How long until the depression hits?
Today, Americans just approved CAFTA, FTAA, outsourcing, and the end of unions and the middle class.

Bill Clinton jumped in bed with these repuke whores, and now we're paying the price. And Bill Richardson, you were right there with him cheerleading back in 93. Thanks for nothing!

18. And pay off your mortgage if you can
Because by the time BushCo is through you'd better hope you can still afford that roof over your head.

14. "Clinton opened the door to the prom"
NO, it was democrats for being lazy, sitting back with their feet up enjoying the peace and prosperity while the fantical right wing worked hard to take over all the media - the most powerful tools for perception management. Each and every year they become stronger and they ar more daring in the lies and the stealing and cheating, because they become more powerful and have much more perception manangement skills and tool then democrats do. Furthermore, the democrats continue to keep the same leadership, they think the spinless leaders are the best way to go, when someone such as Howard Deans speaks out and the right wing media goes after him, the democrats scramble to please the media. We need a polticial revolution here, but if time is running out.

15. replace that dep[ression with anger and determination
refuse to give in, refuse to go quietly in the night, stand up, make your democratic leaders shit or get off the pot, the democrats outnumber republicans, we had more people on the ground, the exit polls were correct, stop making excuses and fight back.

6. This ain't Clinton and Richardson's fault
These business compacts were forged over a two-decade period, and are now far different than the situation Bill Clinton fought for.

He deserves his licks for throwing in with them, but there's only so much blame he should be given. This is a legal structure composed of literally tens of thousands of laws and agreements. Looking at it as a monolith just doesn't make sense.

It's a big, complex, ugly monster. Bill Clinton gave it a face lift.

8. Have to enforce laws
Bush doesn't. This whole economy is a giant Enron scam. We're going to creep into 3rd world status and by the time these idiots figure out they can't eat their faith, it'll be too late. Investor class and those who serve them, I've seen that coming for many years and it's only going to get worse. And NO job is immune.

17. I can't tell you
how many Bush voters said Kerry was no different than Bush on free trade and outsourcing. Kerry never really reached out to them, so they voted based on fear of terrosism and their stupid morals crap.

Bush was ripe for the plucking, and we fucking blew it.

13. well to paraphrase a cliche ...
depression is just around the corner

as is invasion of Iran and Syria, couple-two-three more terrorist attacks, North Korea lobbing a few nukes, the draft, and a host of "rosey" scenarios
