(as if that had ANYTHING to do with the economy, security, or common sense!) The Clinton/Lewinsky issue was a persecution, NOT a prosecution, designed for republicans, by republicans to gain power. It was a national travesty.... a waste of time, tax dollars, and focus on real issues.... hmm, kinda like the McCain campaign! <br><br>When Bush was giving tax cuts to the the stinking rich, AND companies like Exxon, struggling Americans were losing their homes. (and you people on the right, PLEASE show me ONE thread of REAL evidence that giving tax breaks to the wealthiest 1% created jobs.... go ahead, find it! MUCH of that saved money went into investments that are now going belly up - as well as luxury yachts, massive estates, and lear jets. Hardly a good thing for the working middle class!) This idea that giving tax breaks to the wealthiest creates jobs is pure fantasy... and one of the last myths the right stands on.<br><br>The republican party USED to stand for smaller, simpler government and lower taxes. Today, it is simply the party of hypocrites. For the most part, they claim to be good Christians, but their actions - including I would say - their ardent support for the largest killers, and drug pushers, the tobacco companies, and their trickle down, voodoo economics, which are now taking their toll an MILLIONS of working class Americans, it would seem the Anti-Christ HAS arrived.<br><br>Maybe Palin CAN lead by example - she was once exorcised.... <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmp_S9YSKJ8" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmp_S9YSKJ8</a> Maybe after the resounding defeat this Fall, ALL republicans can follow her lead - it seems the entire party needs it!<br><br>The entire Republican Party DESERVES to be ousted... they have lost ALL credibility.... andMarcTue, 07 Oct 2008 08:51:03 -0000http://washingtonindependent.disqus.com/did_mccain_learn_from_the_s038l_crisis/#comment-2937092What I found most astonishing about last night's presidential debate was when asked who would you pick for Secretary of the Treasury... (excuse me while I use some idiotic right wing anecdotes) McWalkingCane responded... Warren Buffet! A staunch OBAMA support and MAJOR critic of the Bushwack tax cuts!!! <a href="http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0306-01.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0306-01...</a><br><br>Talk about AMAZINGLY inconsistent!!!!!!!<br><br>That answer forever ended any respect I had for McCain.... it makes no sense, it flies in the face of everything he has been saying about taxes!<br><br>This isn't a flip flop, it's dementia!MarcWed, 08 Oct 2008 11:01:25 -0000
