Statements like this always amuse me. The Republican party has steadfastly opposed and obstructed just about everything Obama and the Democratic majority tried to do...and now you want to turn around and accuse the Democrats of accomplishing nothing.

But if you want to claim that, don't you also have to say that Republicans had several years in which they controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. Will you take responsibility for everything they did or did not do? What was their record on job creation?

 

Give them a little time and republicans will be tripping over their feet and stepping on their tongues....

 

Only time will tell the accomplishments of 112th, history is the past, 2012 will be the telling point.

 

No Ace everyone of those problems have existed for about 10 years now and while the democrats managed to at least stop the recession and get health care reform passed the Republicans first caused the problems (Remember the GOP controlled both houses of congress and the presidency for six of Bush's eight years and all those problems did was get worse until it finally collapsed our economy and kicked of a global recession.

And incidentally the same thing happened under Ronald Reagan and the GOP "revolution." The tax payers ended up having to bail them out and the country went into recession.

But I bet you guys are getting ready to try and use the insanity defense to excuse Reagan's performance.

How close did Lesley Stahl come to reporting Reagan had Alzheimer's while in office? Very close.

I'm thinking this is going this is going to be hilarious

Government Report finds Bush Administration violated Hatch Act

You are so right. They could not afford to let President Reagan step up to a microphone with out a very well rehearsed script. And they strictly limited any questions.

That frustrated the Washington Press corp so bad some reporters, especially Sam Donelson, started hollering questions at Reagan when he was walking from the White House to his helicopter.

And Donelson was a genius at hollering questions that were so damaging they were all but rhetorical.

The Reaganites couldn't put up with that so from then on the helicopter was always left running so the noise drowned out the questions from the press.

That's the lengths they went to to keep Reagan's mental state shielded from the press and public.

 

Well the Republicans are at it again.....in just a short period of time since their elections to gain control of congress gas has gone up about 40 cents a gallon.....we saw what gas prices did when Bush was Pres. 1.25 to as high as 4 bucks...

Hang on to your hats cause the Republicans will run gas prices to the roof...keep the poor man down is their motto...!

 

Who controls the gasoline prices? Who controls the Department of the Interior, Department of Commerce, EPA, etc?

Look to the White House, you did when Bush was President, why not now?

 

Obama has tilted to the Republicans.....

 

Check the percentage increases in the price of gas while keeping in mind demand has increased only .07%. And you know its all simple manipulation of an essential commodity by the world oil monopoly.

 

Ah, so it has nothing to do with the Democrats who dominate the richest members of Congress?

 

Here we go again, Mister Economist shows his lack of knowledge in market dynamics.

The price of petroleum fuels and crude is tied directly to the future supply and demand of the commodity. The price of crude on the commodities market is set by what entities are willing to pay for it, pure and simple. The demand is global, not local or regional.

As the price rises the demand begins to falter, if demand drops enough and for a long enough period, the price will drop according.

 

I first mentioned the story of US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas apparently evading income taxes by not claiming his wife's income.

But considering Judge Thomas' explanation for the lapse of not claiming his wife's income for some 13 years needs to be here on the thread about Republican Hilarity.

Here's why Judge Thomas failed to claim his wife's income;

Here's what Common Cause has to say about that:

Simple answer all you got to do is study DLs Bell Curve..........

 

Once again you get the facts confused. Clarence Thomas is not accused of evading income taxes. He is accused of not declaring his wife's on the required disclosure statement. His income tax returns were how they found the error.

 

The Democrats ARE Elitist, that's why all the nut jobs are in the Republican Party/its off-shoot The Tea Party.
