6. DCJ needs more air time- smack down on the relieikans.

The party of the wealthy pretends its for "small business"
the party of the wealthy passes tax cuts using borrowed money and reconciliation and obscure rules to bypass budget consideration- all this (along with unpaid for wars and drug benefits, off shore tax havens etc.. balloons the deficits and as if this was all some illusion criticize OBAMA is causing the deficits with stimulus and health care and things that are designed to help the economy and regular folks. McCrappell and the Repukes game is all plain and clear to anyone who wipes the shit off the mirror, but the Madison avenue slick branding repukes try to spin bullshit into sweet American pie. DCJ just threw their own turd pie in their face. RIGHT ON!

7. Republicans

Want to "redistribute wealth upward". That is one profoundly true statement.

Excellent post, Kick & Rec!!
