Why The GOP's Stance on Russian Interference In The Election Should Come As A Surprise To Nobody. [View all]

Back in January 2009, the country was experiencing the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression. And what did the GOP do? They met secretly, and decided they were going to block, obstruct, and delay ANYTHING that Obama and the Democrats might try to do to make things better. They didn't WANT things to get better, because that would make them look bad. They wanted things to get WORSE for Americans, so that they could get back into power again.

So, they actually voted AGAINST a stimulus plan that was 2/3 tax cuts. Tax cuts that were put there specifically to appease the GOP, and yet NOT ONE Republican voted for it in the House, and they did everything they could to FILIBUSTER it in the Senate.

So, if they were willing to try to make the economy WORSE, and willing to see Americans suffer, and lose their jobs, and their homes, and their pensions just to get back into power....it comes as absolutely no surprise that they'd be willing to accept espionage from the Kremlin as a means of getting back into power. The results justify the means.
