Yesterday I published a link to Mitch McConnell's statement that the most important priority for the GOP was to make President Obama a one term President. Their path to that was to follow Ronald Reagan's (who I did vote for) advice for birth control "Just say NO!"
Now "Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R) told MSNBC this week that “it’s not whether you like someone to elect them president, it’s whether that person will do the best for this country."
What's best for the country is Simpson-Bowles which fixes the budget deficit with 2/3 spending cuts and 1/3 revenue increases. But the GOP will not negotiate that, rather they would run the country into the ground by just saying NO to revenue increases.
No one in office from the GOP wants to do what is best for the country. They just want to get rid of President Obama so they can nominate more Supreme Court Justices like Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito and cement a Supreme Court that believes corporations have unlimited rights to give money to campaigns and the state has an unlimited right to legislate control over social issues but not economic ones. Those are the policies that brought us the Great Recession that has ruined the retirement picture for so many.
