Occasionally they tell the truth, part 9: Keith Ellison: "need to create a real crisis"

From MPR News:
"Ellison: Dems must 'create crisis' to force GOP on tax cut"

You may remember Keith Ellison for the minor controversy about being sworn into Congress with a Koran.

I'm not sure where to begin my comments. First of all I think that the need to create a crisis rather than focus on good policy tells you something about the way the left thinks. It's not about doing what's best for the country. It's about creating a crisis to get their way.

More importantly, though, is he blind, deaf, and dumb? Hello, Keith! Obama ALREADY created the crisis. Obama and Bush already ran the economy into the ground with wasteful spending and ridiculous, pork-laden, union-saving "stimulus" programs. Is this not enough of a crisis for you, Keith?

Maybe I'm reading his comments wrong. Maybe Ellison is trying to explain to us why Obama deliberately chose these destructive actions, to get us to this point. Who knows.
