And The Republican Threat Now Is If Obama Wins
That alot of companies who support McCain will lay people off from their jobs. Well, you know what?! I say, if they do that - and I don't buy their tax whining complaints - I say, then, we should NOT patronize their damn businesses then!!! Laying people off and such just shows their selfishness with their wealth, and if they want to be like that, then, let them all work for themselves, and let their businesses FOLD!!! I'm sick of them accusing Obama of being a Socialist/Communist just because he is trying to help the struggling Americans get back on their feet!!! And, I'm sick of hearing the rich bitch about having to pay a bit more tax-wise. Without the middle class supporting their businesses, don't they realize that they soon will be feeling the effects of a bad economy, too?!

1. it's a lie
Jobs have disappeared despite (and because of) this trickle down BS. They are lying what creates jobs, and has for the last century, is when the consumers can actually afford to buy things, which makes the demand go up, and more jobs are created.

2. Sounds like extortion to me
The GOP is spinning its wheels in sand and digging themselves deeper and deeper. Nobody but the base believes them anymore.

5. And I Don't Even Think They Have Much Of That
left either. They need to feel the financial pain as much as the rest of us are.

3. That is a transparent lie ...
if they lay off people it's because the republicans threw our economy into the toilet. They know it's coming and want someone else to blame it on.

4. That's absurd.
People don't hire people just to have them on the payroll. OK except repub "think"tanks.

Employees create wealth.

6. This Is What I Have Been Hearing
Both from out West and on MSNBC today - that Hillary who was on Chris Matthews today - that if Obama wins, alot of companies will just lay people off because if their taxes go up, they will not be able to afford to keep all their employees. So, if they do that, I will NOT support the businesses that do such a thing.

8. Oops sorry!
not attacking the messenger!

Taxes have already gone up. They've been going up to compensate states and localities from less Federal help.

That's the beauty of the campaign against Gov. Gregoire of Washington State. The repubs blame her for the results of repub policies.

7. The GOP threat has already been initialized:
poisoning the political landscape for the next 4 to 8 years. Right out of their playbook from the Clinton Administration, but with a bit more hate and racism.
