Have you noticed how mainstream media always frames the problems ..

of our country into the “inability of congress to get anything done” bullshit?

In other words just mix the democrats into the congressional bowl as well.. After all democrats are a part of our congress..

But I must ask..

Was it a Democratically controlled congress that decided to deregulate derivatives?
Was it a..Democratically controlled congress which passed an unfunded Tax Cut?
Was it a..Democratically controlled congress which passed an unfunded Prescription Drug Bill?
Was it a Democratically controlled congress which lead us into two unfunded wars, one illegally?
Was it a Democratically controlled congress which consistently pushed for deregulation of the
Banking Industry.. And Yea I remember Clinton’s part in this one...but it was the republi-
cans lead by Phil Gramm who lead the charge.. Clinton needs to take responsibility for
that one .

And yet the MSM fucking media seems always to lump the two parties together when ever discussing these subjects.. Its easier for them this way, instead of actually trying to pinpoint facts.

My point? That this is the reason why currently there is such little enthusiasm for GOTV in the upcoming election... The successful conflation of Dems. and Republicans by the media..
