Letter to a whiny young Democrat
Whooter:
I think that Obama is still campaigning and trying to get people on his side. He has short changed the American Public and failed to roll up his sleeves and get to work. At least Bush didnt care about what people thought of him and did what he thought was the best for the country (not himself). He knew he was hated but continued to lead and not get caught up in the negative press.
The democrats are needed, I agree, they add balance and come in once a decade and add some needed programs (Which allow people like Shadyacres to make it through another few years without contributing to society), make television appearances, sleep with a few young interns and look us all in the face and tell us lies. Then the public remember who does all the work and keeps us all safe and they vote the Democrats out.
Its a cycle that is needed and will continue for decades to come unless we can find some people who are willing to build a third party that has credibility and funding.
...
Shadyacres:
I don't need anyone's help to not contribute to society. I have a job on one of Obama's death panels. Failed to roll up his sleeves and get to work? I'll post this again;

Good work Shadyacres.....thanks.
psy:
--- Quote from: "Shadyacres" ---I agree, well said. I think that because many of Obama's voters were younger, they are still rather impressionable. They succumbed to the unrelenting and heavily funded onslaught of advertising and propaganda. I am hoping that in two years they will have realized how they were duped and they will be ANGRY. NOTHING will happen in the next two years, period. The republican controlled house will now set about trying to undo the small amount of progress the Obama administration has made so far. They will fail, Obama has the veto, so, gridlock.
I don't see how anyone here, with the exception of Whooter, would EVER vote republican.
--- End quote ---
Are you kidding me. I'll vote republican if it's for somebody like Ron Paul or his son, Rand. Otherwise i'll vote libertarian.
Anne Bonney:
If the Republicans actually stuck to what they're supposed to stand for, I'd probably be a Republican. But they don't. I'm fiscally conservative but socially liberal. This "us v. them" mindset is killing the country. Ever since Reagan's "trickle down" fiasco, ::) it's been nothing but the rich getting richer at the expense of the middle class and poor.

Proof: Trickle Down Didn't Help, It Harmed 90% of Americans

Here's another tool to put in your arsenal to dispel the GOP disinformation. FACTS.
The 2001-2007 expansion outperformed the average post-World War II expansion in only one area:
Corporate profits, which grew much more rapidly than average.
The evidence on the 2001-2007 expansion provides no support for the claim that the tax cuts generated especially robust economic growth.

For more proof that the GOP touted wonder of Trickle Down was bad for wages and jobs, drop and check out the chart. Worst period for workers since WWII!
Please keep chipping away at the conservatives and, more importantly, the independents. Email, facebook, go viral. There are more people than you think that can be persuaded.
* War on Error's diary :: ::
For six of the seven indicators, the average annual growth rate between 2001 and 2007 was below the average growth rate for the comparable periods of other post-World War II economic expansions.
Notably, this expansion was among the weakest since World War II with respect to both overall economic growth and growth in fixed non-residential investment. These two indicators should have captured any positive “growth effects” of the tax cuts.
The labor market also was weaker during the 2001-2007 expansion. Both employment growth and wage and salary growth were weaker during this expansion as a whole than in any prior expansion since the end of World War II.
The 2001-2007 expansion outperformed the average post-World War II expansion in only one area: corporate profits, which grew much more rapidly than average.

During this same period the top 1% of Americans enjoyed the same huge gains in income of 70% they did in the 1920s. Is it any wonder our present Depression.....ahem...Recession looks just like it did in the 1930s?
Piketty and Saez’s unique data series on income inequality, based on IRS files, is particularly valuable because it provides detailed information on income gains at the top of the income scale and extends back to 1913.
The new data show:
2007 marked the fifth straight year in which income gains at the top outpaced those among the rest of the population. From 2002 to 2007, the average inflation-adjusted income of the top 1 percent of households rose 62 percent, compared to 4 percent for the bottom 90 percent of households (see Table 1).
So, once again the FACTS dispel the LIES. Trickle down was a ruse to enrich the top 1% of our population.
This article is one of the most complete and frankest articles on the debacle we are in I have found to date.
