Ding Dong, I just got something

The Republicans keep blaming Obama for creating regulations that are preventing job creation when the real thing preventing job creation is a lack of demand for the supply additional workers would produce.

Yet, the Republicans keep hammering on this regulation thing.  As far a I can tell, all the regulations they want to end are doing things to protect people from unscrupulous business people who have money to give to Republican candidates.  I mean who knew that imported apple juice would have arsenic in it.  Juicy Juice has it for God's sake and that is a brand that I used to work for, although I no longer think Libby's/Nestle still owns it.  And who wants their 3 year old to be ingesting arsenic.  Maybe that is why we have a problem getting kids out of HS and into college.

So what did I just get.  The Republicans have nothing else to talk about because everything else they want to do just enriches those who have wealth and they have no plan to create employment.  So blame regulations and keep at it.

By the way, housing/credit bubble bursts take 5 to 10 years to work through.  This one started in 2007 so  it will end sometime in the next two administrations.  The issue is how we get from here to there and which party you think will do more damage.

Since the Republicans want to return to doing more of what Bush II did and that caused this mess, that is not an environment that I want to encourage.  And the Democrats want to improve Health Care, keep a lack of regulation from harming us and bring about a balanced budget in a responsible way.  That is something I want to support.

RedState thinks I am not really a conservative, but then Richard Nixon, Nelson Rockefeller, Ronald Reagan or George Bush I would not be nominated by the current Republican party and my policy beliefs are not that different from theirs.  So am I no longer conservative or has the current version of Republican conservatism moved so far to the right that it is no longer mainstream.  48 weeks to go.
