Maybe it's better to have a crook in the office instead of a nice guy.

That is what a friend told me today, a guy who has always voted Dem before. When I laughed because I thought he was joking, he told me that he was serious. He was thinking that because robme knew so many dirty business tactics, he might be better at fixing the economy.


I'm still shaking my head at this convoluted logic, and hoping that there aren't other people out there who are thinking this way.

1. mayby a use a poacher to catch a poacher kind of thing

Look out tax cheats then.

2. Tell him to guy buy a used car from the dealer with the worst rep in town and...

tell him not get a carfax.

3. Oh, Romney'd "fix" the economy all right.

99% of us'd be screwed for generations to come.

4. it's already been done, there are countries like this, and what results

is those in power with wealth while the people having nothing.

5. he would stash our money away in his foreign accounts

6. The republicans in my office are absolutely sure

Rmoney is the one to fix the economy. They love the idea of defunding PBS and welfare and SS and Medicare and think that will magically fix everything. They think in their pinny little heads that they will be sucked up into the vortex of wealth streaming to the 1% even though they have never been even close to that and likely never will be.

This is literally what I have to deal with every day from a certain few repubs here. Thankfully, there are some sane people here too.

7. We did from 2001 to 2008. Look how well that went!

[spanone]

8. you should have rushed him to the emergency room....

[arcane1]

9. "dirty business tactics" = "scamming people out of their money"

If your friend wants to be scammed out of money in order to enrich others, that's his problem

10. Does He Say He Does His Best Thinking on The Bus?

Did he do a lot of acid back in the hippie days?

[The Second Stone]

11. Or maybe he will screw us like Nixon, Reagan and Bush did

and make billions. A scorpion is going to be a scorpion, so don't be surprised when you do it a favor and it stings you.

[tavernier]

12. I asked him if he had forgotten

how we got here in the first place... that the biggest crook of all put us in this spot. He agreed to all of that but said bush was an idiot; that mittwitt could use his evil to benefit us. I think he was trying to pull my chain a little bit, but I still think he was serious about the basic points.
