The famous Republican victory this fall? Remember who gets the credit for saying so

FoxNews, Squawk Hannity, Flush Limbaugh … America’s most admired and respected wise conservative thinkers political liars very much need for things to stay terrible in this country.

Otherwise who and what can they condemn?

Or who or what could they support as viable alternatives?

Economy showing signs of improvement. The only argument is “not fast enough” as if some Reflublican could have improved the economy faster.

Health care reform arguments are fading more rapidly every week. Regarding health care issues still close to page one are the self-serving and cruel antics of health care insurers, still looking for ways to not insure pre-existing conditions.

And where are those overdue death panels? Perhaps Sarah will tell those million teenagers on FaceBook if she knows.,

And how about those tea-baggers? You know! An entire movement stigmatized by nut cases picking on a citizen in a wheel chair and spitting on elected officials. So far all that seems to be occurring is tea-bagging as a badge moving closer and closer to the unreasonableness of the militias up in the hills just waiting for someone to shoot at.

Mining and oil drilling disasters are too obviously a consequence of corporate activity and oversight or lack thereof. Hard to pin those disasters on the Obama administration or Obama-era Congress both of whom are taking actions to address the problems and their perceived Republican perpetrators of those problems.

Then of course there’s the fact of all that money paid out to the Republicans-in-charge while the Wall Street and the Banks were robbing citizens, pillaging the institutions and looting the tax-payer piggy bank.

Pointing at Gaithner and Larry Summers is going to fade as the administration listens more to Volcker and Congress itself picks up the investigatory and accountability stick to smack the smackables.

Republicans, by resisting Wall Street and Banker reform and moving too slowly on drilling policy all the while that dang offshore black gold spigot handle is busted have not endeared themselves to a voting public where even the tea-baggers are impatient for change.

And finally this from the TPM article that prompts my optimism and speculations:

If the economy produces jobs over the next eight months at the same pace as it did over the past four months, the nation will have created more jobs in 2010 alone than it did over the entire eight years of George W. Bush's presidency.
