"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Tens of millions of Americans do however. You have ANY sympathy for them?



Yes. EXACTLY as much sympathy as you have for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.

You'll say "well, if they hadn't supported tyrants, they wouldn't be in that position now." And I can say the exact same thing. Those people knew they were playing Russian Roulette - what they didn't realize was that they were using a .45 auto to play it with. Their bad, not mine. They trusted Bush and the market forces; I didn't.

I am not immune to feeling discouraged as well.

I'm only laughing on the outside,
My smile is just skin deep.
If you could see inside I'm really crying,
You might join me for a weep.

"Thanks." -Hero, 2009

That's one more chance than I'm giving him.

Now they're just hoping a recovery doesn't happen too soon so peeps will feel the pain & associate it not with the Republicans, but with Democrats, even both are responsible for this mess.

Good theory?




That theory works, save for one minor detail. McCain, not Palin, was the flaw which doomed the GOP and paved the way for O's historic victory. A better choice would have been Romney. But the powers that be chose the old soldier instead, knowing the outcome would be like it was in '92. When they saw they still had a chance, they chose Palin, and were it not for the crash and McCain's idiotic vote for the first TARP bail out bill... things might be different. But notice how the $$ from the massive stimulus bill doesn't really kick in until Summer of 2010, right before what ?

Midterm elections.

Designed only to stimulate the Dems come election time, and not save the country until then. Bravo.



It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people ARE.


Well Rap, you're covering things pretty well here. Although I disagree about McCain being the GOP's attempt to repeat 1992. McCain was the GOP trying to repeat 1996.
Wondering about someting else. Obama knows he cannot correct the economy while dragging it through the liberal dirt of socialist programs, so he's scheduling it for 'correction' in 2010, and then when (like in 1994) the GOP takes over the House and the economy recovers (like after the 1994 elections) he'll be able to take credit for the recovery (like Clinton in time for 1996). Is this how you seen it? Since McCain was already the GOP's Dole candidate, and the GOP should be able to put up a winnable candidate, do you see the Obama defeat in 2012 as long as the GOP wins in 2010?
Do you think the economy will need to wait until the GOP wins in 2010, or might it recover before then? Or should we just start learning Chinese now?
