Check out the following 30-second video that elegantly captures where eight years of Republican leadership has left America economically.

Let's not forget after this election to keep Congress accountable!!! Case in point: It's time Congressmen and women START PAYING INTO THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM!!!! They don't pay ANYTHING INTO IT BUT DERIVE ALL THE BENEFITS FROM IT!!! Also, they retire on their FULL SALARIES. As taxpayers who have bailed out the government we have to start demanding an accounting from them too and do not let it continue ESPECIALLY during these hard economic times. Biden, if you want us to be patriot, then you and ALL THE CONGRESS PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE INTO SOCIAL SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know that John McCain's senior economic advisor, Kevin A. Hassett, an economist with the American Enterprise Institute, co-authored a 1999 book called "Dow 36,000: The New Strategy for Profiting From the Coming Rise in the Stock Market." Most know that months later, the Dow began a 3400 point plunge that finally ended in July of 2002. Wonder what other brilliant ideas this guy can come up with?
Told you so!
Take time to thank a Christian Fundamentalist for this mess.
The REPUBS are a bunch of idiots...and the DEMS have found the way into the White House via the ignorance of the REPUBS. The BUSH years have almost knocked the breath out of us...and the Obama years will finish us off.
America is about to get what it has been asking for. Don't cry when Obama is in office and pure s4it has hit the fan. God will not save you then. I have given up...and not even going to vote. Within 6 months we are going to be begging and praying for anything but Obama. The American voter is being led right into the depths of hell with their eyes closed and their hands held out wanting something free. You are going to get it...hold on to your hats!!
can you go pee your pants somewhere else?
First of all not everyone believes in god so I'd broaden your views a lil more b4 u speak, secondly I don't believe Obama is going to be this great "messiah" or anything but he is clearly one of the best people for the job. You can believe what you want about him because everyone is entitled to their opinion, however I'm agnostic and do not see him taking us into the "depths" of hell (ie there is no hell) but I see him restoring faith in government, re-establishing our well standing globally, doing a better job on the economy and think he encompasses ALL viewpoints in his decisions whereas John Mccain is like Bush, hot headed but with an even quicker-trigger-finger
Good day
I like that it brings out the healthcare rejection due to pre-existing condition though I am VERY disappointed that more hasn't been done to bring out that specific and critical flaw in McCain's proposed plan.
If McCain is elected, and you OR YOUR CHILDREN have a pre-existing condition(s), and have a job at a small local manufacturing plant: pray.
Whoa. This video really drives the message home. Who made it? Is it on TV?
Great Ad! Love it. So True
Repubs legacy...in a nutshell!
Be Objective! Blame is an Excuse, now no excuses, OK. All things have a lead time. Bush isn't taking all the blame and neither is Clinton. You will want to blame Senator Obama and I firmly believe Senator Biden's statement on an Obama win in 2008.
Constructed poorly and confusing is your comment and do not i understand it.
I agree, Jinxed I don't understand your comment. either.
You must be from Alaska or related to Sarah or Todd, right?
does fear dictate all your writings or is it just a political thing?
Can you imagine what shape the senior citizens would be if their social securtiy was invested in the stock market...
We should never forget Enron and their personal laughing and using the four letter words while attacking the seniors and poor as their screw them with the corrupted energy prices...
Well now the financial institution have done the same thing and are being given the same welfare and no criminal charges...
Do you ever wonder if Former Enron Corp. vice chairman J. Clifford Baxter really died or what he given a new face,,,, So when they dropped the judgement against his wealth ,, Baxter could enjoy the rest of his life....
Are you talking about Ken Lay?
I think he means Lay as he had the heart attack.
How's about, the cold hard facts of life, and in the toilet, that's where we are!
Thanks to George McGOP!
While very dramatic, this video is a little too 'Freddie Kruger' for my taste. I much prefer the real folks in the fantastic set of "Local Voices" videos. Check them out if you haven't yet. Powerful, direct on issues and VERY relateable!
They also could use our support to get these on the air.

These "Local Voices" videos are amazing!
American was doing fine until the Democrats got in two years ago. Our 401Ks were fabulous. Wall Street hit 1600 (highest ever). After the Democrats got in, 401ks are bleeding, the market fell apart, housing is in trouble and people are losing their homes. I can't wait until the Democrats control the House and Senate in the next few years. You will really see America fall apart. Just wait and see.
With all due respect, what planet are you living on?
The economy started to go south in 2000. Rightwing ideology has been, in theory and now in practice, a disaster.
We can't wait either. Welcome aboard!
HAHAHA!! You can't serious for gawdsakes...stop listening to the McCainPalinRushO'LiellyHannity lying express. Read something legitimate.
"American was doing fine until the Democrats got in two years ago."
Exactly which policies did the Democrats inact or resist that caused the downturn? Lol--thought so. They didn't have the numbers or confidence to reverse anything. They were Bush-Lite.
Reign, reign go away. Begone Republican reign.
George Bush and Karl Rove, this is your legacy. Democratic majorities in Executive and Legislative branches. Can't wait!
