At a fundraiser on Friday Vice President Biden compared the Republicans to those who blame the victim for a rape.
The way he rationalized this novel idea is that our society in the past used to blame the victim for a rape. "She shouldn't have worn those sexy clothes!!!" "It was all her fault for looking so slutty!!!"
The VP said that the GOP is solely responsible for the mess we're in today, as if Biden wasn't in the Senate when it happened, and in effect they are blaming the victim. The extra $5,000,000,000,000.00 in debt we have incurred in the last 2 years and 2 months is all the their fault. Democrats are the victims in all of this.
Here we are more then half way through Obama's term and they're still blaming someone else.
What it looks like to me is that in this case the perp IS the one blaming the victim, only he got it ass-backwards. The perp, represented by the Vice President, is accusing the victim, the GOP representing the people of America, of being the only reason for the debt. He forgets that he and the President had a hand in it. Well, actually, I don't think he forgets. I think he is fully aware of who is to blame, but that never stopped him and people like him from casting blame on somebody else.
Honestly, it doesn't matter now who is at fault. Why continue finger-pointing when it's obvious something must be done about the debt? Well, the truth is Democrats like the VP have no intention of letting the GOP get rid of the debt without using it against them. Their primary goal is to play the victim while the GOP attempts to fix the problem that everyone has agreed must be fixed.
Personally I think it's despicable, but what else can you expect from these people? Democrats ran up the debt faster then ever before. Not during WWII, not after 9/11, not after Katrina and numerous other Hurricanes and disasters, not after Iraq and Afghanistan. More of this debt has occurred in the last two years.
What was the primary goal of all of this debt? I'll tell you. To raise taxes. First they raise taxes on "The Rich", then on all of us. That is all there is to this. Everything that has taken place was just an all out effort to raise taxes. The trick has always been to make us like it. How do you get everyone to like the royal ass-reaming they intended on giving us. The next question is why. Why does a Democrat feel he must raise our taxes???
I know the answer. Do you???
