Mavericks My Ass: Why McCain Is Not Your Man, And Palin Is Not Your Woman!
By Pete on Oct 9, 2008 in Credit & Debt
The big Iraq Mistake (“Uh, we thought they had WMDs.” Yea right!) has turned this nation’s pockets inside out! As the fifth anniversary of this huge lie has passed, know that it has taken over a $3 trillion dollar toll on our unstable economy.
This idiot, who burns everything he touches, and his cronies tried to sell us on a cheap war (since when is any war cheap?). Then they cut taxes on the rich even though they ran through the Clinton Era surplus. Guess what happened after this? They further funded it through borrowing from other countries (who don’t have our best interests at heart; believe that). The results of this on our economy: another $1 trillion added to the huge national debt.
Now, think about what else this money could’ve helped, if we weren’t fed that red-meat republican bu#$%@it. We could have helped our desperately poor citizens; we could have helped other allied countries who now hate us because of this big lie (freedom fries ring a bell?). Literacy rates are another thing we could have strived to increase — imagine what kind of boost that would have been to our economy. “Sorry, we can’t afford to fix that right now,” the politicians now have to confess!
“War is good for the economy,” experts say! Guess what? Experts don’t know crap. “It worked for the Great Depression,” they’ll cite. “Our president could have stopped robbing from the poor to feed his rich friends, and went down another path (improving citizens’ well-being and laying the foundation for future growth) to stimulate this economy,” is what they won’t cite. Real long-term growth needs investments in research, education and infrastructure, not a leader who plunders from the same people who elected him.
This is what the next president will have to face: a deep economic crisis that was caused by reckless war financing (to help Bush’s buddies). How did we not see this coming, you ask? Well, our economy’s weaknesses were concealed by the Federal Reserve, and caused by regulators that looked away as loans were handed out well beyond borrowers’ means. Meanwhile, banks and credit-rating agencies pretended that they could convert bad mortgages into AAA assets, while the Fed turned its back as our household-savings rate plummeted beyond zero. Thank you Bernake, you jerk!
It’s a very scary picture, and we’ll be lucky if all we get is a deep recession. Who’s to thank for all of this? The Bush Administration, and anyone who sided with them 90%+ of the time, over the last eight years, that’s who! Now that an election is upon us, these same lying idiots (including McCain and Palin) want to sweep this mess under the rug and talk about irrelevant issues like Obama’s religion (fact: he’s a Christian, and even if he was a Muslim does that mean he wants to terrorize you? Absolutely not! Don’t let these lies steer this nation back in the wrong direction, the Bush direction).
My friend, as you enter the voting booths in November, do what you think is right! Know that the Iraq war caused this economic crisis, and also know that we went over there based on lies. Fact check this until you’re blue in the face, and you will never find an opposing argument to it (that isn’t based on even more lies). Know that the United States will be paying the price of Iraq for decades. Know that the price tag will be even greater since we tried to ignore the laws of economics. And the most important thing to remember: McCain WILL NOT get us out of this mess; in fact he will get us even further in debt. Don’t listen to their lies; get the facts. Obama’s your man; squash the petty stuff and realize this!
Oh yea: I’m a middle-class, white guy — from PA, who now lives in FL!
