According to Democrats, Republican congressmen have deliberately blocked all of President Obama's proposals. I agree. Those congressmen are indeed guilty.
They are guilty of blocking Obama's liberal nominees for political office. They tried to block the stimulus bills. They tried to stop the growth of entitlement programs.
They tried to block ObamaCare. They opposed raising the national debt ceiling. They want a balanced budget amendment.
For the first two years of Obama's term, Democrats controlled Congress and the Republicans didn't have the votes to stop him. Obama hasn't signed any major spending bills since Republicans gained power.
Thank you, Republican congressmen, for your brave stand. The voters should punish your dastardly deeds by re-electing you.

So Republicans want a Balanced Budget Amendment? Why didn't they pass one when THEY controlled the White House, both Houses of Congress and the Supreme Court? Also, why did they raise the debt ceiling the 8 times Bush requested it? And why didn't they overturn Roe V. Wade? I will tell you why. They are a bunch of hypocrites who only complain about spending when it isn't them. And they can only sell such nonsense to fools like you.
