Same old Same old

Yes, last week was the Democratic National Convention, and it was nothing but the same old rhetoric that we have heard for years.

1. Raise taxes to spur the economy (this we know is false, take more money from people and they spend less, government cannot handle money, that's why there is a deficit).

2 Democrats had a surplus - okay, they have re-written history and are saying there was a surplus during the Clinton years. I guess Monica Lewinsky was just a mirage in the desert too.

3. Privatize social security - a great idea that democrats hate. The reason they hate it? It's not the ability of citizen's taking 10% of their money and investing in safe accounts (bond or money market funds, similar to 401K's), it's the fact that the Republicans wanted to put a stop to congress raiding social security when there's a surplus. In other words, Democrats would not be able to take the money and use it to support another FAILED DEMOCRATIC SOCIAL POLICY.

4. Everything under the sun that is bad is the fault of President Bush. Had a tornado last spring? It's his fault. Drought? President Bush's fault again.

5. They hate law abiding, Christian conservatives. America is a mean country, we should be punished. Yes, Sean Hannity was right, the theme of the DNC was "America is a mean country."

6. They love terrorists and hate American citizens.

7. They lie, like rugs and then some.

8. They keep telling us about the failed Bush policies, but cannot tell us which ones.

9. Of course our President is not a dictator, most of the current senators and congresspeople voted to go to war based on the same information that the President had.

10. Democrats are war mongers, see #9.

Mark my words, if Obama gets in this is what you will hear "We underestimated the damage that the Bush administration did to our economy and have to change our stance on re-energizing it. Therefore, our original estimates of raising taxes on those making $250, 000 or more are wrong. In order to get our economy back to where it was under the Clinton administration we will have to raise taxes on those making $35, 000 a year and more. It is our patriotic duty to help get our economy back on top." Remember, there are no blue states, there are no red states, there's just the United Taxed States of America.
