It wasn't the "liberals" who ran up the biggest debt this nation has ever seen and left us with exactly nothing to show for all that spending. No new schools, no infrastructure improvements, no updated energy grid. Nothing. Spending record amounts of money while buying nothing is what's put us all behind the 8 ball.

What does NAFTA have to do with China? I never liked NAFTA, but since China is not in North America, I don't see the correlation.
if we the people have learned anything do not do not take up arms ever against the monster.
he will disarm you and take your property & kill & rape you w/o mercy, song of the south. a better way must be found.
i know i ask the impossible but must tell you it is awakening that will make the change.
follow your old friend france---re how it is handling and leading its life. you once admired and felt kinship with it.
know who your friends are. trust me its not china and its not mexico and it is certainly is not DC.
The two states in the worst shape right now are two very liberal states where the liberals put in place every kind of spending program you could think up. States like Texas aren't in nearly the same kind of bind.
Are you familiar with unfunded mandates? Bush/Cheney loved those. They've hurt all of the states. Noticed your state/local taxes going up in recent years? Give thanks to Bush/Cheney. Passing responsibility for payment off to local/state governments made the federal bottom line look better, bad as it is anyway.

I think there is a more insidious message in this bb and others of its ilk.
There is a concerted effort amongst the disgruntled of the far right to de-legitimatize the current President and his administration, with the goal, IMO, of jiggling loose some right wing nut job(s) who will actually go completely off his rocker and attempt an assassination.
I agree and the fear is that the far right, the-sky-is-falling types are creating a whole bunch of Timothy McVeight's who will actually look at a billboard like that and think they have a mandate to kill the president and every liberal they can find. One of the major reasons our country is admired around the world is for our peaceful transfer of power every 4 or 8 years. The far right is going to take that away from us if they don't back off of their hate messages.
The jobs are still leaving the country by the hundreds of thousands. And nothing stops this president from doing something to get the jobs back now that his party controls everything, the White House, the Senate, and the Congress. There are no excuses like split government.
