Republican Economy, if that’s not an oxymoron I’ve never heard one.

The republican party no longer knows what the real economy is. They haven’t learned in the last 25+ years that the only thing that trickles down is what runs down their legs if they don’t get to the bathroom in time.

Giving wealthy corporations and their execs tax breaks to move middle class jobs out of this country is good for the economy………………….. ………………………. WELL THERE’S YOUR SIGN PEOPLE. 

Letting Wall Street gamble on the odds that bad mortgages are going to fail and calling that the economy…………………………………………………. …………………………………………………. I think that may even be too stupid for a sign.

Hardy you said that Obama has ALREADY increased the deficit more than Bush did.

Here is the headline on one of those links of yours:

Do you see that word MAY? They’re talking about projections based on assumptions made by right wing economist as is the Foundry and CNN is reporting what these two wingnut organizations are saying.

They’re not facts they’re just more wingnut Bullshit. 

As far as the wars being Obama’s to stop, yes they are, but again you’re expecting him to clean up Bush’s eight year worth of distruction in one year. 

"Sherrie if Bush put us in such a financial debt in 8 years then why did it only take Obama 8 months to meet and exceed that?"

He hasn’t. I don’t know where you got that information but I could probably guess and be in the neighborhood.

What republicans still fail to take into account are the 10 billion per month they were spending on the war and never included in their budget figures. When you look at the "official" figures that are floating around out there for the Bush budget deficit those 10s of billions (make that hundreds of billions in reality) aren’t in many of them that come from right wing sources. 

Thanks for the link macwoof, your’re right it is almost as good as Jon Stewart. It’s right up there with Colbert’s commentary about that guy fawking Michele Bachman.

As usual, you’re wrong. What some of the voters here in Virginia sadly responded to was their frustration that President Obama hasn’t succeed in one year to clean up the disastrous economic mess that the past 25+ years of republicanomics has created in the country.

They were bombarded for months with ads sponsored by health care industry and NRA lobbies that made it sound as if all the problems in this country were caused in the last year and forecasting further disasters if we let the Democrats continue to "tax and spend" or to take away "our second amendment rights", and yada yada yada. The same tired, deceitful bullshit that the republicans have  used as catch phrases for the last 25+ years.

The there were still the ignorant red neck voters who don’t take the time and trouble (or don’t know how) to really find out what’s a candidate really stands for and rely on wingnut propaganda hucksters like Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity for their information. 

I understand what you’re saying Joan and agree completely. I remember hearing Barbara Walters tell a story of being there and inadvertently sitting in a restaurant on the side that is reserved for "men only". She was told she would have to move to the "private room for women". She also wore a scarf when in public.

I see no reason why we should have to show respect for something we have no reason to respect but in Hillary’s case I defer to her better judgement on things diplomatic. She has much more to be concerned about when dealing with that part of the world than fashion and I’m sure defiance of their culture wouldn’t serve her well in matters of diplomacy.

"I saw one comment about how weed shouldn’t be on the earth???? Well, it is, GOD MADE IT. He intends for us to use it!

Man made BEER, GOD made POT, WHO DO YOU TRUST?????"

More republican hypocrisy.

They want to keep government out of our lives, RIGHT!!

They want a substance more harmless to health than tobacco and less addictive than alcohol to be illegal.

BUT, they don’t want the semi-automatic weapons used by the dealers of illegal drugs to be illegal. 

(Now what do you suppose kills more people, marijuana or the guns that the dealers use?)

If a woman who has lost every other means of support turns to prostitution it’s immoral and illegal and she should be arrested.

BUT, they don’t want any government services to be offered to that woman so that she doesn’t have to resort to that life.

(Now what do you suppose costs them more in the long run, the law enforcement and judicial process costs and correctional housing and medical care of that woman or a few months of social services to help her get out of the rough spot?)

Oh, they don’t want goverment in our lives if it’s to provide actual benifits to our country. They just want it to enforce their twisted "morality" on all of us.  

"Sherry, Who exactly are you to decide who is worth what salary?"

I’m a human being with common sense. I was asked for my opinion on that topic and I gave it. 

"glorify it." 

I don’t glorify anything or anybody.

"For those concerned about sick and dying children ( of course we all do)." 

Not if it’s they may cost you and extra $1 in taxes because YOUR administration costed their parents their jobs and health care benefits. 

"What do you say about this administrations dismal performance on the H1N1 vaccine distribution and the children and adults who have died so far that could not get the promised vaccine?"

Since when does the White House have a pharmacuetical manufacturing wing?

"Are Microsoft, Google and the entire Hollywood Entertainment making to much money as well???"

Yes, they absolutely are. Nobody is worth millions when the life of a sick child isn’t worth affordable health care.
