The Republicans should not only loose in November, they should be soundly beaten as that is really the only way for the American people to tell both parties that they won’t put up with anymore of this crap. Politics in America has literally sunk to the lowest level ever seen and runs rampant with dishonesty, arrogance, self-indulgence and consistent very bold efforts to deceive and manipulate the voters. The Republican Party has aggressively developed these negative characteristics into their standard operating procedure and has clearly demonstrated they have no conscience or real concern for their responsibilities to the American people, rather only a total focus on disguised self-interest. For them it is all about money and ego and more money. As Bush-Cheney have continually demonstrated and as McCain-Palin are poised to follow suit, they concentrate on only providing benefit to Special Interests and a select few who return support (overtly and covertly), contributions and promised after office kickbacks and they give the average American only apathy, the costs and a substantial amount of subterfuge. Obama’s and Biden’s clearly stated and consistently demonstrated honesty, integrity, quality and sincere concern for all of the people, even if it was all they offered which of course it isn’t, should by itself be enough to have them elected. The Democrats are not pure and innocent but the Republicans are totally out of control and completely belligerent about it. The people should literally close their eyes and ears to the extensive subterfuge they are constantly being bombarded with to avoid once again being manipulated. As proven in the past, whatever the GOP offers is simply not to be trusted, shouldn’t even be accepted without complete cynicism as the Republicans really only offer more of the same. Should they win, they would be emboldened and then the last eight years would be only a sample of what was to come.
Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
