...too easy

From "The Awful Truth about Republicans"

Even mainstream economist Jeffrey Frankel has recently noted (in the Milken Institute Review) that the "Republicans have become the party of fiscal irresponsibility, trade restriction, big government, and failing-grade microeconomics."

However, there has not been a sudden sea change in party platforms and the rampant fiscal irresponsibility of the Republicans is not a mystery; they are merely returning to their historical roots. The Republican Party was established as a party of big government and economic intervention. Their reputation as a party of limited government is of more recent vintage and stands on a flimsy foundation.


It doesn't get any better than this, folks.

to multinational looters who could really give a flying f*ck about America. They only want us for out military - what happens to our jobs and our way-of-life is of no concern. Once they moved their factories off shore, concern about the US economy went the way of the dodo.

4. But but but Prosperity is just around the corner so vote Republican
I used to think there were some smart Republicans but I am beginning to see that was a mirage as well. Anyone who loves their country could not possibly vote Republican. Republicans have caused more destruction than any other political force of the modern era.
