So i am watching CNN [View all]

And they got their usual panel of republican assholes and democrats who couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag.

It’s about who is better for the economy and the repugs are going on how tax cuts always help the economy and they went on and on how bush tax cuts grew the economy and how great it was. And how Obama blew it with his responses to the great recession and that there was never a worse recovery.

Not one democratic panelist could find the obvious words of rebuttal. Like..... umm...bush’s policies brought us to the brink of economic catastrophe. Or that not one policy has changed since the rumpass took office and it is all Obama policy that has made the economy strong. Damn. Can we get some better people out there to represent us on these shows.

Weak. I am talking to you Paul Begala and Christine Quinn.

This is how we lost. People who can’t think of the obvious truth to set the record straight. And of course Anderson Cooper just keeps going while the liars from the right spout their shit.

Makes me so gadddam mad!!
