“She is telling the truth.

Ever since Reagon and Reagonomics with the "trickle down" theory that the rich would take care of us instead of the government was all nonsense and it was the beginning of a dangerous slippery slope that caused the beginning of the end of the middle class.

The rich kept the tax cuts and didn't "trickle down". They didn't have to. There were no laws or regulations enforced to stop them. They just took the money out of their companies or out of the banks in cash or in bonuses and found they could take even more if they "downsized".

Instead of "trickle down" they used that policy to "trickle up".

The rich cried about labor costs in this country and shipped jobs overseas to pocket excessive higher profits and donated huge amounts to keep Republicans in office.

The Bushes continued more of the same and the economy crashed since the little guy isn't making enough money to purchase anything that could benefit our tax base and benefit an increase in jobs and economic productivity.

We have had Republican economics for years and years and years, with the exception of Clinton's balanced budget and the surplus the Republicans have created essentially a bankrupt economy and all the money went out the door to their "tax cuts for the rich" friends.”

“Our destruction started with the "Democrats for Reagan" movement. These were once good and rational people that bought into greed is good, blame the poor for everything, give to the very wealthiest and it will trickle down to you and the big "Welfare Queen" lie but corporate welfare is the way to go.”

“Personally I would prefer if politicians (even those with M.D.s, Dr. Paul) stayed out of making medical decisions through political fiat.”

“Because Obama sees the People as just one political constituency, among military, banksters, etc. The People have very little power and the others are viewed as centers of much greater power. At this moment in history you can displease the People but you can't displease Wall Street, military-industrial complex, etc.

We badly need leadership which can rise above the regular diagrams of political forces and transcend them by concentrating on what is best for the survival of our Commonwealth which is under an existential threat, not from the enemies from abroad but by political sclerosis caused by corporate monopoly on political decision making. Our corporatocracy is our real enemy and we cannot continue cuddling it without placing our own Commonwealth and Republic in grave peril. I am sorry to say that I don't think Obama understands this; otherwise he would not have surrounded himself with Emanuel, Summers, Geithner,.­..”

“When Oprah found out another author's memoirs were false, she brought him back and attacked the lies to his face on her show. Why won't she do that with Palin?”

“pointing out a major problem with our system the rich and powerful are above the laws, we are forced to live with every day.......­......”

“We really need preference voting as they have in France. Rollover votes so we don't have to be afraid to vote for the candidate we really want...”

“I vote Kucinich in the democratic primaries. Would be great to be able to vote for him at the top of a ticket.”

“Same here, I will only pull out my credit card for a donation to progressive campaigns only. I will not donate to the democratic party anymore. As for Obama, don't know what to think about him anymore. Seems like a blue dog now that he has been elected.”

“Kucinich/ Sanders...­.2012...I'­m all for it..!”

“That is one way to give the White House back to the republicans.”

“This country is not overtaxed.”

“ever see the movie Idiocracy?”

“Something tells me you would have peed your pants if you were in her position.”

“they used to go to the trouble of setting up plausible deniability covers but now they dont bother

-----such is the contempt they have for the masses ,

they just figure tell em anything , they are too stupid to know the difference and to lame to ask any questions”

“You're a liar, too.”

“Usually, those who do this have personality problems, and they find some justification for having grudges and they just use that to convince themselves that they need to kill other people along with themselves. This man had no conscience, no decency, no sense of empathy, and he hid behind his religion. I cannot understand how he ever passed the testing and therapy that all psychiatrists and therapists have to have in order to be deemed fit for the profession. Someone really did a bad job of evaluating him, as he had to be disciplined during medical school and residency.”

“There is no answer to your question..­. Yet we fail to show our outrage when people do it every day on our hiways by DUI or the self=centered act of using a cellphone.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, that's why the GOP has dropped to 20% of voters....­did you get your penny for posting this bull?”

“whahhhhhh hes not good enough”

“Nonsense! I am also over 50 and continue to work with OFA to promote the CHANGE I fought for last year. Did you think when President Obama took office it would be like the second coming of the Messiah? Are you really that naive?

Here's a reality check: To quote President Clinton, "Politics ain't beanbag". This is a contact sport that requires great courage, strength and tenacity. If you didn't learn anything else during the campaign you should have learned that much. You should have also learned that President Obama's style of politics is an "iron fist inside a velvet glove". He will deliver on as many of his promises as possible. He's not running the country on your timetable. He's the President, you're not. The more people are willing to help him the better. He can't do this alone. He never said that. He has been asking for our help all along. What have you done to help lately? Whining and complaining don't count!

Are you going to help us? It's time to make a choice. I'm with the President of the United States and I intend to fight along side him for Real Change and a better America. What about you? Will you call your Congressman, write a letter to the editor, or do something constructive? We need everyone fighting for healthcare right now. Let's do it!”

“You go for it, Okie, those pennies add up, don't they? You can keep this up until your shift at Burger King starts and maybe make another $2 spreading right wing muck.”
