THE REPUBLICANS BIGGEST BIG LIE...!

Perhaps the Republicans' BIGGEST BIG LIE is that one that says:

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NO IDEAS, NOTHING TO SAY...AND NO AGENDA FOR AMERICA!

Republicans then buttress this lie by insisting that Howard Dean is some kind of a clown who no one could believe.

Now I know many Democrats who are outraged at the role the media and conservatives have assigned to Howard Dean... These Democrats point out that; AMAZINGLY, if you actually listen to what Dean is saying--IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR...

Consider:

1. Health Care is a national disgrace that is bankrupting the nation. Why? Because the Kongress is too Korrupt to confront the health care lobby and Big Pharma and create a single payer National Health Care Plan--like almost every other industrialized nation has, and has had, for literally decades!

2. American jobs can not be held hostage to the greed of INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL, which constantly seeks ever cheaper labor... A nation that does not protect it's consumers and it's markets WILL LOSE THEM... AND AMERICAN IS LOSING IT'S MARKETS AND IT'S MIDDLE CLASS CONSUMERS!

3. Tax Cuts for the rich are always "productive" because the rich "invest" the money in means of production which in turn "trickles down" as job creation... Well, maybe it used to...but not now.

If you bankrupt the central government...? Services and yes, redistribution of wealth from top to bottom, can not take place. This type of tax policy carried out for too long merely gives you a medieval economy with a fabulously wealthy elite and a bunch of poor peasants on down.

4. REDISTRIBUTION IS NOT A BAD WORD. REDISTRIBUTION FROM THE ULTRA-RICH TO THE ULTRA-POOR AND THE WORKING CLASSES IS HOW CONSUMER CAPITALISM MADE THE RICH WEALTHY IN THE FIRST PLACE... This little truism seems to have been lost in the Bushian nonsense..."it's your money."

5. UNIONIZED LABOR AND SOCIAL SECURITY, ALA THE 1930's, IS WHAT GAVE US THE GREAT POST-WAR MIDDLE CLASS AND THE BABY BOOM OF THE 1950s and 1960s...

(Remember back then women could AFFORD to stay home and have kids...unlike today where children are an unwelcome burden on the struggling middle class life-style.)

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A LOT TO SAY TO THE MIDDLE CLASS IN AMERICAN ABOUT THE ECONOMIC DISASTERS THAT HAVE BEFALLEN US UNDER THE REPUBLICAN SUPPLY-SIDE FREE TRADE NONSENSE!

ALL THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TO OFFER IS MORE GAY BASHING, THINLY VAILED RACISM AND PSEUDO-RELIGIOUS HIJINKS...THAT MASKS AN ECONOMIC AGENDA DESIGNED TO ALLOW INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL TO CONTINUE LOOTING THE AMERICAN ECONOMY AND DESTROYING THE MIDDLE CLASS AS WE HAVE KNOW IT SINCE 1945!

NO WONDER THE BIGGEST REPUBLICAN BIG LIE IS THE ONE THAT SAYS:

DEMOCRATS HAVE NOTHING TO SAY!
