Love how Bush … Love how Bush waterboards people and uses war as an excuse to hand out billion dollar contracts to his ociates while innocent low-income Americans die.
This is a great … This is a great speech. It’s very similar to John Edward’s “Two Americas.” America’s sucess is not measured by GDP. It’s emasured by how the least of us is succeeding. It’s measured by if a middle class family can send their kid to college without worrying about a mountain of debt. That is the measure of America. We should be like Israel when the Queen of Sheba came to visit and said “Happy are your people”
And for those of you who say there is no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans, I can only say you are one of two things: either a child, who hasn’t experienced life … or a greedy freak. There is no other choice.
(And forget the “third way.” That is just for imbeciles who need to study the history of America more.)
I’m glad he never … I’m glad he never became president. He’s as phony any one of these political criminals. Mario Cuomo is as phony as a three dollar bill. If we could have all just agreed to not get into the business of “liking politicians,” then we would be much better off today. Two criminal parties, their members trained in the same institutes and think tanks, all funded by the same international banking cartels; and we insist on treating them like normal people. They’re lower than the lowest slime on earth.
You can kind of see … You can kind of see. We were warned. But we didn’t listen including me. I bought “the shining city on a hill” crap so I’m to blame too.
Why is it that … Why is it that deficit spending is considered ‘liberalism in action’ while up to and including the Carter presidency the national debt in % of the GDP has lowered from 90% (Truman) to +/- 30% (Carter).
And not be partisan: Nixon & Ford lowered % from 40% to 35%.
With the exception of the Clinton presidency, we have only seen (republican) deficit spending during the 80’s and 90’s.
That’s a very … That’s a very liberal way of looking at things. Where conservatives ask “What will you do to help economic growth?”, you guys ask “How will you run the economy?” See, that’s not how it works. The deficits are because of spending, which is either a betrayal of conservatism or liberalism in action. The outsourcing, contrary to how command economies work, is a result of anti-business policies largely implemented by Democratic governors (Michigan…?). Corporate welfare is bs.
One of the best rhetorical performances ever given, at a time when people didn’t want to hear it.

Maybe you should …
Maybe you should actually listen to the speech, even if it doesn’t have any glib, meaningless putdowns like “iPod gravitas” in it.
July 28th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Fantastic speech. …
Fantastic speech. You can see where the roots of Obama’s keynote speech were. Especially at the end.

And handouts and bailouts? Why, their biggest supporters are none other than Pelosi, Frank, and Reid. Oops on your part.
You’re attacking straw men. You can’t tax your way to prosperity, and you can’t pass a law to ban the market.
