GOP CONVENTION GREAT SUCCESS FOR DEMOCRATS

 Every man woman and child, except those whose teachers worked hard to teach them, Genesis and not the constitution in civics class in high school, know that the power of the purse is in the hands of the House of Representatives. The power to tax and spend is in the hands of those who control that body. Recently, they should have learned that the people in charge would not compromise; political scientists call this the “tyranny of the majority”.  In the U.S. Senate it is even worse, they created filibuster rule to allow a minority to rule. The point is that the Republicans are in charge of the economy not Obama.

The Karl Rove strategy is to blame the President for trashing the economy. The truth is those in charge of the purse are trashing the economy. Against all odds, the President is adding jobs, and growing the economy slowly and steadily in spite of the Congress. They are doing what they are doing for the worst of reasons, to destroy Obama, a man whose face should be on Mount Rushmore someday, the man who saved democracy, along side of the face of the man who saved the Union.

The point of this Firetreeblogspot.com is that the Republican Convention in Tampa forcefully pointed out that to solve our problems the voters have to get rid of those who are causing the problem, which would be the 12% approval rated Republican controlled Congress but especially vote out their leaders: Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Jon Johnson. All Democrats and Republicans agree with this Convention objective—thanks to the convention, I have never seen such unity on a nationwide scale.  By the way, it is abundantly clear from the convention that Romney is only a figurehead. Ryan and Cantor, the real leaders: the shadow Speakers of the House, which is the government body responsible for prolonging the Republican inspired economic mess.    

Obama is doing a great job but the very people the GOP wants to put in charge of the White House are the problem. Karl’s dream; buy the Congress, buy the Supreme Court, buy the white house and turn our democracy into a plutocracy; a country ruled by individualists with the altruists’ community, regardless of political affiliation, at their feet.
