@TammyFayeSyndrome Hey DemTard.....Do you have any clue how many dollars these big businesses pay the american public in wages? Duhhhhhh! Lets tax them out of business so there will be tens of millions more people without jobs! God you liberals and your peasized brains. You think everything in this country can be free! Move to Canada already!

He looks like that alien guy from the Xfiles. Was that him? I hope so.

@BigJimDeeDaDee "Do you have any clue how many dollars these big businesses pay the american public in wages"

YEAH DIPSHIT, I can tell you exactly: THE MINIMUM THEY HAVE TO. So it's a goddamn good thing we have minimum wage laws protecting workers, and it's a goddamn good thing there are unions in a lot of cases to go up against the psychopathic "big business" robber barons. And since "big business" outsources every job they can we should TAX THE FUCK OUT OF THEM for being so un-American.

@BigJimLaDeeDa "Big Business" often acts like a giant bloodsucking parasite on people and NEEDS government regulation, did you drop out of school early and miss your 5th grade civics lessons about the Robber Barons? And what kind of retarded thinking imagines old people will lose their Medicare healthcare if ALL Americans gain healthcare? That's just plain stupid Teabagger talk. And you worrry "Businesses will move"? MORON, BIG BUSINESS PARASITES HAVE ALREADY OUTSOURCED EVERY JOB THEY CAN!

@traydevon It's "DemocraTIC Party" on it's official papers, therefore, it's not grammatically correct to say it any other way.

Frank Luntz decided years ago based on focus group studies that "DEMOCRATIC" makes people feel warm and fuzzy when they say it, so the Republicans were advised to start saying "DemoCRAT" only, to emphasize the "RAT" sound, which made people feel less positive.

It's subtle propaganda, so, no, it's not a "minuscule" error. It's strategy.

@Thanatos4655 Sorry, I don't know where you're getting your factoids. There was a war to be fought which indeed added deficit; Obama, in his first year and a half, spent 4 times as much as the war cost; in 2006, unemployment was 5.8%, then, under the democrat congress, in 2008, UE rose to 7.6%; under Obama, the Stimulus packages failed (w/ monies still unaccounted for), w/ EU hovering at 10%. UE is the biggest factor, w/ small biz production, in economic growth. Now, that's truly amazing!

@traydevon It's grammatically acceptable to say "the democrat party" or as you say, adjectively. You assume a lot, even if you were right, on such a miniscule error at that or on a typo. A better apropos typo would be "demonrat," however.

@TammyFayeSyndrome Thats funny Tammy Down Syndrome, you criticize big business and then praise the government that bails them out when they start to fail. You make a whole lot of sense. Majority of Old people are not living under bridges they are retired and trying not to lose their medicare to your socialists government healthcare program. You wanna talk people under bridges, thats gonna be everyone currently working in manufacturing if your government gets its way. Businesses will move.

[traydevon]

It's "DEMOCRATIC" Party, not "DemoCRAT" Party.

That's the Republican Party's problem. They can't read.

[Thanatos4655]

What I find most puzzling about all this is how and why Democrats are so incompetent and ineffective in communicating what is really going on. Republicans created virtually the whole national debt and ran the economy into the ground, and, two years later, they successfully blamed it on Democrats. Amazing.
