Are you one of the forgetful folks who has wiped clear the last decade from his memory? It was the Republicans that destroyed this economy, and now they're running on a platform of blaming the Democrats for not cleaning up their mess fast enough. People like to forget that we were losing almost a million jobs a month under Bush, and it's those same people who refuse to acknowledge that we've had seven months of private sector job growth.<br /><br />And brainwashing is the staple of the GOP. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can figure out that supply side economics is a bad joke, and that economies are built from the bottom up, not the top down. But yet, some people still believe this fantasy that has been a proven failure. You might call that brainwashing. Let's also not forget such gems as "9/11, 9/11, terrorist, Obama's a Muslim, Marxist Socialist, tax cuts for the rich, 9/11, 9/11".

America has turned (and will continue to turn) more conservative. Demoncrats have so thoroughly destroyed the economy that they will not have voters' trust again for many years to come.Christian Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842885802414436051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-49523714357408175302010-09-10T17:44:44.717-05:002010-09-10T17:44:44.717-05:00You raise a good point.

Republicans are already as fired-up as they can get, whereas Democrats have a lot of "room" to become more energized. More Ds than Rs will thus drift from the "unlikely" to "likely" voter camp in the final weeks of the campaign. However, unlike in VA, NJ and MA, tightening associated with bridging the partisan enthusiasm gap might be fully offset this time by the growing consensus that"recovery summer" has turned into "endless recession."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
