• Provide Universal Access to Health Care and Secure Entitlements "by using Common Sense Reforms"
Instead of accelerating
(our drive to accomplish) the demise of our nation's large entitlement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and creating new unsustainable entitlements, Republicans seek to provide (witch doctors for you whinny bastards per, Phil Graham, which we will bring in from under developed nations on our nifty H-1B visa program) universal access to affordable health care (with savings accounts tied to the stock Markets that we deregulated so they could run amok and crash like your 401 Ks did) and to address our entitlements' trillion dollar unfunded liabilities with common-sense (who knew all it took was common sense) reforms that ensure our children and grandchildren can secure future benefits. (from the same witch doctors for your whinny bastard kids)

(Page 2 begins)

CREATES JOBS AND LOWERS TAXES
• Lowers Taxes
Instead of raising taxes on all Americans
(the rich are already stressed out) in the midst of a recession, Republicans seek to reduce the tax burden on working families and small businesses, in order to create jobs and unlock private capital. (There's a twist that will make your head spin or is it a spin that will make your head twist? Is this a variation on the trickle down where the rich get all the tax breaks and the "average American" gets screwed or are they stealing Obama's 95 percent of American's get a break idea? I am so confused! Just kidding, I know their blowing smoke up my ass, how about you?)

• Keeps Energy and Fuel Costs Low (Remember that 4.00 a gallon gas, while we gave the oil companies tax subsidies and they rake in billions in profits? You ain't seen nothing yet) Instead of taxing all energy users (like the oil companies who get billions in subsidies) with a new national energy tax that will cost up to $3,128 per household, Republicans want energy independence (sorry, I think Obama already said that first guys) with increased development of all (drill ANWAR baby drill!) our natural resources, including renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. (Before you know it they'll be hugging trees)

CONTROLS THE DEBT
• Ends the Bailouts
(which we started) and Reforms (reregulates) the Financial System
Instead of nationalizing our financial system
(which will traumatize the very rich) and heaping trillions of dollars of debt on future generations, (which we have been doing since Ronald Reagan with tax cuts for the rich. By the way how do we pay this debt if nobody is going to pay taxes? Oh that's right we pass it on to the whinny middle class) Republicans want to protect taxpayers (remember the rich are people too!) and provide a transparent recovery process (by NOT stamping everything Top Secret and destroying any incriminating evidence like we have been forced to do in the past, by those nosey Democrats) that does not favor those that have made unsound business decisions. (like the first trillion dollar Bush/Paulson bailout without strings attached) We will ensure that this financial crisis can never occur again. (and will re-regulate the Financial industry that we have been deregulating for the past 24 years, which started under the capable leadership of our hero Ronald Reagan and the incomparable economic Republican guru Phil Graham)

• Keeps the Cost of Living Low
Instead of returning to double digit levels of inflation
(we'll return to Allan Greenspan blowing smoke up your ass and go back to the quadruple inflation levels) and the failed economic policies of the 1970s, (NOTE: Republican Jedi mind trick; This economy isn't so bad—Damn that Jimmy Carter!) Republicans support maintaining the cost of living (by exporting your job and importing billions of cheap imported products, which you can buy at WAL-MART, made by 37 cent an hour workers who now have your job in China.) after witnessing the booms and busts triggered by (our Republican) loose monetary policy. (and by our relentless Republican deregulation of the entire Financial Sector?)

(end page two)

Sorry, I can't do the remaining 16 pages of this absolute dribble—including a back cover—So, I'll stop here because, I believe in the American and International ideal of no torture and the Constitutional precept of no cruel or unusual punishment unlike, the Dick, Cheney.

Now let's REFOCUS on the FACTS.

FACT: The Republicans spent in excess of three trillion dollars "off the books" on their trumped up War in Iraq, that enriched their friends and impoverished the American people.

FACT: The Republicans controlled the House, Senate and White House for the better part of the last 24 years and during that time spent more money than all the previous administrations in American history combined, including their favorite Democratic whipping boy, FDR.

FACT: The Republicans deregulated the American Financial Sector to the point of a meltdown and greed ran rampant.

FACT: The Republicans never once cared about sustainable energy, your job, or the middle class.

FACT: The Republicans gave tax breaks to American Corporations that were outsourcing American jobs while American's wages stagnated.

FACT: The Republicans enslaved the "average American" by cutting taxes on the rich and running red ink into the foreseeable future while telling us, "the fundamentals of our economy were sound".

I am a child of the WWII era. I have always considered myself a patriot, even when I have passionately disagreed with the policies of the government. My view is that disagreeing with the current caretakers, during any administration, is not only our (more...)
