In a sign that combat and the 2012 elections rather than compromise could mark the next two years, GOP leader Sen. Mitch McConnell on Thursday called for Senate votes to repeal or erode Obama's signature health care law, to cut spending and to shrink government.
"The only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things," McConnell said in a speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Imagine Republicans taking back the White House. We have just been told their master plan: fuck things up as much as they can for the next two years, then privatize everything in 2014 if they make it to the White House. George Bush recently said that his greatest failure as president was not privatizing social security. I just really don't understand how so many people can vote for a party who out-rightly says that their goal is basically to make the rich richer. And it is not just Republicans - it is those Tea Party-ers too! OK, fine, Democrats as well. :) And this is a huge problem for all of us. Too many people have been bought off by giant corporations and powerful lobbies, and it sucks that we sit back and let it happen. I feel like I am watching our government structure deteriorate, and it seems so obvious to me.
On the bright side, I still have hope that I am wrong!
