It’s against this backdrop that conservatives are committed to taking capital out of the economy, creating more public-sector unemployment, eliminating effective jobs programs, urging the Federal Reserve to stop focusing on lowering unemployment, and fighting tooth and nail to protect a tax policy that’s been tried for 30 years without success.

By their own admission, GOP officials have said economic growth is not their priority; Hoover-like deficit reduction is. While advocating this agenda, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said, more than once, that his “top priority” isn’t job creation, but rather, “denying President Obama a second term in office.”

It’s time to face the fact that there are people who are prioritizing the destruction of a presidency over the needs of the nation. They are willing to crash the American economy, even the global economy, to accomplish this.

Oh, and senatorseven? Standard and Poor’s says it’s Republican obstructionism and intransigence on economic policies that caused them to downgrade America’s credit. But conservatives are rejoicing over this downgrade and attempting to blame Obama for fiscal irresponsibility. Every time I think conservative logic couldn’t possibly get more blisteringly ridiculous, you lower the bar yet again.

Three key factors will affect the 2012 elections. T

The minorities will be unchangeable in their votes, they are, have been, and will be pro-Obama.

The wage earners have been undecided in their opinions of Obama, because their general opinion with the legislative branches, Congress goes on vacation for a month while unemployment goes unchecked, and that feeling of discontent bleeds over to the administrative offices of our government.

2012 needs a challenging public promotion to vote. We cannot afford to sit in our homes and watch the elections from the comfort of our TV chairs.

We need a massive promotion for people who never vote, the get to the polls and do so. America is a miserable example of lazy citizens with only 54% turning out to vote for the presidential election and only 37% for mid-terms.

Other countries put us to shame and we need to remember just 5 years ago when the Iraqi populace dared to go out under fear of death to cast their vote for the first time in 30 years, as our troops served and died for them to have that “freedom”.

We cannot be classed as a fatten calf when it comes to voting. Far too many claim voting makes no difference anyways, when they forget that the power of the vote is what gave Americans their rights and freedoms, and changed the way those rights were exemplified in the 50′s and 60′s because people DID vote.

Those reasons alone should drive us to the polls.

Then decide just who you wish to vote for.

Come 2012 though, one of the biggest problems will be with choice.

Just who do the Republicans think they will place on the chopping block for a candidate, Bachmman or Palin? I would not be surprised to see them try to put a woman in for the presidency, just to gain the female vote, but?

That said, I hope my faith isn’t misplaced.
