What is your connection of the GOP to that photo? Is the sign carrier a GOP congressman? Did the GOP give him the sign and tell him to display it? I have no idea who that person is, what his intentions are, to which party he is affiliated, for all I know, you sent him there. The photo does nothing to support the assertion that the GOP is demonizing Obama. And if it's a set-up, it is even worse.
I don't really care about party. I vote based on the candidates and the issues, and I'm fairly certain I've voted for far more Republican candidates over the years than Democrats.
So this is supposed to give you the bona fides to connect the GOP to that photo?
So did you actually read any of these before you cut and pasted?
To provide for a credit for certain health care benefits in determining the minimum wage.
To amend the Small Business Act to make service-disabled veterans eligible under the 8(a) business development program.
To require the Secretary of the Treasury to analyze and report on the exchange rate policies of the People's Republic of China, and to require that additional tariffs be imposed on products of that country on the basis of the rate of manipulation by that country of the rate of exchange between the currency of that country and the United States dollar.
To amend the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to authorize assistance to improve security and promote economic development in Mexico.
Etc...
These are the great GOP ideas we've been waiting for? Did any make it past sub committee?

When you google the HR numbers, you will find numbers for various years. For instance the HR321 that refers to the foreign exchange rate policies of China is the 2007 bill. The 2009 HR321 is the health care version. The HR502 that refers to security in Mexico is the 2007 bill. The 2009 bill is the health care version. The majority of the HRs I listed are small items. The largest, most important one, in the list is HR3218. It is titled
Improving Health Care For all Americans Act, introduced by Republican House Representative John Shadegg.
So which NON-EXISTENT Republican health care proposal is Democrat congressman Alan Grace referring to when he says the Republican health care plan tells you to die quickly? Is this demonizing rather than furthering the debate? Or is it demonizing and obstructing only if a Republican says it?
