The Economy

America has become one big cynical carnival of games but at least the GOP has even been considerate enough to throw in a number of clowns at no extra cost.

In an unprecedented move, the Mainstream Media have announced that in order to keep the Presidential race the kind of competitive contest that Americans deserve, President Obama will now be blamed for the gaffes of anyone who ever supported or voted for him.

And this sense of responsibility -- to each other and our country -- this isn’t a partisan feeling. This isn’t a Democratic or Republican idea. It’s patriotism. And if we keep that in mind, and uphold our obligations to one another and to this larger enterprise that is America, then I have no doubt that we will continue our long and prosperous journey as the greatest nation on Eart

ALEC dresses up their agenda to lull the public while in the background they work to ensure legislation is geared toward the benefit of Corporations alone and while we may realize some crumbs they deign to throw at us, make no mistake they are in it to win it for themselves and their corporate masters alone.

Referencing the suffrage movement in the 1920's and civil rights supporters in the 1960's, top Republican leaders are nearing a vote in the House of Representatives to pass a law that would give corporations the right of other citizens, to vote in elections.

That bastion of consistency and unswerving principle, Arianna ("I'm a Right Wing Republican-I'm a Progressive Democrat-I'm Neither!") Huffington, proclaims that since the GOP has been falling down in it's role of attacking Obama's character and campaign, she and HP are taking up that noble cause.

If you think the thinking and policies of the GOP are worse today than ever, imagine what bills Republicans in Congress might come up with in five or ten years.

If the GOP wants to cry about gas prices being high because of President Obama, they need to declare that they want the US government to nationalize the oil industry.

As frustrating as it is to those of reason, that there must be some way to convince those in the Religious Right of reality and out of believing Republican falsehoods, you can lead a sheep to water but you can't make him brush aside the wool that's been pulled over his eyes so he can see the water and drink.

Corporations may have designed this mousetrap of buying cheap products bringing down wages but as long as consumers keep going for the cheese the corporations set out, they will continue to be the victim of this trap.
