What we are witnessing today in the economy and the stock market is the logical conclusion of Republican policy and leadership...
There was no other way for this to end...
Ha! This economic mess is far bigger than him , and has root causes deeper than any president
... that Republican economic theories don't add up is that they are never coupled with REDUCTION IN GOVERNMENT SPENDING. If Republicans started off getting the tax monkey off your back, and actually allowed you to prosper with your kept income, then it would work.
We haven't had fiscally-conservative Republicans in the Congress for a long time. America had a chance with Ron Paul, but the corporate media completely demonized and marginalized him, so that chance is gone. And you know what? We watched that happen. So the true fault comes back to YOU AND ME.
Remember the old saying..... "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely". Clinton gets/takes credit for the economy of the 90's. Of course, much of that growth was built on cheap credit, and we are only now starting to see that the wealth of the 90's was phony. When the Republicans forgot why they were given majorities in '94, they destroyed their future. The prospects of the Democrats having the presidency and both houses of contracts scares me to death. Barack Obama's presidency will be Jimmy Carter's second term, full of missteps caused by his lack of experience, and hire taxes for all. John McCain does nothing for me, as I feel he is nothing but a RINO. I was going to vote for Bob Barr, but I'm thinking a slight check on congress, in the form of Sarah Palin, might be a good idea. I might push the button for McCain after all.
SAVE SYLVANIA TOWNSHIP!!!!!!! NO ON 8, NO ON 16!!!!!!!!!
