- You don’t believe that the Bush administration deliberately lied and then thoroughly screwed the pooch in Iraq from the start.
- You don’t believe that there’s been an 8 year run up of graft and corruption as the administration guts the federal bureaucracy and turns public works into private profit for its donors.
- You’re a Halliburton stock owner.
- You don’t feel the election should be a referendum on the worst presidency in our nation’s history.
- You like the rightwing social engineering and loss of privacy rights over the past 8 years.
- You don’t mind that science takes a back seat to politics in Republican policymaking.
- You don’t mind the Supreme Court being stacked with social conservatives.
- You don’t mind that our allies think we’ve become a nation of isolationist, jingoistic, trigger happy, bible thumping, hypocritical Joe Sixpacks.
- You don’t feel the current economic downturn is a direct result of failed national and international economic policies and misplaced tax incentives.
- You don’t feel oil company profits are obscene and based on an international cabal that pollutes the planet and stymies home-grown innovation and alternative sources of energy.
- You think offshore drilling won’t ever threaten the delicate ecosystem of our coastline and will bring back the era of $1/gallon gasoline.
- You think “the war on terror” as defined by Bush is more important than redirecting those trillions into our crumbling infrastructure.
- You're gullible enough to consider Mrs. Palin as a worthy member of the sisterhood of traveling pantsuits.
- You don’t believe social conservatives consistently preach moral, ethical and social standards they or their families don’t live up to.
- You think the gogo Governor of the reindeer state would make a better second in command or commander in chief than the scrapper from Scranton. So much for experience being the deciding factor.
- You think John McCain (who is older than the gipper was) will stay awake, alive and healthy as a horse for the next 4 years.
- Unlike the US Constitution, you feel military service and/or being a POW is a prerequisite and defacto ticket to the White House.
- You make less than $5,000,000 and own less than 7 houses.
- But most of all, even if you’re in the 95th income Percentile, (>$180,000).
The numbers don’t lie.
It is OUR economy and it can't take another 8 years of "stupid." Just think of your wallet too. It will love you more if you vote Dem in Novem. So, ignore my rant with impunity, but ignore this NY Times business post at your own peril, then go vote against the trickle down economic theories that have been about as effective as Soviet communism. America will thank you.
