Republicans Are Disgusting

From the party that claims the Democrats "tax and spend" have done what I call "borrow and spend" since Reagan. On Face the Nation this morning, host Bob Schieffer was talking to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina about the election. Now, of course, Graham starts talking about how now is the time to cut investor's taxes, dividend, capital gains, etc, and how Obama wants to raise those taxes and how horrible that would be. To him I say, "STOP DEFICIT SPENDING!" If you want to spend, you have to tax. The future of our children shouldn't be compromised because the Republicans WILL NOT RAISE TAXES, EVER.
The Republicans want to wage wars on credit. The Republicans want to borrow and hope that the American people don't care. McCain wants individuals to be taxed on the health care premiums paid for by their employers. WTF? These people cannot be trusted. They have not collectively admitted that their policies over the past 8 years have miserably failed. What pisses me off the most about Graham's comments is that WALL STREET JUST GOT $700B in BAILOUT MONEY FROM THE TAXPAYER yet of course, investor related taxes can't rise AT ALL, even to help pay for the $700B bailout. Of course, the rich should have their liabilities paid for by everyone else. That is how the right presents their policies.

McCain has admitted that he doesn't understand the economy. Prior to the shit hitting the fan he was saying that the American economy was "fundamentally sound" and then banks and brokerages failed. He doesn't know what to do to fix our country. Yet my issue isn't with just McCain. My issue is with the right and their ridiculous positions on this crap. Instead of admitting that his party, the Republicans, wrecked our country with their borrowing and spending on a war that was based on lies, violated Americans' 4th Amendment rights with the NSA spying, deregulated our economy so industry was free to loot enterprises and pay themselves handsomely for their trouble while the middle class worked harder for the same money that bought less goods, all Lindsey Graham does is fear monger. That is his only card left to play, that what Obama MIGHT do regarding taxes MIGHT be bad for someone somewhere. Guess what, he is right. Obama might do something bad for someone somewhere. Yet, what Bush and the legislature has done has been bad for A LOT of someones and until Graham admits that, I don't want to hear his bullshit on taxes. Borrow and spend is NOT better than tax and spend. If you want to defend the "homeland" with your military adventures, tax. Don't mortgage the futures of unborn Americans with huge borrowing to finance bullshit activities without accountability.
I have one thing to say to you, Lindsey Graham: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR FAILED POLICIES BEFORE YOU SPECULATE ABOUT OBAMA'S POLICIES AND HOW THEY MIGHT BE BAD.

(The links for this week from Face The Nation aren't up yet, these are the links from last week.)
McCain is swimming an uphill battle and is getting desperate. Thankfully, American know they have worked harder for less purchasing power, and don't care what the Republicans say at this point. They know they care mainly about the rich. Obama wants to help all, as fairly as he can, not just helping the rich get richer.
