Re: New Republican Ad - video
Are they really blaming Democrats for the errors of the Bush administration? The biggest threat I see is lack of regulation where it's needed. Republicans see that as socialism? And why continue advocating supply side economics when it's obviously ineffective. Lower taxes have hurt us rather than help us, then going to war on top of that is financial suicide.
Don't get me wrong, I hate government intervention as much as anyone, I despise and resent being ticketed for a granny law on seatbelts. But I also realize human greed will run rampant if left unchecked. Cutting corners in meat packing plants, health foods, the financial system, and offshore drilling are examples.

Re: New Republican Ad - video
LMAO. Where were these little videos when the country was going to hell under Bush??????
We gave you control of the house and senate... we... it's reasonable to assume that the person who paid to have this video made probably didn't vote for Obama.
Remember how bad it was under Bush? It got baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Really, really, really bad. Like we're buried alive bad. Like anything we do isn't going to be enough to save us cuz we're so screwed, bad. What if Bush was still president? Can you imagine? Remember how the vast majority of Americans voted for change. How we ran to the polls to get these guys out of power???? And now people want them back?!?!?!?!? Whoooooa. I think we need to sit back and just reflect on the stupidity of the Bush administration and its long term consequences. Just let it soak in....

Re: New Republican Ad - video
One side wants military spending and tax breaks for the rich... the other side wants to spend more on people that just happen to not be you. They both need to stop spending but they both spend YOUR MONEY. Reps spend it just like Dems - but they do it more unilaterally and it probably benefits you a lot less unless you're fortunate enough to get trickled on. There will be no tax breaks. There can't be. It's impossible. They both spend outrageous amounts. Who started TARP? REPUBLICANS. Who's getting the money back???? Who? Not the people in office right now, right? I bet they haven't got back a single penny of all the money Republicans threw at those RICH BANKS..... you can tell I'm being facetious.
Why do people have an aversion to helping the poor but not the rich when we spend soooooooooooo much more on the rich? It's almost like it's ok for rich people to take. These people are "can't fail" PEOPLE. It's ridiculous. Like capitalism doesn't apply to them. Like it only applies to the middle class now. Rich your set - poor you can relax....
If Republicans truly wanted capitalism they'd let these fuckheads fail. The truth is, they don't want it. They want a safety net for the rich. When you vote republican you are paying the same for less services. Remember how bad it was under Bush? Remember Bush. Remember Bush. Whenever someone tells you something you don't like politically - remember Bush.

I'll try this again.
I think we tend to endow our current president with much more power than he actually has. Our country has been on a drunken sailor spending spree for decades and it has very little to do with the current president. Our country is a big, lumbering ship and the current president may want to turn it around, but he has many obstacles even before he can get to the pilothouse. Special interests, and entrenched, corrupt politicians who are only seeking to be re-eelected. The system is broken. Our politicians encourage an us-vs-them attitude pitting conservatives against liberals. But we the people should turn this into an us-vs-them, meaning us--the voters--against the damned do-nothing politicians. This bickering about Republicans and Democrats does nothing because the problem is the whole system.
Case in point. check out this article about Alaska, which is number one in pork-belly spending.

Re: New Republican Ad - video
I should explain FakeGeo.
I have had problems with BookTalk for about six months with it logging me out. I log in and start typing a post and hit post and it will take me to the log-in screen. I lose the post. It can be very frustrating. I have always suspected that my account may have some weird glitch going on. so this morning, after losing a post, I created the FakeGeo account to test my theory. Alas, the glitch affects FakeGeo as well. You won't hear from Fake Geo again.
My telling Fake Geo to shut up was another glitch . . . in my brain. Just plain silliness and lack of coffee.
