"SNIP................................................................

Why is the economy slowing? The answer is simple: The GOP planned it this way. While claiming government spending is skyrocketing, they’ve been engineering huge cuts in state and local spending.

...............................

The GOP has been at 11 on the outrage meter since we dared to elect a Democratic President who wasn’t purebred WASP. In the middle of a economic catastrophe they at least didn’t prevent, they declared their only goal is make things worse.

And they will not slow down now. Keep this in mind, President Obama’s campaign outspent the McCain campaign more than two-to-one. This time, the GOP and their plutocrats are planning to spend $1.8 billion and that doesn’t even include the 24-hour a day attack ads known as Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and the Drudge Report.

YES. THE PRESIDENT WILL BE OUTSPENT MORE THAN TWO-TO-ONE.
