- Do you know what the major problem of the Republican Party is?
Just like the rightie commenters here - who truly are a reflection of their philosophy and ideals - the only thing that they can see is their personal wealth and the rate at which they are accumulating more of it.
And nothing - not ethics, not morality, not religion, not patriotism, not even the America or the world that their children will inherit - matters more to them.
It - and they - are sad. - Reply to this comment

- Don't you love how those people who can only see their own interests assume that anybody who doesn't put their interests first is a "lib"?
- Actually, I said that wrong...the people who cry "lib" are those who are too short-sighted, too myopic, to see further than their interests of today.
Hence, why they hacked and hacked at the economic branch they, too, were sitting on.
- 467 million lost their jobs in the US last month. Wow, things really are bad. That's every man, woman and child in the country times 1.5!!!

- Rasmussen polls aren't worth the paer they're written on. Rasmussen is a far right Bush acolyte who had Mac.Cain ahead by 3 points on election day. Just remember it took 8 years of bad leadership to get us here, it may take longer than 6 months to get us out.

- oops..."charged with their monitoring such as the SEC"
I have an entirely different grudge against the FCC, which appears to now be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Telco and cable industries. - Reply to this comment
- If Obama is guilty of misjudgement at all it's that he underestimated how deep a hole 8 years of Shrub had left the country in. All you righty-tighties hes go another 40 months to go, by which time his ideas will have had time to bear fruit. You'll see, there'll be no holding back the anti-GOP wave next go round.

lollll...that is the problem with you righties; your vision is of necessity short-term due to your sole interest and motivation: What is in your wallet right now and how much you can shove into it today.
For example, you immediately imply that I am blaming Bush, when what I put forward as the cause are Republican policies that began over three decades ago.
It takes a lot to change the course of a behemoth such as the American economy.
Our economy - for a time - was able to absorb body blows like "trickle-down" economics, which we survived that by sending everybody's spouse to work, thus incurring great damage to the nuclear family the Republicans point to as one of their "values".
But when they attacked the base of our production/consumption economy by using inequitable free trade to offshore production of goods and the provision of services, they went too far. Our economy began hemorrhaging both jobs and dollars offshore; that was too much.
Consequently, the right had to work with the Fed to drive our economy with easy credit.
That might have worked - at least long enough for them to escape the White House, and thus be able to blame all of the ill-effects of their greed upon the inevitable and subsequent Democratic Administration, but their greed lead them to make two further and horrible mistakes:
They deregulated Wall Street and banking, and put blinders on the law enforcement agencies charged with their monitoring such as the FCC. That lead to massive corruption and leveraging in the mortgage industry.
Consequently, when the Republican's shielding of Big Oil's profits (at the expense of future oil shocks and wars) came home to bite us in the form of rampant speculation in oil futures and soaring energy costs, BOOM!
They tipped the economy over the edge, and the whole house of cards came tumbling down.
But it took the Republicans 30-odd years to make our economy so vulnerable, which really is a pretty good showing for the rest of us: Not too many nations - if any - have had so much success at resisting an attack from an internal enemy who had almost all of their country's wealth at their disposal. - Reply to this comment

- How is that big $13 a week treating you or did the big increase in gasoline the last few months eat it up? That has to Bushes fault again! No way Obungler should be held accountable for anything. Lets give him the credit when credit is due and blame Bush when things don't go right. Seems there is alot more blaming Bush these days then giving credit where credit is due.

- It's obvious where the blame belongs. 8 years of Bushes wars have killed the econimy along with the all for the rich nothing for the working families mentality. All you Bushies whine somemore I love it. You would like for us to believe your alter reality but we have more brains then the monkey braind retardlikins wish we have. I think your on cheap drugs. We were saddled with the so called conservative stink heap and look where we ended up. On a stink heap. All I have seen lately is you conservativs talk the talk but can't keep your little wangers in your pants. So much for all you preachers of republican puppet talk. Obviosly you don't believe your own propaganda. Talk about spenders. Your party has spent us into the poor house. Now you want to point at liberals and say we spend to much. If it wasn't for you so called conservatives we wouldn't be in this shape. Your party has set an all time high for nonconservation. Money couldn't be printed fast eneough to keep up with your clown leaders. We are now in dept to the communist Chinese so deep we can't see the light from the bottom of the hole. So talk somemore conservative dung, those of us with brains are on the floor laughing our arsses off. Thanks for the great joke known as the Retardlican party. Party on.
- Hip hip horray!! I can dance to that sentiment.

I think that's exactly what the Dem voters want -- a gov't that will take care of them so they don't have to work.
