I'm sure if Republicans win in November they'll have plenty of years to dominate politics with social issues while screwing over jobs, the economy, employees, the poor, middle class, women, gays, racial minorities, religious minorities, and healthcare even more while making the rich man and big corporations even wealthier. Vote Obama/Democrat 2012 for freedom and equality for all Americans and to fix the economy, jobs, and healthcare.

“Good luck with that !!!!”

Unfortunately, while I loathe Romney, Obama hasn't been able to do anything except grow Gov't.
His views on personal freedoms (with the exception of gays) is no different than that of his GOP counterparts. He's broken his transparency promise, advocates the return of blasphemy laws, will not help out medical cannabis patients by using his ability to reclassify cannabis and has kept us in wars that we have no business being in while the U.S. continues to go broke.

It's their only chance, since the "culture wars" are passing them by and showing them for the dinosaurs they are.

Of course, they don't accept Keynesian economics either, so their economic ideas are equally creaky and outdated.

Are they supposed to be fixing the economy with magic, perhaps?:)

What the article should say is that, since the Democrat/Progressive caucus has determined that launching attacks on Republicans using contraception, homosexual marriage and abortion has backfired, Republican can now GET BACK TO the economy.

Stop preteding that Harry Reid's the obstructionist here. We all know who the obstructionists are, they're the Republicans who have prevented nominees to federal posts or the judiciary from being confirmed, who've prevented budgets from being adopted, and who've played games with the debt ceiling almost to the point of forcing a federal default - a situation which damaged the U.S. credit rating.

Republicans seem bent on DESTROYING the economy, or at least damaging it until they can defeat Obama and seize the White House.
