Q. Who's lying: the Bureau of Labor statistics, or The Republicans?

Q. Who has stacked the Supreme Court with politically motivated Judges through twenty years in office?

Q. Why did the Republicans lead the fight to block financial reforms after they brought this country to the brink of financial collapse?
a) Their motives were prompted by real political principals and policies that were proven to be incorrect. And, they are sorry.
b) They have sold out?

Q. Why has the "loyal opposition" blocked appointments of critical government positions "carte blanche"?

Q. Why did the "loyal opposition" block bills from even coming to the floor for honest debate on a whole range of issues such as?:
à ‚¬ Small Business Tax Relief: which generates 80 to 90 percent of American Jobs
à ‚¬ Campaign Disclosures : which would let the American public see who is behind their
misleading attack ads;
à ‚¬ BP Liabilities : which should be held accountable for a disaster of their making;
à ‚¬ Block Circuit Court Appointees : who aren't fascists enough, in other words anyone that
doesn't agree we their right winged ideologies;
à ‚¬ The Defense Bill : which funds wars they started and in which our sons and daughters are dying;
à ‚¬ Corporations That Out Sourcing American Jobs : and then receive huge tax benefits at our expense;
à ‚¬ Emergency Unemployment Benefits : For the people they put out of work;
à ‚¬ Housing Relief Package : For people who are out of work and can't pay their mortgage;
à ‚¬ Taxing Windfall profits of Big Oil : who are gouging the American public and being subsidized to do it;
à ‚¬ Ban Foreign Interests from Meddling In American Elections : which would save the integrity of American elections;
à ‚¬ Alternative Energy Bill : which would create American jobs;
à ‚¬ Federal Support for Scientific Research : Medical research made this nation the envy
and a Medical Mecca for the world.

They blocked over one hundred bills, even those that had broad bipartisan support and contained many "supposed" Republican ideals. My only conclusion is they will do everything in their power to sabotage the present administration to make it look incompetent and America and be damned--until they are in back in power again.

P.S. "If You Want To Win An Election, Just Control The Voting Machines"
*The decisions to allow electronic voting for the most part, resides in the hands of each individual State under the purview of the Secretary of State of each State. Is it by "coincidence" that a large number of the states that allow the practice of electronic voting have Republican Secretaries of State, and the companies that manufacture the electronic machines are owned by Republicans who derive a huge financial benefit providing the machines that are stealing our elections. Do your own research: How many Secretaries' of State are Republican?

Commentary: George Washington set an example for American Public Service when he refused another term in office,--with even some suggesting he be made a king--if his precedent is a guide then there is something profoundly wrong with people who covet power so desperately they will sabotage "our" government and cling to their failed policies at the expense of everyday Americans.
