such as, ‘I want him to fail’ by others, to paint a picture of their desired fate for the Obama administration. I don’t care what it is. Whatever Obama is for, the GOP is against, and whether such propositions could help majority of Americans is immaterial. Was it the health insurance reform efforts, the job bill, unemployment extension? The GOP opposed to them all. What is even more incredulous, perhaps with a dose of insanity, is that some Americans, mostly conservatives go along with this political calculus which is driven only by the need to return to power and the inglorious status quo. Whether Conservatives or Liberals, the fate of this great country befalls on us all, and the sooner we realize this fact and work together to change the course of the country, we might as well be willing to stew-in-our juice when things finally go sour.
Think about this. The GOP under George Bush had eight years to tamper with our immigration laws, abortion, gay marriage, constitutional amendments and similar hot-button issues. The party did nothing. The reason is essentially political, because it helps the GOP to muddle the political waters and shift attention from the topics that would unmask their insensitivity to the needs of the working people, and families. When you muddle the waters long enough, fishes get dis-oriented and gasp desperately for clean water. So also, when the political water is sufficiently muddled, the people are confused, and would most likely vent their anger on the incumbent administration. The Republicans know this; it has worked for them before, and has no doubt about its efficacy this election circle. Otherwise, why are we not discussing all the various attempts by the Obama administration to avoid economic collapse, to create jobs, to ameliorate the sufferings of the unemployed, and so forth? This would bring to the forefront the obstructionist tendencies and tactics of the GOP, which may in turn, help the DNC in November. It is cut-dry; it is cut-throat, and without a human face.
