1. I like the way you've taken advantage of the video.
The extended black screens give a minimalist feel, like listening to the radio in the dark. :thumbsup:

4. 7. Slash SOCIAL PROGRAMS. "Entitlements" is a re-branding of "social programs"
We need to stop adopting RW spin and language.

5. You just don't see the big picture...
(That's what an old Republican friend of mine always used to tell me)
The Republican plan is only half complete. Just wait. You'll see.
Once they have done the following:
-Privatize Social Security
-Privatize Medicare
-Abolish Medicaid
-Abolish Welfare
-Abolish Federal Unemployment Insurance
-Outlaw labor unions
-Abolish the Federal Minimum Wage
-Repeal child labor laws
-Abolish overtime
-Abolish Public Education
-Bring back the 60-hour work week

YOU WILL SEE JOBS COMING BACK TO AMERICA! GOD BLESS THOSE PATRIOTS IN THE GOP!

12. And?
OK bringing back child labor and the 60 hour work week may have been a bit of a reach since they haven't actually asked for those (yet) but do you see anything else there that we don't know to be on the Republican/ USCOC wish list? (I also forgot to add 'Abolish the EPA) Several of those things are on the agenda of the current Republican Congress, others are pet projects of individual Republican politicians, and the rest I hear Republican "job creators" bitching about all the time as reasons why our economy is in trouble. The Republican groupthink on this is very pervasive.

15. I don't think child labor or 60 hr workweeks are a stretch
at all. I believe they would jump on that, in fact, they've gotten people so terrified of losing their jobs now, people are working longer hours for essentially the same pay. Child Labor is their ideal...they think that a Dickensian style England is paradise.

They created this nightmare, and are now trying to expand it even further, all the while blaming D's for the ails of the country. There is true belief that those at the the top 2% will invest in humanity here in the country...when the reality is, they are simply accumulating more wealth at the expense of everyone else. The only "investment" is in money markets and quick notions of the Stock Markets around the world. The whole rotten mess has to collapse because there is nothing holding it up.

Everything the current R's, neo-cons, GOP, Teabgger "Movement" or whatever they want to be called has an almost religious component to it, nothing is based on fact, it is all some kind of "faith" that it will all work out. It's a sick mindset and indeed Groupthink.

Sad to say, but my G'Ma and mom and dad used to tell me that, "every once in a while a Depression may be a good thing, it brings back reality."

13. The last thing they want to do right now is create jobs. They want Obama to lose
and if jobs are created then that becomes more difficult for them.
