(25,253 posts)turn around is fair play. No matter what it is - the Repugs are going to be the cause of it. They did this to the President and the Dems since he was elected and now they should get a taste of their own medicine. They can and will cause so much havoc on this country that they will seal their fate for 2016. We need to keep the pressure on them by pointing out and shouting out - loud and clear - how they are screwing us.
Two things could happen: 1. They will lose Congress in 2016 and lose the White House; or 2. If they feel the pressure that they have to cooperate to have a chance - maybe we can get something that will benefit us in the interim.
Whatever - we need to keep the pressure on them over the next two years. There will be much in-fighting amongst themselves - and we must pile on them as well.
The President closed out 2014 really strong. Economic indicators looked real good.
Since 2015 - the stock market is tanking. I know that there is economic unrest in the world - especially surrounding oil prices - but - I don't care that this is to blame. I'm going to do what the Repugs did over the last 6 years. They blamed the President and the Dems - I'm going to blame them.
We need to keep the pressure up on them. I really don't think they can handle it.

(15,041 posts)There is a meanness of spirit underlying the modern day Republican Party. The GOP is infested with vicious, ruthless people who:
O Want to punish the poor
O Believe that the rules don't apply to them
O Are willing to do anything, anything, to seize and hold power
O Don't give a rat's ass about anyone or anything but themselves
O Basically, have fascist mentalities
O Are dangerous to us all and given our arsenal, dangerous to the entire world.

(1,151 posts)They always do nothing.They will fight amongst themselves, they will embarass themselves again and again. Because every time you put a mike in front of one of them, ask a question, they embarass themselves. The have no answer and when you corner them, make them give an answer, they have to reveal the party policy. And the policy is terrible. On womens rights, on gay rights, on Social Security, on health care, on Cuba, on the second amendment and back ground checks, on all of our other rights, the right to peaceful protest, the right to privacy, all the rights they took away with the patriot act they all say they hate but keep voting for.
Just ask them about voting rights.
The president will play them like a violin.Its payback time and the president has all the aces.
Then you will have a half dozen wack jobs running for president and that clown cars will be a shooting star because they dont want any competition. They dont like to be asked questions.
They will anoint another Bush and call it a day.
Jeb is a career criminal. Hes Romney. The 2016 Congress will be about as bad.
