The Republican Debate
I have watched it twice. The answer they all seem to have is what created the crisis in the first place. Lower taxes for the rich and deregulate businesses. That is exactly what caused the near economic collapse in America in the first place. Are Americans so stupid that they will believe this bull shit?
We tried this during the Bush years and went from a surplus to a deficit. It took Bush 8 years to destroy the American economy and they claim Obama failed because he hasn’t created a magical fix in three years. Republicans have fought tooth and nail to insure the downfall of America and now they blame Obama. Are we so stupid to agree with them?
Wake up America.
I’m watching it right now on the DVR.
I wonder how many times Bachmann is going to mention she has 23 foster children? Not to equate human life with pets, but both are worthy of fostering… what does one think of a lady who has 23 cats?
Poor Ron Paul. He’s too smart to be president. He might as well be speaking another language based upon the high-minded things he’s preaching about monetary policy and the Fed.
I guess it’s all how you see it, John. I remember that we had six good years under Bush…and it wasn’t until Obama started campaigning in 2006, using class envy that things really started falling apart. Do you expect the American people to be so stupid as to re-elect a President that is the most unfriendly President to the business community that this country has ever seen? The woman I live with just lost her job…they closed every restaurant in the chain throughout the whole state of arizona. Why? Did Bush push through a health care bill that is closing businesses all over America? No…that would be Obama. Don’t worry…McDonald’s and all the big chains will still be open…Obama has granted them waivers…but if you think it’s bad now…what til it gets closer to 2014, when ObamaCare kicks in. I met a guy not long ago that had a company with 760 people working in it…and he has had to cut it down to 60 people. Why? Because of ObamaCare…and he says by 2014…he’ll have his crew down undeer the 24 person limit so he does not have to buy the health insurance or pay the fine. Has that been good for America, John? This is what has happened since Obama took over…not what has happened under Bush. Obama took a bad situation and made it much worse. That’s my opinion. Herman Cain 2012
I didn’t watch it and had no interest in doing so. All it could have been was a bunch of idiots standing up there saying pick me..pick me. Of course they want lower taxes on companies and the rich. Those are the people they will be looking to for money for their future failure. Did they ask stupid questions like the last one?
HAHAHAHA!! Just got to the point where Romney says “…we should bring our troops home as soon as we can turn the country over to the Taliban military…” Okay, he misspoke, but they flashed to a guy in uniform at the moment who visibly flinched.
Pres. Obama did not bring us to Iraq the second time around. Besides the human lives, how many billions do you imagine were lost forever in that endeavor… searching for WMD’s? How in the name of whatever can he be blamed for that? Does anyone not think this had a huge impact on the present economic clusterf*ck?
It really dont matter if the candidate has a (D) or (R) next to their name…
Fuck BUSH! and OBAMA! Yeah, thatz right. I said it…
-And I most likely wont have nothing good to say about the next Puppet/President that gets in office…

I say that we should regulate the PISS out of Corps, tax the hell out of the rich and keep Medicare funded 100% across the board.
I’m almost starting to think that they are trying to ruin the economy, then blame liberalism, just so they can get a tighter grip on the country the next election. http://www.care2.com/news/member/101693842/2701705
Yet they accuse US of being socialist/communist, comparing us to Hitler. Looks more like they are…http://www.alternet.org/story/149574/conservatives_ruined_the_economy_and_now_theyre_blaming_liberalism?page=entire
They didn’t call it Voodoo Economics or Trickle Down way back then, but the policies the Republicans are proposing, are the same ones that led to the Great Depression. That’s why I’ve been making Blogs of Woody Guthrie’s music. He tells the whole story.
Supply Side economics allows the rich Corporations to hoard their profits, essentially removing it from circulation, and when money doesn’t flow, everything falls apart. What we need instead is Demand Side economics, much like FDR used to get us out of the Great Depression. The WPA put millions of people to work, building up the infrastructure, and so we got sidewalks on streets, paved roads and bridges. But more important than that, we got money flowing again, so people could afford to buy things, and stores had customers, and the ball began rolling
Interesting that all the innovations and inventions are about taking the work out of living. Most jobs become redundant with automation . . top it by always having been taught to get the best bang for your buck. . so you working so the Big boys can fight war and never mind the lives they maim and cripple including their own ‘ the dead are lucky.
You’ll put your morals in your back pocket for as long as there is a buck to make . . interesting every body wanting jobs, when they’re so bus working you selfs out of them. . just playing Monopoly in the board rooms of the nations lie they learn around the kitchen table . . .
to me the BIG shift happen in the 70’s. that when the company interests shifted ffrom looking after the workers to making sure the share holders got their money making money for them. .
all I know is that we can live a 100 times as well for a tenth of the work thats being done. . Politics is just more of more of. . . .Heard some of the debate. . all I heard was grinding voicess that heard my head
