to wit:
Q2 economic growth slowed to a trickle--just 1.5%--which is far too slow a rate to offset chronic long-term unemployment, or to provide an engine to pay off the crushing tax rate and debt burden now strangling that very same economy, and its scheduled to become precipitously worse at the end of this year. (story here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-economic-growth-slowed-1-123346624.html)
we can only hope the president's most recent comments lauding small private enterprise and expressing a commitment to support it are the real truth behind his ironicaly equivocating public pronouncements. (we will let the english handle retorts to mr mittington romney for his ongoing public speaking nonsense).
my concern is that those behind the twin-headed, economy-obliterating hydra of republicrat and demican hegemony over our congress and chief executive's chair are learning nothing whatsoever while they play the "it's either us or them" game in complete refutation and denial of third, fourth and fifth parties' insistence that a return to private personal and economic liberty, sensibly regulated, (recalling sandy weill's recantation of his and his industry's glass-steagal blundering), and vastly reduced government bloat, (it's that bloat which is the anchor which drags down the economy--care to guess how many percent of would-be growth is hoovered up by our leviathan government boondoggle and disappears before it could ever be taxed?), is the right answer.
answer for yourself, why don't you: do you feel the patriot act and other executive orders are anathema to our founding principles? do you feel that our government spending and staggering deficits and resulting national debt comprise the number 1 threat to our sovereignty and strength? are you disgusted with how thoroughly mismanaged the entire process has been by the revolving door of republicrats and demicans in our seats of power?
sapere aude. choose better.
not for nothing, but think about something simple, like the supermarket soda aisle. anyone remember RC cola? anyone think it was any shortcoming to the flavor of RC cola that has resulted in coke and pepsi virtually taking over the entire soda aisle? or, perhaps, could it have been this nonsense notion that we needed to take sides in the war between the big 2 that caused it? and, then, think about bottled water. why do we have it? is it possibly because soda is bad nutrition AND bad public health policy? and why do you think coke and pepsi now have HUGE bottled water brands and operations.
if you favor bottled water, do you care if it's delivered by coke or pepsi? could it be that simply dropping out of the soda war and drinking bottled water has resulted in coke and pepsi using their giant bottling and distribution might in bringing more bottled water to everyone?
your vote for a candidate NOT named barry or mittington IS productive. especially if it doesn't win in november. votes not for D's and R's are of staggering power, and their message is heard even if the candidates can't win.
if you want D's and R's to do better, drink water. do the right thing.

Agree that repeal of Glass-Steagal was a mistake. Even the followers of Lyndon LaRouche have that figured out. I agree it should be reinstated.
Not so sure about the third party vote. What did Mr Ross Perot accomplish?

as i mentioned, cliff, we're drinking more bottled water than ever these days, and that didn't happen because coke and pepsi thought we needed alternatives to sugared syrup. and, not for nothing, but i like to think perot's supporters accomplished whatever you're complaining wasn't enough, and they're a touchstone in the discussion of the possibilities of third ways. i'm not concerned if either the donkey or the elephant get the brass ring again, so much as i'm concerned if we don't throw the shot across their bow, they will never change. and i, for one, have had enough of my civil liberties assaulted, and economy destroyed, to last me a lifetime.
