12. That's what I see. Because middle-class and poor folks voted
for these jerks. And they'll do it again. And again and again. There's always some issue that will distract them into doing so.

18. After the speech I just heard that would include voting for Obama
He is cutting everything under the sun but will not raise taxes. His only investment in the people is investing in charter school gimmicks for the reach to have a new market.
I just threw up a little listening to his speech (given while applauding Jeb Bush)

21. Well, that eliminates the Republicans and the Democrats.
Who are you going to vote for?





"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans."
---Paul Wellstone



"By their works you will know them."

17. your are absolutely 100% correct. That was when the Democratic
Party was the party of the "little guy". This changed
when the party decided to compete for top constituents.

16. hey, it's just common sense. Those are the job creators!
Edited on Fri Mar-04-11 04:06 PM by librechik
Every year they create thousands of jobs for the po folks in Mexico, China and indonesia.

Everybody's rich here in the US, the wealthy should be rewarded for their hard work by being allowed to hoard as much of their cash as possible, and the other rich in the US (those making less that $50,000) don't need any help, obviously. People in Bolivia make a dollar a day, see how lucky you ducky's are to make $100.00/day--stop bitching! You live in the greatest country in the world! (don't worry about inflation--there isn't any!)

:sarcasm:

wish I didn't have to use that, but times are hard...
