7. Now you're talkin'!
I like that.

For years now, many of us have suggested not only using their words against them but their actual recordings. The Dems are doing this now, and that empty factory commercial is a real corker. This would be a fabulous way to take it.

The Republicans have no compunction about using the most shrill and emotional examples, and they deserve every minute of it. Corporations that habitually poison and kill need to be accountable for their actions; from a dispassionate standpoint alone, it causes too much strain on the system to take care of catastrophic illnesses, families thrown into destitution and the other attendant repercussions. One's actions cost, and Capitalism is based on profit, so sustaining unsound businesses (or ones that leech off of the the public services, like Wal-Mart) is a sin against the concept of the market itself.

If they REALLY believe in Capitalism, incompetent and destructive corporations deserve to fail; they're not viable models.

They'll make America one big Love Canal, and IF it's cleaned up, it'll be at our expense.
