Obscanity: You'll know it when you see it

I’ve been saying all along that the current Republican strategy is to let the economy tank, and fight against every possible measure designed to prevent that from happening. They *want* the economy to fail, at least until 2010 and 2012, and they’re willing to do anything to make that happen. Then when we’re all in the poorhouse or jumping out of windows like in 1929, the Republicans will say, “Hey, look, the Democrats failed. Elect us instead.” Hopefully the American people won’t be stupid enough to fall for it – especially now that they’ve admitted outright what they are trying to do:

“We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., an outspoken conservative who has participated on the GOP message teams. “Our goal is to bring down approval numbers for [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and for House Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon, not a sprint.”
