Putting Steve Forbes on mute is awesome.
CNBC at work has flat tax dumbass Steve Forbes touting the greatness of "Mr Corrupt" himself 9u11iani; who I guess he plans to endorse, or already has, not that I pay attention to what that old asshole has to say. Among the talking points:

* 9u11iani considers himself a "Free Trader"
* Agrees with 9u11iani that cutting corporate taxes help the middle class (even though the jobless "recovery" of 2003-7 proves otherwise)
* 9u11iani would not reverse the direction of free trade agreements like NAFTA (because they've worked SO well for the middle classes of all nations involved :eyes: )
* Cut Welfare and Crime in half in NYC (a WHOPPER of a lie)
* Stands up to liberal Special Interest groups (?????? Do people still BELIEVE this?)

And so on and so on, whatever I . . . just had to mute him. Nothing but "Democrats" this and "Democrats" that . . . OH PLEASE shut the hell up.

Meanwhile, the rest of America (including you ridiculous 28%ers, as much as you're in denial) suffers while your crew continues to loot the treasury, kill soldiers in a useless oil grab and send jobs of all kind to the lowest paid recipient. One working/middle class gets lead-piped and stagnated, the other gets exploited.

And this dick and his crew pocket all the cash. Amazing.

1. Wow, and now they're doing the same thing with McCain.
Puke punding Douglas Holtz-Eakin is now fluffing the Maverick.

* Pro-Market Health Care reform
* Would take a stand against "protectionism" (You know, because you're either "pro-free trade" or "pro-protectionism", it's just that simple :eyes: )

Is there a business pundit that ISN'T a Repuke? Do working class and middle class people BUY this bullshit?

2. It matters not
None of the candidates the Republicans have put forth stand a chance among Republicans let alone the rest of America..If Mr. 9-11 gets the nod the Republican base will not show up. Even they are not totally brain dead, only partially.

3. In a way, the publicity is good, because America needs to "know it's enemy".
That is, it's REAL enemy.

The middle class needs to know that people like Steve Forbes, McCain and 9u11iani are NOT on their side and never have been. They're attempting to communicate a message that no one believes in or supports.
