Let's Plaster this all over Conservative boards:

"The worst government the US has ever had"

One of the most respected economists around, the Nobel Prize winner for economics, Professor Akerlof, doesn't mince words when speaking of the current Bush administration:

"I think this is the worst government the US has ever had in its more than 200 years of history. It has engaged in extraordinarily irresponsible policies not only in foreign and economic but also in social and environmental policy. This is not normal government policy..."


"A more likely effect of the deficits is this: If there's another recession, we won't be able to engage in stimulatory fiscal spending to maintain full employment. Until now, there's been a great deal of trust in the American government. Markets knew that, if there is a current deficit, it will be repaid. The government has wasted that resource. "

"Future generations and even people in ten years are going to face massive public deficits and huge government debt. Then we have a choice. We can be like a very poor country with problems of threatening bankruptcy. Or we're going to have to cut back seriously on Medicare and Social Security. So the money that is going overwhelmingly to the wealthy is going to be paid by cutting services for the elderly. And people depend on those."

======================
If we keep bombarding Conservatives with such messages, one of them may be the straw that breaks their back, or the tiny hole in the dike that is the beginning of the end.

1. Bah, they won't care.

"Or we're going to have to cut back seriously on Medicare and Social Security."

That's exactly what they WANT to do. Eliminate social spending, go back to the free for all days where if you are lucky enough to be able to save for your retirement, great. If not, here's your tin cup, grandpa, and there's a street corner.

4. It won't change their opinion, but they will care.

It drives them nuts when someone criticizes their king.

2. And there will be heads exploding across the country.

3. well, i think that has all been pointed out here before...

and i agree w/ it 100%.

a major part of the rethug party (those forming party policy) believes that ANY social program or regulation is a form of "communism"...medicare, medicaid, social security, public education, CHIPS, childhood vaccinations, EPA, OSHA, labor laws, etc etc etc.

Despite what any (R) candidate says, they will never be (and never intend to be, and in fact fully intend to be the opposite of) the "Education President" or the "People's Candidate". Their only intent is to bankrupt the government to force the eradication of these "communist" ideas from government.

We are not fighting an incompetent administration, we are fighting a vile, malicious, evil set of ideals that elevate law and order over justice, strength over compassion, and selfishness over charity. They do this by preaching fear over strength, religious fervor over spirituality, and a disgusting reliance on moral absolutes with no shades of gray.

However, I do not visit the conservative message boards. Those that do, I hope that posting such messages help.
