The number two Democrat in the House has joined the growing ranks of those in his party who argue that Republicans are deliberately sabotaging the economy in order to defeat President Obama.
“There’s no intention on behalf of the Republicans in the House of Representatives to try to help the president move this country forward,” Rep. Steny Hoyer told reporters Thursday morning, according to TPM. “I quote Jesse Jackson, who I thought said it best, there are a lot people in Washington who want to drown the captain and are prepared to sink the ship in order to do so.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Rep. George Miller—a close ally of Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi—among others have made a similar case recently, the latter on MSNBC's PoliticsNation. Demcorats point to Republicans' refusal to approve relatively uncontroversial measures like the Transportation Bill, as well as their threat to once again refuse to raise the nation's debt limit.

It's all about the GOP doing what ever it takes to hurt President Obama chances of re-election, even if it hurts the entire economy, that myself and everyone else in the Country that work for a living, middle class and poor, Black or White, Hispanic or Asian if you are not wealthy, (the 1 to 2%) they the Republicans are against you and your family, and they are not even trying to hide it ?
Yup.
That about sums it up.
It is finally becoming clear that republicans will halt the War on Drugs, wreck the economy, and commit treason to get an african american out of the white house (click here).
Racism has screwed up the country in a bad way.
