You fucking idiot!

School is about to start if it hasn't already. Folks need money for school clothes and supplies.

Sorry, freeptard lurkers. This time, your president has fucked things up so bad Americans are actually going to overlook the quadrennial polarization circus you guys put on.

He says we don't have Americans who will work for $50 an hour. That's just wrong.

under Bush compared to Clinton's 8 years?

That was as of April and we've been bleeding jobs since then.

then the problem will magically fix itself. That's what Sarah Palin told me, and she should know, having been mayor of a town of 6,000 people.

:sarcasm:

We need to continue to make this one of our key issues.

We need to stay focused on the real issues. Republicans like to distract us and the media away from the things that are important to the majority of Americans, like the economy.

I think democrats need to re-educate Americans on the real basic differences between them and republicans. Republicans value power and greed and like to reward the wealthiest among us. Democrats value ingenuity and hard work and like to reward the smartest and the hardest workers. Democrats think its ok to help other people, republicans think its ok to help themselves.

The GOP really is the party of "Greed Over People".

Thanks,

P.S. Wouldn't burger flippers with "McCain Economic Plan" labels be a great rally prop?
