| Closely I watched the Colorado Senate this last session and instead of actually governing with solutions, the Republicans would cry and scream about how the reason the economy was bad, was because of government. The intention, of course, behind their meaningless slogans is to encourage voters to make the overemotional jump to think well, vote 'em out! thus falling prey to the Republican lie machine and forfeiting the Democratic majority that does its best to prevent the continued death-careen that the Republicans prefer. When pressed about their proposed solution for meeting fixing the economy, Rs could only say "cut state government workers income (jobs) by 25%" which, given the fact that the state government is the largest employer in the state, such an idea is utterly counterproductive to creating a vibrant economy but WHATEVER.
Morons.
Now, about these Conservative-backed (and illegally funded??) current ballot initiatives, one Repub meme is "no debt" which, again the vulnerable voter would equate with borrowing which is in part what the "Dr Evil Amendments" 60, 61, and 101 on the ballot this Nov seek to do.
The Denver Business Journal (yes, it has the word business in it, all hail business AUM) has a piece about how, if passed, these amendments would send Colorado into another recession. Who wants that?
Well, Republicans want that. Republicans want Obama and all Democrats to fail so they can get re-elected and continue their raping and pillaging of our nations resources. |
| Fong :: The Republican Plan for Recovery |
| Here's a link to the full article.
So what is the Republican plan for recovery? Is it in these amendments? I see their literature, their facebook pages, their twitter feeds but it's all slogans that speak loudly and say nothing.
I want to challenge everyone to ask Republicans about real solutions. Their arguments should not be convoluted, citing the philosophies of Medieval monks or Ayn Rand, for that matter. They should be able to adequately explain their plan to a concerned voter.
The next time you see a Republican gathering, after they extinguish the cross, ask them why they support 60, 61, and 101 and what they see as being the best strategy for prosperity.
