Then why vote Republican? The answer is that the Republicans will be more likely to create jobs.
Following this rocky thought train becomes more cumbersome at each turn. What did the man who will become senate majority leader in the event of Republican victory on Tuesday say about the goal of the next two years should his party take control of Congress?
Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky declared that the goal of a Republican congressional majority is to see that Obama is a one term president, in other words a seek and destroy mission rather than one focused on joint action in the interest of building a better America.
As for programs, we know the two-pronged strategy of Republicans in the domestic sphere. One plank involves restoring the Bush tax cuts, putting more money into the hands of those who do not need it as a means of "stimulating" economic activity.
The second goal is to repeal Obama's health care law. This will put the monopolistic health care lobby back in charge in the same way that Bush's prescription drug legislation placed power in the hands of the monopolistic prescription drug industry.
This is the kind of "consensus" that these voters, according to the New York Times Poll, would like to see function to insure the best result for America.
The answer for them is that, after acknowledging that Bush is to blame for America's current economic ills, to put the proponents of Bush economics back in charge to fix our problems by reenacting policies that put America in its predicament in the first place.
Dare we call this reason?
