The real issue in this presidential election

From the Republicans' standpoint the most important issue is to make Barack Obama a one-term president. This was eloquently said by Senator Mitch McConnell when he spoke at the Heritage Foundation in 2010. For him, Boehner, Romney, Ryan and most of the Republicans, the priority wasn't the Nation's debt, the deficit, the economy or even job creation.  It was crystal clear: Getting rid at all cost of Obama.

Obstructing him was the choice strategy and it has hurt America ever since our current president was inaugurated. I'm pretty sure that the secret wish from a large portion of the GOP was to see the economy tank, the jobless rate grow shoot into double-digit to secure the elimination of a president they despise.

This of course, begs the question, why? Is it racism? Quite probably. It's also the fact that the anglo-white male is on his last leg in terms of dominating the American political agenda. Women, latinos, asians and non-white are gaining influence upon the country and the tables are rapidly turning. This might be the last election in which the GOP is still likely to get some traction. Given their wicked priorities, I hope they don't!
