too late, they already are and have been for years now, that is why I REALLY wish I had not given myself this nickname for posting on here ...republicrats or whatever you want to call them sicken me anymore, that is why socialism is looking more my thing, hell the greens even represent me more than the shitheads we have now, OBAMA at the top of the list, I personally thought he was real change but he is a lying sack of crap and I wonder how long till he flip flops on more things to tow the line with his other republicrat buddies!
Look at all the horrible things Clinton went along with the GOP on. Got to give to get. But I agree, he gave too much.
Now we will see what happens with the economy and insurance. The healthcare battle, I can see him losing that one. I just heard on Thom Hartmann that the insurance companies are already renigging on their promise to lower costs over the next 10 years.
Same promise they gave Carter and Clinton. Both times they lied.
Consider we have a 2 party system, and everything you hate Obama and the Dems for doing, the GOP would do all those things and then some. So don't forget that. You voting Green means you helping Mitt Romney or Rudy become President. And they don't care about American jobs. They don't even pretend to.
But if Obama lets you and the unions down enough, no doubt about it the GOP will win next time. So that is our leverage. He better deliver. Not that I'll ever vote GOP, but there are a lot of other people less loyal than I am.
Just don't expect Obama to create a law that tariffs every company that operates overseas. But watch the trade imbalance improve under him. That's all you can ask.
And don't expect him to limit CEO pay and raise your wages. But watch his ways will improve the economy and create jobs, which is the only way to actually increase wages. Wages never go up in a recession. Which is why the GOP created/caused the recession.
They actually re-wrote the bankrupsy laws right before this crash. Coincidence? I think not. They made it easier for Chrysler and GM to go bankrupt and harder for you and me. Perfect, huh?
And the credit card companies are a scam too. The only ones who might fix them is the Dems.
And we saw how tough Bush appointees were on gas companies when they raised prices to $4.
And the GOP won't fix healthcare
I think I heard the other day that my politicians might be in on the scam. Stabinow and Levin. Two safe seats who can easily vote against healthcare reform. They'll get away with it in Michigan. That's too bad. I'm going to let them hear from me. Hope others call them too. That's the only way to get these people to vote right.
What state are you in? I have the luxury of being in a state that can go either way. I'd hate it if we were all blue or all red. But I do prefer that we are blue, because I know as bad as they are, they are way better than the GOP.
