Things are about to go south in this country and I'm going to be blaming it all on the Repugs.
The President went out in 2014 on a high note. Economic indicators were up.
Now lets see what the Repugs do.

(25,253 posts)I will be blaming on the Repugs. Turn around is fair play and now it's their turn to get the treatment that they were giving the President and the Dems.
If we want a chance at winning the White House in 2016 - we need to shout loud and clear that they are the blame for anything that goes South.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it and the sooner others get on that bandwagon - maybe - just maybe they'll catch on and do something right every now and then.

(25,253 posts)What I'm saying is the Repugs didn't care what the issue was - if something went wrong they blamed it on the President and hence the Dems. The American People must have believed them because look what happened in the midterms. So as far as I'm concerned whatever happens in the next two years that might have the slightest negative connotation - I'm blaming it on the Repugs because they control Congress. Let's see how they like the treatment that they've been giving the President since the day he took office.
Will there be other explanations for the negativity - sure - but we need to push the meme that it is the fault of the Repugs. We need to get as many people to believe that - so that come 2016 - that we have a chance at taking back Congress and the WH.
I know - some here will say - well we Dems don't play dirty like them Repugs. Well - I'm saying we better start or we're in for another Bush in the WH along with a Repug clown car of Congress.
How do you think the Repugs and the MSM will play it during the next two years? Do you think they will stop blaming the Dems and the President? I don't. They just flip the argument and say that it is the Dems that aren't cooperating and that's why things are going South - all the while knowing that it is their doings.
We can't play this game fair and square - we need to get down in the pig sty like them - if we're ever going to get out of this downward spiral we're in.
Now who's with me?

There were more discussions about Greece leaving the Euro.
That added to the oil problems to make Europe tank.
It was a bad day all around.
