The Republicans have their strategy, and theyre sticking to it, even though it involves destroying lives and even killing people.

Its working so well based on a simple statistical reality.

The majority of Americans depending on which survey you look at, between 60 and 75 percent cannot name which political party controls the House of Representatives, which party controls the Senate, or either.

Because most Americans dont know who controls Congress, when Congress misbehaves, as they have been doing for six years, most Americans arent sure who to blame.

Enter the Republican Chaos Strategy, based entirely on this statistical and political reality.

And common sense suggests that well over 90 percent of Americans know that Barack Obama is the president and that he is a Democrat.

The Republicans know this, too, and its the other half of their strategy.

Therefore, what the Republicans know, is that if they can cause damage to the American economy and to American working people, the average voter, not realizing it was exclusively the Republicans who did it, are going to assume that the president and the Democratic Party he is a member of must bear some or maybe even all of the responsibility.

Its a brilliant strategy: Damage the country and you damage the Democratic Party.
