Experience spelled 'McCain' equals depression

I wonder how many Americans realize that if George Bush had gotten his way with privatizing social security the Bush Administration would already have gambled away a large vestige of its citizens’ economic survival. The stock market would have gobbled it up in the last few weeks.

Unlike the unregulated profiteers being bailed out, the private citizen would be left to the mercy of whatever soup kitchen would keep him plodding along until he dropped dead from lack of everyday necessities.

Those existing today on the bare survival level, counting on the savings their government held in trust for them, would be left with nothing. Zilch!

The Bush Administration has stolen everything from our jobs to our environment to our world prestige to our constitutional guarantees; yet the old Republican lies keep a-comin’: “Our economy is in good shape,” Herbert Hoover/McCain tells us in one breath. In the next, he’s going to get those big, bad wolves responsible for leading America on its downward slide into depression.

Are we supposed to forget McCain’s old rallying cry, “I’m a deregulator—deny the obvious fact that “Experience,” spelled “McCain” equals the 1930’s Depression all over again?

The administration he’s been a part of for 26 years has already repeated the Vietnam fiasco. If we keep going backwards long enough, are we supposed to return to the second coming?

You are a breath of fresh air

You are a breath of fresh air and right on the money with your opinions. Thank you for expressing them so eloquently. Living in a family of die hard Republicans and not being one has been difficult at best but it's nice to be vindicated by people like you and the majority of the country since they voted the Republicans out everywhere they could. I have asked my relatives how do they justify the state the country is in and the deficit we have and they blame it on the Democratic congress, nothing Bush said or did. It amazes me that these people I grew up with can be so blind but then they think the same of me. You keep telling it like it is. The truth should be heard!

McCain v Obama

Gerry,
You are part of the problem. You allow your own selfish interests, hate of Bush, and ignorance of the liberally controlled house and senate cloud your judgement. The U.S.A. will become the U.S.S.A., the United Socialist States of America. Capitalism, self-reliance, limited government, personal responsibility, liberty - all the key traditions that built modern America - will be swept away in this liberal movement. Remember your position in 4 years, I will.
