There was a time that Republicans had the ability to lead this country. That time has past. History of the last twelve years proves they cannot lead. They took this country into two wars but didn't include them in the budget while at the same time cutting taxes for the rich and large corporations. They spent like we had money to spend. Has there ever been a more irresponsible governing body in American history? They cut regulations the allowed banks to becomes casinos and brought us the biggest crash to the economy since the Great Depression. The elections of 2010 brought in a new wave of extremism from the Tea Party. Americans frustration with unemployment, housing foreclosures, and watching the government bail out the Banksters and Wall Street who's corruption brought us the worst recession since the Great Depression. This frustration culminated in the most radical group in history taking over the House of Representatives. The GOP knew that they had to use their power to change the message of that election. What the American public wanted was a change in the partisanship in congress. The real message from the American people was Work Together for the betterment of the American people. Stop all of the filibusters and get something done for the middle class. But the GOP decided to take over the message to say it is all about the debt and the deficit. Wrong! They have stuck with this message hoping it would stick and that Americans would not pay attention to what they really want to do. They want to slow down the improvement of the economy as much as possible before 2012. How do they do that? They do it by cutting as much as possible to the budget so there is little job growth. More cuts to programs mean fewer jobs. It's that simple. The GOP Tea Party Republican attacks on middle class workers is another sign of how radical they right has become. Does anyone other than Tea Party members really believe all of our deficit problems will be solved if American workers have lower pay, no benefits or a retirement? Anyone that seriously looks at our problems knows that is NOT the answer. Good paying jobs, benefits and a retirement is what makes America great. Middle class Americans with money in their pockets to buy an new home, car, boat, and take a vacation is what will power the economy. The idea that anyone and everyone can pull themselves up by there bootstraps and start a business is just simply far from reality. Just look around you at all the people you know. You know that there are many of them that are really not capable of such things. In a perfect world everyone would do everything just right and put enough away to cover their own health care and retirement. We do not live in such a world. The GOP Tea Party Republicans have used over and over again very offensive, hostile, and inflammatory language in talking about the President and the Democrats. They use words like leftist, socialist, and radicals to describe Democrats, even though their actions have been the most radical in history. They have used the filibuster more than any time in history, they have attacked and taken away bargaining rights of American middle class workers, they have held the congress, country, and middle class Americans hostage over and over again and are willing to shut down the country in order to push policies that will hurt middle class Americans while protecting the Bush tax cuts for the ultra rich and corporations.
Now lets look at Obama and the Democrats.
Obama was handed the worst economy since the Great Depression. He along with the Democratic congress implemented the stimulus package and in less than two years the economy is showing real improvement even with the GOP Tea Party Republicans using the filibuster and holding the middle class hostage. The GOP has used the filibuster more than any congressional body in history to try to block anything that would help the middle class. The Affordable Care Act in it's original form put forward by the House Democrats would have given most Americans Health Care coverage in a much less expensive way than what the GOP Tea Party Republicans have inflicted upon us in the name of corporate profits. Obama also has shifted the military actions in Afghanistan from more boots on the ground to less and increased the use of the predator drones to keep an eye on where the terrorist elements are. This new approach has given much better results overall with many more terrorist killed and fewer American soldiers killed or wounded. President Obama also gave the order to get Osama Bin laden which was very risky but should what a great leader he is under difficult conditions.

The GOP Tea Party Republicans will ask Americans for the opportunity to lead this country again in 2012. They have proven that they cannot lead and Americans have no reason to believe that they will be able to do so at any time in the future. Putting America in the hands of the GOP Tea Party Republicans would be devastating for America as they work toward low paying jobs, no health benefits, foreign policy that will hurt America and make the rest of the world hate us. They had ten years to do something positive and really show their ability to reduce spending and be responsible with tax payers money. They were the worst governing body in history. Why would anyone want to do it all again. When Americans go to the polls in 2012 they will vote for progressive candidates that have policies that help middle class Americans and promote America's ideals all over the world. Americans will vote to put people before profits and provide a government for the people by electing Progressive Democrats that really care about middle class Americans.
