"Abortion is not Healthcare"

Jobs, jobs, jobs is the GOP mantra, at least in the House of Representatives. Yet if that is the case, why does the GOP spend so much time on abortion restrictions? Because they know that abortion restrictions please their base. They also know that the election in November will hinge in large part on the direction of the economy. Therefore, we can look for no actions on their part to stimulate job growth before November. A booming economy will help Barack‘s re-election, while continuing stagnation or slow growth will help Mitt Romney.

GOP insiders privately concede that Mitt can’t win in November. However, the race will go on and enormous sums will be spent in negative ads, particularly virulent and false ads by the GOP superpacs. The contest should not be close and it would not be if Barack were white. Mitt is not racist, but some voters will vote against Barack because Mitt is white and he is not.

I am looking forward to the debates; they will feature two men who look presidential. With Mitt, it stops there. Barack not only looks presidential, he is President and thinks, speaks and acts presidential. It will be no contest. Barack will blow Mitt out of the water.

Mitt Romney finally said something that I agree with. Speaking about Barack Obama, he said, “His four years have been a disappointment.” Of course, the GOP have done everything in their power to make the Obama years a disappointment to his supporters and to the nation. Barack has been in office only 3.5 years. Does Mitt know something about the remaining 8 months that the rest of us don’t?

Barack Obama Truth Team report for May 6, 2012.

Barack’s birth certificate, the Fast and Furious scandal, the Solyndra scandal, Obamacare, all these are purely distractions, invented or hyped to give the GOP reasons to attack the President which they intended to do, no matter the circumstances. The real issue this election cycle is the economy and the Republicans have done everything they can to slow the recovery. Today the voters in France and Greece will give their verdict on the austerity that the GOP wants to impose on the US. I’m betting that austerity over there will be voted out, and we don’t want it over here.

Jobs gained in the private economy are being lost in the public sector as cash-strapped states layoff thousands of employees. What this economy needs is more stimulus so that consumers feel confident enough to spend and so that they have money to spend creating demand. In normal times if the GOP were in power, they would be stimulating the economy to win election or re-election. After the election, the GOP usually induces a recession to check inflation at the insistence of the 1%. Then the 99% would suffer through the recession. If the GOP were to win in November and institute austerity, I believe that we will experience the Great Depression 2.

US Presidential Elections Dem GOP

Usually a political party crafts a winning strategy by adopting policies that appeal to 50% + 1 of the electorate. This year the GOP is appealing only to its base which is a minority of the electorate. They plan to win in November by preventing voters likely to vote for the other party from casting a ballot. If the election is close, they will try to steal it. In order to defeat the GOP strategy, we must work harder than in 2008. We must register new voters, help them get to the polls, vote early if possible and volunteer as poll watchers. This election is too important to allow the GOP to regain power in Washington, DC.
