   Republicans have be very unguarded about the fact that their entire objective is to try to impair Obama’s Presidency by forcing the passage of a weak reform bill. They make no bones about the fact that they put the best interests of the GOP ahead of the best interests of the USA.

   I’m just sorry Democrats like To Carper have decided to abet them in that.

   The Democrat plan is to distract, distort, and dissemble. They don’t even have a plan together yet so they want to distract from the fact that they do not have a plan which can get Democrat votes together. They want to distract people from looking at a fiasco which has nothing to do with what will work, but what type of face saving deals can be reached. They are doing that by outright lying about Republicans and distorting the facts that they locked Republicans and their ideas out of the debate in all but one committee.

   It takes a lot of nerve for Republicans to accuse Democrats of distortion and dissembling. Remember death panels?

   Here is the Dem Plan:

   10% unemployment

   record deficits

   record tax increases

   massive cuts in Medicare

   Failed Obama war in Afghanistan

   No accomplishments.

   Catchy ads does not change that reality.

   “they locked Republicans and their ideas out of the debate in all but one committee”

   Call the wahmbulance. They locked progressives and their single-payer idea out, too. It’s called “compromise.” Look it up.

    Talk about lying.

    There’s a Commandment for that.

    DR suggests the following Democratic plan “Failed Obama war in Afghanistan”

    Do you have the memory of a goldfish?

    When did the war begin? What party controlled the White House (the arm of government in charge of waging war)? What party controlled Congress (the arm of government in charge of funding a waged war)?

    What President then began a second war/invasion that diverted attention and resources from said war in Afghanistan? What party was that President from? What party controlled congress when this war/invasion began?

    WTF are you thinking when you call Afghanistan Obama’s war?

    WTF are you thinking when you call the 10% unemployment Obama’s responsibility?

    Newly submitted unemployment applications peaked on 1/10/09 (who was in office–oh yeah, the Republican) at 956,791, and has come down to less than half of that as of 9/26/09 (you know, when the Democratic President has been in office all of 8 months) (http://www.ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/wkclaims/report.asp)

    An airline pilot should know that in order to land, you have to first stop accelerating. The unemployment rate (which is known by those who read anything is a lagging indicator) has stopped accelerating under Obama, after accelerating under W.

    An airline pilot should know that you can’t turn a large object around on a dime. The US economy is much larger than a state economy, a county’s, etc. The progress that Obama has made to the country’s economy in the past nine months is startling (unless your head is stuck in your goldfish bowl, apparently starved of oxygen).

    I always thought Pelosi should have separated the funding for Iraq and Afghanistan into two separate bills. We sure would have found out where everybody stood.

    Well, Republicans did put this plan forward back in June. I guess you folks have been too busy saying that there is no GOP plan to notice it.

    For that matter, there is all of this as well:

    Now would you like to keep saying that there is nothing coming out of the GOP on health care, or would you like to deal with reality.
