Editor,
I think it’s funny to see time and time again Republicans trying to shift the blame for their failures to Democrats. The Democratic Senate hasn’t passed a budget? Ha. It’s been the GOP-run House that has refused to compromise on anything the Senate or the president has put forward.
It’s been the goal of the GOP, especially the incredibly stupid and corrupt Tea Party, to not let anything good happen for this country while Obama is in office. They want to convince the stupid and ignorant people of the country that Democrats are bad, and to blindly vote for Republicans, regardless of whether their policies will only make the rich richer and the poor even worse off.
It’s the scare tactic they’ve been pulling since the 1950s, only repackaged. It’s no longer “Vote Republican, ‘cause if you vote Democrat, the commies will take over.” Now it’s “Vote Republican, ‘cause if you vote Democrat, they’ll steal all your money.” Typical GOP fearmongering.
