It's been rumored among liberal activists, hinted at by Democratic leaders and even said outright on snarky blogs. But until now, no one had any actual, concrete, documented proof. Now we have it, courtesy of MSNBC's Chris Jansing and Rep. Loretta Sanchez, the five-term Democrat representing California's 46th and 47th districts.
On Jansing's weekday-morning news/commentary show, Jansing & Co., in this interview reposted to YouTube, Sanchez revealed earlier this week that she has personally heard fellow members from the other side of the aisle, behind closed doors in the House, admitting in her presence that they not only want to keep the economy in the toilet and millions of unemployed out of work in hopes of making President Barack Obama look bad and winning back the White House (and possibly the Senate as well) next year, but are actively working to make sure that happens.
Naturally, she refuses to name names when prompted, as she still has to (try to) work with these ass-clowns. This will admittedly make her claim harder to trust...but if true, it's the first confirmation of what many of us on the left end of the political spectrum have long suspected. It explains the mule-headed behavior regarding the debt ceiling, the American Jobs Bill and so much else about these despicable "leaders" and how they really regard those who voted them in—as tools to win an election, and nothing more.
Being among those millions of un- and under-employed mentioned above, I probably ought to be spitting mad about this. But I'm actually finding hope in this news...because between this revelation, the GOP Presidential nomination candidates' various implosions in the debates and news coverage, and last week's unequivocal national repudiation (err, "refudiation"—sorry, Ms. Palin) of their party's extremist agenda and their damn-the-economy, destroy-Obama-at-any-cost strategy, they're handing my party the elections of 2012 on the proverbial silver platter. One year hence, the American people will know which party is really interested in helping them get back to work and the economy get back on track..and which party is only interested in helping themselves to power and money.
