Awesome president is awesome. (via)
President Obama is now virtually tied with “a generic Republican” in polls for 2012.
It’s important to hypothesize who, exactly, respondents think they’re favoring when they indicate they’d like to see an unnamed Republican defeat the incumbent Obama in 2012. Here are some guesses:
- Noah Daniels, the war-mongering, fictional president from the television series 24.
- A clone of Ayn Rand who is male and not Russian.
- A bucket that contains a gun, a bible, a flag, and an ancient spell that makes the steady hand of the free markets tuck them into bed at night.
- The loudest yeller at their Thanksgiving.
- A president whose administration will increase defense spending at every available opportunity, not close the country’s most infamous torture mill, start new wars, sign Republican healthcare policy into law, find new ways to pollute more, and kill bad people by breaking the law. In other words, Barack Obama.
I reject the argument that says for the economy to grow we have to roll back [regulations]. We shouldn’t be in a race to the bottom, where we try to offer the cheapest labor and the worst pollution standards.
Profits have gone up. Jobs have gone … down.
Contrary to what conservatives keep screaming (as if screaming it loudly enough and often enough will make it true), as businesses make more profits, THEY ARE NOT HIRING MORE WORKERS.
Lowering taxes on big business does not encourage business to use their profits to hire more people and lower employment. It just increases personal profit.
You say you’re the party of tax cuts? Then prove you’ll fight just as hard for tax cuts for middle-class families as you will for oil companies.
Come tomorrow morning, Republicans are gonna be pissed!
