The republicans are coming out swinging, hurling accusations and out and out lies.

The only way to fight back is to stand up and fight, point by point... destroying their platform with truth.
For someone claiming to be world citizen, you sure are duped. Do you actually believe the dems don't do the exact same thing you accuse the repubs of?

One thing that MM seems not to understand is that when government hires they are not really creating any capital. They are paying for those jobs with our taxes - sort of robbing Peter to pay Paul. It is only private industry that can create actual wealth in our economy but the Dems would have us punish the very employers who can actually make real jobs with punative taxation and regulation. To say nothing of the fact that when pushed sufficiently, too many employers will just pack up their companies and take their jobs offshore. Only by encouraging businesses to grow and expand their employee base can there ever be any real jobs created. Additionally, are the whiny libs/Dems ever going to get tired of protesting that, "Its not our fault, George made us do it."

I saw the original of Michael Moore's brillant document and I can confirm there were pasta drippings all over it and cake crumbs smooshed into it as well.

Why not just have an agreement with the Republicans? If the Democrats stop telling lies about Republicans, the Republicans will stop telling the truth about Democrats?

Or maybe Moore can just eat them all.

It's time for nation to stand together for jobs, education

By Jesse Jackson / Chicago Sun-Times
"In Washington this Saturday, I will join tens of thousands of Americans to march for jobs, justice and education. The march is called together under the banner of One Nation: Working Together, a large coalition of more than 400 organizations.
Why do we march? We march for hope. We've seen the politics of fear..."

Um, I think he's aware of how it works You seem to forget that if people are working they have disposable capital with which to... you know. As you also know the govt is the employer as well as the lender of last resort. While we wait for private companies to adjust the choice to squeeze three workers' worth of productivity from current employees instead of hiring afresh, how do you propose households collect enough capital to send something out into the economy?
