Thom Hartmann suggested we start referring to The Great Depression

[gateley]

as The Republican Great Depression -- every time we reference it. Make 'The Republican' become a part of the phrase.

11. Thanks so much for that, Cassandra!

[EFerrari]

21. Rerunning right now.

Damn, I love Thom Hartmann.

[Cassandra]

22. I loved Lamb's last question about AAR...

which allowed Thom to state very clearly the business model used by the RW.

[BeatleBoot]

2. K&R that

:kick:

3. if only the Democrats were smart enough to use talking points like that...

[Cleita]

5. And his reason for suggesting this is that the Republicans do it to us, calling everything that

goes wrong in a Democratic administration as the "Democrat _________". It's time to associate them with their failures too. I agree. Also there is a lot to blame them for besides the Republican Great Depression. There is the Republican destruction of the Middle Class, the Republican overthrow of the Constitution, the Geneva Conventions and on and on. It's a very long list.

[gateley]

13. A very long list indeed. nt

[Taitertots]

6. The Bush Depression

[Elwood P Dowd]

9. You need to lump all the repukes together and call it

The 2007 Republican Financial Disaster or The 2007 Republican Recession. Put the blame on all of those bastards.

[gateley]

14. Adding the year to it is brilliant! nt

15. I believe the Republican Great Depression pre-dated Clinton

by about SIXTY YEARS, or is my math wrong due to my delusional partisanship and misplaced loyalty?

Eagerly awating your response to enlighten us all.

[Caretha]

16. Our delusional partianship

and misplaced loyalty is actually called WE ARE DEMOCRATS posting on a liberal - progressive forum.

And who are you?

[SeekerBlue]

17. Keep your blinkers on

Don't come crying to me when you realize the DNC has been selling your ass down the river.

I'm a US citizen who reads history and votes and enjoys public discussion, is who I am. Who are YOU?

[Caretha]

18. Coming on to a

liberal/progressive democratic board and calling people names, posting insulting and belittling posts is not the way to "enjoy public discussion" here.

Thanks for your opinion anyway.

[EFerrari]

10. Thom is a brilliant person.

[mzmolly]
