Just the facts...actually, wait, it's mostly just opinion, but its true

OK folks, I'd love to start swearing like a coked up, drunk, closeted gay Republican right now, but I won't do that because I'd lose half of my audience, which, given the frequency of my recent blogs, means...carry the one...hmmm, my guess, about three. Leaving...three. Right? Anyway, after all of that...stuff, I ought to just, AH FUCK IT I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE MOTHERFUCKING TRUTH! RIGHT NOW!
Look, the fact is, the lies are coming out left and right all of the sudden--surprise, surprise, it's election time and BAM: there they are just steaming like shit: lies. Anyway, I just want to get a few things straight:
1) The current budget deficit has been caused primarily by the Bush tax cuts (which did cut taxes for everyone), the medicare drug bill (that gave billions away to the drug companies--in government money, passed by Bush and the Republicans), and the two wars we are currently still involved in: Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, if Congress simply lets the Bush tax cuts expire (which may well happen since the Republicans filibuster everything that comes their way), its estimated that we'd have almost completely paid off the deficit by 2015. Keep in mind that when Bush came into office, the budget was essentially balanced.
2) We are still in a very bad economic situation. A situation that would be exacerbated horribly if we simply take the Republicans at face value, who propose to: freeze current tax rates, cut spending to 2008 levels (one of the only reasons it is higher now is that Obama actually included the cost of Afghanistan and Iraq in the federal budget, which Bush and the Republicans managed not to do through some, shall we say creative accounting--seems to me that got us into the current mess we're in, in more than one way), and rescind the health care reform bill that was just passed, which flawed though it may be, at least attempts to address some of the costs and injustices that exist in our current system (keep in mind, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the health care bill will actually reduce the federal deficit).
So, now, you are about to be told by a bunch of complete assholes with no conscience whatsoever (Republicans), that all of your problems, the deficit, and the economy, are the fault of the Democrats. You are going to be bombarded by ads paid for by multinational corporations that have moved their manufacturing bases overseas, effectively exporting millions of American jobs, telling you not to vote for Democratic candidates. Oh, and the kicker for that one is that these fucksticks have been allowed to do this by a Supreme Court ruling made possible by Bush appointees, John Roberts and Samuel Alito, striking down campaign finance laws, so that now, technically, Chinese or Saudi Arabian companies, or even international tycoons of ill repute, can spend as much money as they want attempting to influence our elections.
Look, am I super impressed with Obama? No, but at least Obama and the Democrats have their noses pointed in the right direction. The Republicans essentially are proposing to do exactly what they did for the last eight years they were in power. They still think that tax cuts are the only answer for an ailing economy, and as far as deficit spending, THEY'RE THE FUCKING ONES THAT RAN IT UP IN THE GOD DAMN FIRST PLACE, SO I CERTAINLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE SHOULD TRUST THEM NOW!
The fact is, if Republicans win in November, at the very best, nothing will get better, because our government will be shut down by constant inquiries attempting to dig up dirt on Obama, so they try to impeach him like they did to Clinton when they took back Congress in 1994. But, in all likelihood, things will actually get a lot worse, because we're in not in any kind of situation where we can afford for our government to be inefficient or trending backwards.
Put it this way--many Republicans want to get rid of Social Security. Can you imagine where we would be if Social Security was gone, given the recent burst of the housing bubble and the collapse of the stock market that followed. It would mean that much less money being paid out to businesses and landlords. It would mean that many of us, on top of supporting ourselves in hard financial times, would have to be supporting grandma and grandpa as well. And if the tea partiers had their way, and manage to get rid of Medicare, well, then we'd be stuck paying for those bills too, and that is much deeper shit than we're in now.
I hope people aren't going to be too stupid again, but if you run across someone that plans on voting for the Republicans this fall, please, for the love of your country, please remind them of how badly those stupid fucking morons ruined our economy in the first place, and what they did between 2000 and 2008. Because things are still really bad, but if these guys get back into office, we're truly, simply, fucked.
