Republicans drive us into a ditch economically, Democrats bail us out.
Hoover leads to…
Reagan/Bush leads to…

Except can you see Congressional Republicans in FDR’s day having a press conference and saying “We were all in on this whole ‘Lend Lease’ thing, but then Roosevelt made a speech that hurt our feelings, so we’re advocating neutrality toward that Hitler guy, he’s just misunderstood and at least is against the Bolsheviks!”
Oliver, well put.
All we need now is for our fellow Americans to never vote Rebublican – then the Democrats can reform America rather than just save it now and then.

Is it that you fancy a one-party state, or just a different conservative party than the Republicans? Should it be the former, I have some suggestions, though none of them are terribly pleasant places to live. Should it be the latter, I have to ask – how would the new conservative party be different or better than the current one?
More on topic, I feel the historical comparison is relevant. Any time our economy gets too in line with one of the two competing ideologies (and America, like nearly all modern countries, tends to consistently have two ideologies), it goes to shit. Balance is key.
Every time we let the bastard Republicans in charge, at least for the past century, we lose an entire sector of our financial system. Poof. You’d think we might learn.
But who knows? Maybe Obama will win, there’ll be a great New Green Deal, or Green New New Deal, or whatever, and everything will turn fantastic.
And then 8 years later or whenever, some stupid, shoot-your-own-foot Democrat scandal will prompt Americans to once more elect some idiot populist Republicans, and then we’ll lose, what, everything?
Change we can believe in –
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
The current administration’s done the pushing.
No two people are working harder to elect Obama than George W Bush and John McCain.
95 dems voted against the wall street fat cat bailout. Is Pelosi such a failure as speaker that she can’t “whip” 12 democrats?
Worst congress EVER!
Yes, it is, but not for the reasons you think it is.
Gosh, willie. Whose bailout plan was that? Mr. Bush’s? How many Republicans was he able to rally to the cause?
See you in the breadlines, buddy.
William, you… you mean the democrats voted their districts’ interests instead of party lines? Even over the desires of the house leader?
Crazy talk.
It blows my mind that some con trolls here are claiming that the failure of the bailout bill is all the Dems and Pelosi’s (in particular) fault, because Dems voted 60% FOR the bill, while 2/3 of Repubs voted AGAINST the bill.
Jesus fucking Christ, do you people listen to yourselves? At the very least, both parties share culpability on this one.
William, you… you mean the democrats voted their districts’ interests instead of party lines? Even over the desires of the house leader?
Crazy talk.
If voting against the bill was “in their districts’ interests”, then it looks like more Republicans (132) were for their their districts’ interests than Democrats (95).
Thanks for the clarification, Parthenon.
