Republicans are fiscally smarter.
But Democrats aren't corporate cock suckers.

There is a difference between staring a war and racking up a deficit, and handing out a trillion dollars of FREE MONEY to any blue chip company who was "affected caused" the economic downturn.

The US handed out money to those kind of companies? Here money was given only to a few banks that are pretty vital for our economy.

Everyone from investment firms, to banks, to car companies.

Basically most blue chip stocks and politicians were given bail out money.

I'm trying to thing of a good analogy...wait...

Which animal is better for the forest? the beaver or the goldfish?

They both have a very destructive attitude, and they both destroy the ecosystem (i.e. our economy/livelihood) in different ways. The only way shit will work is if we go either straight socialist or straight libertarian. I read this shit on AnT and had to agree.

It would be a system with free trade but light income tax and land leasing by the state for revenue to fund free healthcare and welfare. Welfare is only for those who are unable to work, not those who are unwilling to work.

I really think that Obama is doing the best he possibly can with the shitstorm that was tossed in his lap. The Bush Administration is mostly responsible for the downfall of this country, starting a huge war on fixed evidence (Still don't get why we are in Iraq, other than Bush Sr. failed there and Jr. tried to one-up him.), needlessly spilling the blood of thousands of our troops and innocent civilians, straining international relations, refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, rejected an anti-ballistic missile treaty with Russia, held over 500 people of 35 different nationalities at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, without access to any court, legal counsel or family visits, a violation of the Geneva convention, redistributed wealth from the middle class upward to the very wealthiest families in America with two tax cuts which gave the biggest benefits to the top one per cent (those who earn more than $337,000 annually- certainly nobody posting on this site...) And lets not forget the Patriot Act, where the federal government was given enormous powers to invade privacy and intrude on basic freedoms which had been guaranteed to Americans for over two centuries. Halliburton, was handed a $7 billion contract, non-competitively, to repair Iraq's oil infrastructure. (The former CEO of Halliburton is none other than former vice-president, Dick Cheney.)

And that's the SHORT list.

Republicans. Libertarian republicans are some of the worst.

Yes, they will have lots more money if they get their way. Corporations will be able to cut costs by using less Eco friendly means and by such things as child labor (unrestricted child labor) and reduced safety and benefits for workers.

They're all libertarian until you mean abortion. Then it's NoNoNo you have no right to your own body!

Hypocrit greedy fucks. Stop being so blind.

I never said either was fiscally responsible. I'm asking who you think is the most fiscally responsible.

It's like asking who you thought was better in humanitarian terms: Hitler or Stalin. One of them is of course better, even if they both sucked when it came to it.

Pay attention
