“Oh, those lovable scamps! Aren’t they cute? They ‘love’ America and Americans, too, but have a different approach to improving the country, that’s all.” Bullshit. They do not ‘love’ America and Americans.

Their only aim is to get into office by any means and lie necessary in order to propose and pass this same kind of Supply-Side/Trickle-Down nonsense that, as Pope Francis pointed out, has only shown to drive down the standard of living of the vast majority of people, never to improve it.

In America, it has also only shown to lead directly to the next Great Republican Depression, Great Republican Recession, massive property value declines, market crashes, and horrific U.S. jobs losses. The half dozen biggest and worst of them in the past 100 years or so.

That anyone can be so ignorant of the historical data and overwhelming evidence of major economic downturn (under the stewardship of Republicans) vs notable economic recovery and expansion (under the stewardship of Democrats) to even remotely suggest there is “no difference” between the two major parties is beyond comprehension..

Make the Republicans get up and explain why the right-wing Cato Institute, not some lefty think tank, estimates that federal subsidies to corporations costs taxpayers almost $100 billion every year, but we can’t afford to extend benefits to the long-term unemployed.
