How Republicans have risen from the dead by distorting Obama's agenda
and shutting down the government
=============
The GOP's resurrection has not come on the strength of transformative
ideas that can actually solve the nation's problems: Republicans
continue to peddle warmed-over Bush b from bankruptcy-inducing tax
cuts to the privatization of Social Security. Instead, it has been
achieved through what one party strategist admits is "tactical
small-ball." The GOP game is as simple as it is hypocritical. First:
Reject every Democratic proposal b including some of the exact same
initiatives that Republicans championed under Bush b while branding
the consensus-seeking Obama as a radical leftist. Second: Stoke
populist fury over exploding deficits, even though they're the fallout
of eight catastrophic years of Republican rule. (President Bush
inherited a projected surplus of $5.6 trillion and left behind a
forecasted deficit of $3 trillion.) Three: Promise to fix what's wrong
with Washington b despite having waged an all-out war to make
government appear as broken as possible.
