Marvellous

Thank goodness Republicans can't get it together. In a largely polarized country there is a resurgence in support for the Democrats. Republicans on the other hand haven't innovated. They in fact go backwards. Their innovation comes in the form of the backwards Tea Party movement. Dems on the other hand are capable of attracting new voters. Republicans? Same old Christian white males. No change, which to my delight means no election. Now if we could just fix the problem in the senate. After all, we can't rely on Republican senators to all shoot themselves in the foot.

Barack on Same Sex

I applaud you Mr. President. That is all.

38 - 41 October Barack Approval

38% to 41%.... Barack Obama is teetering in the approval ratings. How is it possible? How is it that republican policy has crippled this country, plunged us into wars so large corporations can rebuild foreign countries, and increased our debt beyond what we can pay, better than Obama?

I will for one say Obama could've done more to put his own stamp on 'how things are done'. But inr eality all we've seen is status quo for the most part.

He had a chance, blew it, but it still doesn't change the fact the idiocy of the Bush years will take years upon years to fix.

Let's not go backwards come election time next year. We need better ideas, and the people with the guts to implement. No, that's not your run of the mill Republican either, those guys can't even put their best candidate forward because of internal politics.

Signs of Republican Policy Crippling the Economy

Regan started the move to decentralization. That meant the regulated industries that protected the interests of Americans were sold off to private corporations. Now, of course the efficiency in some of the industries was poor, hence the argument to deregulate. However, what has been the result on local jobs?

Take California, the nation's largest state, and the effect deregulation has had on the number of employed persons in the manufacturing industry.



Long before any economic destruction we can see a steady decline in the # of jobs in the manufacturing sector. Where did they all go? Well, deregulation means private firms have little regulation, duh, but also they can do whatever they want to get the lowest possible price and also the highest revenues.

That of course means taking jobs from Americans and giving it to the Chinese or the Indians.

That's where deregulation has taken us, the complete loss of the manufacturing sector. I could show other states with similar trends, but that would be pointless. Republican policy directly benefits CHinese workers while crippling Americans.

Fix the Deficit? Screw more americans

According to Republicans any way to cut the deficit must only be a reduction in taxes to the already rich. That's right, the rich pay less to help the rest of us out. What idiot votes for stupid Republicans? They're literally contributing to the mess we're stuck in. Please, why wont these people work with the rest of the country? Better yet, why hasn't the normal masses risen up to combat the theft courtesy of Republicans. Oh wait, that's what they want, everyone to do nothing but slowly lose their jobs and savings. At least the right will have lower taxes.

Obama Medicare is Facism?

Which one is it? Fascism? Islamist? Socialist? Pick one and go with it, but make sure that you don't opt for the option that makes the rich even richer. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/sep/9/obama-more-telegraph-than-iphone/ Stupid Wolf

Trump Loses Face Over Certificate Fiasco

We know he has bad hair, but if the best the Republicans can put forward is a narcissist like Trump, or a bumpkin like Palin, well we'll have another 4 years of Obama. While Trump was busy trying to conjure up a media circus around the 'long form' of Obama's Hawaii birth certificate, if for no other reason than to plaster his face on TV a bit more, Obama was at work.

Think about it, whether you like Obama or not, while Trump was masquerading around in a private helicopter for photo ops, Obama was protection national security. The same week that Trump insisted on the certificate Obama was readying the troops for an operation on Osama.

One is a yahoo, albeit a smart multi millionaire yahoo, th eother was working in the interests of the American people.

Obama was working for us, Trump was working for himself and his vain attempts to get nominated to run in the election *maybe*.

And if you think Trump did us a service by wasting everyone's time on the birth certificate issue then you're a flat out moron.
