Saw a chart on ED tonight

that showed corporate wealth skyrocketing in the last two years and middle class personal worth/earnings bottoming out over the same time period. He was trying to illustrate how wrong the republicans are about their proposed plan to get us back on track. The only problem is, who the hell has been in charge these last two years? It's almost as if the republicans ARE running things. Does anybody else see it this way?

1. Your Right...

"It's almost as if the republicans ARE running things. Does anybody else see it this way?"


Certainly Obama hasn't exactly shown a bulldog side with his corporate cronies to protect the middle class.

2. I mean, every time I hear how wonderful GM and Goldman Sachs are

doing, I wanna stick a knife in my heart! WTF!

3. Until the republicans took the house, the ones in the Senate

blocked most of the bills the Democratic House sent to the Senate, effectively setting the agenda.

[PhillySane]

4. Screw that,

the Democrats STILL have the edge. I don't want to hear that argument anymore!

[FarLeftFist]

5. But that argument is the truth.

So is a record setting amount of filibusters by the GOP.

[PhillySane]

6. So if Obama should get re-elected

and the pukes get both the house and the senate, what the fuck good is that! Tell me!

7. Presidential Veto?

Sounds good to me.

[PhillySane]

8. Yea,

like he vetoed tax cuts, patriot act and so many other wonderful things.

[FarLeftFist]

9. Its not good at all

Then we're all fucked and America collapses into oblivion. I'll be long gone by then. Maybe I'll make my way over Tahiti and become a snorkel instructor.

[PhillySane]

10. me too

can't take this crap anymore

[FarLeftFist]

11. Yeah, its not even like these are the same horrible republicans from the 90's

These are a whole new breed of deranged neocons. This fucking place will look like a warzone with mass poverty and death on every street corner from lack of Govt assistance and rockbottom workers wages. Entire landscapes will be pillaged until they look like the lunar surface, pollution everywhere. Schools will look like 3rd world countries.

[PhillySane]

12. Will?

You should see my neighborhood!
