1. Repub candidate Rick Perry says actions speak louder than words. 2. He also says that political manipulation of the economy is treason. If #2 is true, I know a few Repubs who are on their way to the gallows. Like all the people in Congress who pushed us to the brink of default for political purposes. That imho is the best example of treason, and no I'm not a liberal thank you and I'm not a Democrat either. I just have a mind, and eyes, and love my country, and despise people who play dangerous games for utterly selfish reasons. And if the Repubs are serious about #1, then they shouldn't block a stimulus program, a big one, one that's designed to create lots of jobs. The world wants to invest in the US with no interest. We're too damn stupid, net-net, to take the money. The President can say to the people "I want to throw y'all a lifeline, but these assholes keep trying to stop me." It wouldn't exactly be true, because the President has been acting more like a Republican than a good FDR-style Democrat, which is what we desperately need right now. But better late than never. And our economy really can't wait until 2013 for a stimulus. And if god forbid a Repub gets elected, we'd have to wait until 2017 for a stimulus. Why do I think that might be too late? And the President probably shouldn't use the word assholes to describe Republicans, but I bet most Americans would agree with the characterization. Anyway come on Repubs, let the President try to give the economy a big push, and avoid trial for treason. Now, not later. Then if it doesn't work (as you are sure it won't) you can throw a big party at the Repub Nat Conv. |
