Tiahrt rips Obama for trying to fix the economy, which he hopes will fail

Rep. Todd Tiahrt is among those who have jumped the Republican Herbert Hoover bandwagon on doing nothing about he economy and tearing into President Barack Obama for trying to fix it.
According to The Wichita Eagle:

“President Obama’s year-old economic stimulus package has created one industry — that of stimulus criticism, noted Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank. He counted Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Goddard, among those “who have used the measure to build an assembly line of press releases,” quoting a Tiahrt release declaring that “the only thing the Obama stimulus plan has accomplished is building a bigger government.”

Of course Tiahrt has no plan to fix joblessness and homelessness himself. He and the other Republicans are taking a delight in grid-locking congress and keeping the new president from getting anything done at all. Their plan seems to be to keep the president lock in a position where he can accomplish nothing….that is to say, no health reform, no success on fixing the economy, no action of any kind to fix the problems we are in. They will keep the white house impotent until the next presidential elections, in which the figure to win by default,
The have no program or plan of their own to fix the economy. That doesn’t matter. They seem to take it for granted that people will vote out a president that they have rendered ineffective. They have offered nothing new themselves. They strictly tear down what any one else tries to do and they blather on about budget deficits that our children will inherit. They are following the likes of Herbert Hoover, who was voted out of office for doing nothing about the economy and showing indifference to the poor. He was voted out and his philosophy was completely discredited. And strangely enough today’s Republicans think they can win with this philosophy. Given their success at convincing people there is no global warming, this latest strategy is no surprise. The evidence for that phenomenon, global warming, is overwhelming and yet these politicians and their black-shirts, the Tea Baggers, have convinced people not to worry that polar ice caps are melting.


Herbert Hoover and Tiahrt- Prosperity is just around the corner—just trust us.

Palin helps Tiahrt encourage the idiot right

Sarah Palin is coming to Wichita May 2 as a fundraiser for Bethel Life School, a Christian school serving prekindergarten through eighth grade. She will also be welcomed by most of Wichita’s Republican Party and their Pachyderm Club.There’s no doubt that Palin has her supporters here in Kansas. But this is the same state that gave us the simpleton-snake-oil-salesman US Representative Todd Tiahrt. There seems to be a stark resemblance between the two. Both seem to do well with the Christian right and their religious cults. There also seems to be a new breed of Republicans that are anti-intellectual. If scientists say the artic poles are melting due to global warming, these simpletons stand out with their Tea Party Legions and yell “Global Warming is a scam.” They also insist that all facets of evolution are unscientific and against the Bible.
These are the minions that clamour to see Sarah “Barbie Bimbo” Palin. She knew nothing of foreign affairs when she ran for office as vice president against the Barrack Obama Team. She’s run a state with a very small population. She is not even governor material much less presidential material. Her quippy sound bites such as comparing a soccer mom to a pit bull, are designed for that “I’m just like you” vote. Unfortunately those like her just aren’t too well educated or smart.The press has done its best to make a celebrity of this dumb-as-they-come clueless Barbie doll.
From The Wichita Eagle:

“Palin became an overnight political celebrity when presidential candidate and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., chose her as his vice presidential running mate in 2008.Since then, she's resigned her Alaska governorship and has begun to write, speak and provide commentary on the Fox News Channel.Her book, "Going Rogue: An American Life," became an instant bestseller when it hit the shelves in November.Palin's conservative views, perky good looks and folksy manner have made her a hero to Republican conservatives and put her on the short list of possible nominees to challenge President Obama in 2012.”

Having her for president would be like having George W. Bush all over again. His simple logic got us in two wars and drove the economy in the ground. There is plenty more damage for this buffoon if she gets into office to finish Bush’s work.Palin has also been to Salina, KS, just recently.
