Still suffering from a acute case of incredulity that a war criminal in the shape of George Bush could be in office for nearly eight years, I have spent many a sleepless night in fear of the latest Republican sham/scam in the form of McCain-Palin.
Now, it seems, that the wheels of this deceptive and destructive party on the course of American history might finally be losing it's wheels. The latest economic crisis, and this one makes the dot com bust look like kids stuff is leaving the Republican's no place to hide. Particular thanks needs to go to Phil Graham who led the charge in deregulating the banks so they could run themselves into the ground in an orgy of greed and hubris.
Ms. Palin has gone from public distraction number one to just another member of the destructive party that wants four more years of ruin and waste. Thank goodness. I don't think the spin-meisters can lie their way out of this one. The neo-conservative star has gone supernova, and is beginning to collapse on it's own mass... soon to become a black hole.
Such is my hope. We, the people of the United States, might finally begin to clean out this scourge of nastiness that has brought our country to it's knees. Not since the end of Bush I has our country been so depleted.... maybe even more so this time. I suggest burning the bedding when the white house is returned to some semblance of governance by the people for the people.
Yeah, John, I agree, the greed of Wall Street has brought us into this mess... but you want to know something else you stupid fool? Your very own economic adviser Phil Graham and your Lie, Cheat and Steal party were responsible for the very deregulation of banks that brought us to this current economic disaster.
You can run, but you cannot hide. You can spin, but you will not slide. It's over pal. You and your greedy, mean spirited party have brought us once again to the precipice of ruin. Not since George I has the economy been so completely devastated. Only this time, it might be worse, since your boss and brethren in embrace was such a terrible, terrible president.
Thank you Mr. Graham, for insuring that John McCain and his circle jerk express will be flushed down the toilet along with the rest of the vermin who have poisoned the political landscape and created deficits and financial instability that might take half a generation to solve.
I hope the Obama campaign does not miss the opportunity to pound the aforementioned slime laden party for attempting to have people who had their houses foreclosed on thrown off the voter rolls. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.....(though from watching your last 'ad' it is clear you have none).
Thank you Mr. Koppelman, you nailed it on the head... the interview was painful. But for me, and I hope much, rather most of America, it was most painful because the media has already debunked much of their lie, cheat and steal rhetoric. But still, painful it was. I watched the whole thing, and I cannot believe... biased as I am and all.... that the middle America American would not find her strikingly empty.
However, not as versed in the code words as those who practice them are, I fear there is enough coded rhetorical hits to the reflective points of the conservative body politic to create the knee jerk that was intended.
We have been under siege for the past eight years. It is time that we all get involved, and fight back. Knee jerk to the conservatives or not, no matter. The vast majority of this country are truly well meaning and reasonable thinking people. I think. So, I hope this wakes up more of America to vote against the Lie, Cheat and Steal party to salvage what is left of what they have made America.
In addition to the nearly ten trillion dollar Republican made deficit doubled under George W. Bush... we have absorbed Fanny Mae, and Freddie Mac ... not to mention the bailout of AIG....we are on the hook for so much debt created by the big lie of the Republican party which is less government means more prosperity... Well yes... if you are making a lot of money, and don't have to pay taxes to support health, education and infrastructure... you end up with a really nice house and cars, in a country of uneducated people driving on shit roads who are not healthy. Hang on... that sounds distinctly third world.
Well there you have it folks.... Gov. Palin, John McCain, are dedicated to continuing the Bush and Republican legacy to turn us into a third world country.
Dear Mr. Boehner,
As it is clear, you don't know what is going on in the economy, let me clue you in: It is tanking. It is tanking because you and your party for years have promoted the big lie (one of many) that deregulating the banks and financial institutions will lead to prosperity. Uh... well.. as usual, you were wrong. It led to greed and avarice that has brought us to our knees economically.
The president will, as he always does, do everything he can to raise the amount of debt owed by the federal government. He will take the prudent steps to save the economy, and then he will push to buy all the bad debt that is frankly the problem of rich people and not ours. (of course, that is why he will propose such a program... as it helps his friends).
I am hoping the American people are waking up to the ways of your Lie, Cheat and Steal party... so keep up the lip flapping... as you may soon be unemployed.
Anyone who would listen and believe a fat, whore mongering, hateful heroin addict is probably not going to read articles debunking his mendacious swill.
