"The two most important issues with the American people are immigration and foreign policy"

pdq, is that your opinion?

Cause I'd say that the economy is #1 & McCash hasn't got a clue what to do about that except to offer the rich more tax breaks & that's been oh, so sucessful as we've recently seen. Thanks Bush for the F#&king 600 bucks, it didn't even put a dent in my rising heating bills from the winter!
On the other hand Obama has got a real good grasp with tax breaks to those that work for it & actually taxing the top 5% who've never paid their fair share in their lives & keeping those same folks the from getting the tax breaks to out source our jobs & again he's up to growing green industries as a new job & revenue source. Let the republicans sit & think about this for a few yrs while it passes US by.

As for immigration, IMHO that's a republican smokescreen, why start now, when they've benifited from immigrants for so long & so much in the past, & reaped handsomely too I might add.

Foreign policy! You've got to be kidding. The present & past policy & it's one McSpends endorses, is War & at the cost of, is it a billion a month it's been a twofold disaster, that's killing the economy & killing ours & their kids. Great job, well done so far. We now borrow from China to pay for a was in the Mid East, that's taking the food off our tables at home, raising the price of everything we ship, truck, train, transport or touch or eat. Meanwhile, the Oil industry is breaking all records in the profit sector, the drug companies are making killer profits that's gonna be the death of US all, education is off the price charts & the health care system is asking US all to bend over so than can do a rectal exam to see what's wrong with our minds for letting the republicans do what they've been doing to US for so long. Forget about SS, you won't be able to retire at this rate, you'll work for your medical conditions & drugs & even if you're as healthy as a hose by whatever the retirement age is by then you'll not be able to survive on your SS check so you'll probably be working till you drop dead & if it happens on the job hopefully OSHA is still in effect & your workers comp is up to date so your kids don't get buried paying the cost to give you closure & hope that you die before an Old Age retirement settlement selltes out of court & lands up with owning your kid's home too as well as their 1st borns.

Immigration and foreign policy! That's not even the tip of the ice berg never mind the top of it! We're so fucked on so many fronts that it's mind boggling to even think of the repair work & the associated costs that's gonna be given to the next suceeding generations. Here comes My children & grandchildren are screwed becasue of the present & recent past republican administrations unless Obama gets in & works some magic, casue it sure ain't gonna happen with more from the same party of assholes.

Here comes the "New Deal" again, the WPA for the 21st century.

Now here we all get in line,
And it's Buddy, can you share a dime
We've had our coffee here before
But the lunch pail's pale this time

No more New Deals for me
Just a job & a future please
Health & Welfare & a sick day
And a bit of coverage for the family

In the 90's I worked overtime
Personnal days plenty vaction time
A living wage & yearly increase
Oh those times they were so sweet

Today's not worth the living
When my back gave all it's giving
And the drugs I need won't feed me
I'd be better off in prison

But I'll pack my pail once more
And I'll head out of the door
And I'll sweat my days away
On this goddam killing floor

And when I'm at my end days
My kids will proudly say
That he tried to feed & cloth' us
But he only worked his life away


Remember the "lunch pail"? It was a symbol of those times.
