Death Panels because it creates an immediate sense of a threat which the racist Conservative Terrorists may act upon with Assassination attempts.

Had to go with fascist since the GOP are the fascists. They don’t even know what it is.

I voted for Obama is a fascist. I mean he can’t be a socialist/communist and a fascist too.

I need an all category on this one. At least my favorite three.

I voted the Birther lie, because of the hypocritical irony that Obama’s opponent, McConJob, actually was born out of the country.

Lisa, an ‘all’ category would be such an obvious choice that it would defeat the intent of the poll.

The new poll is on Finance Reform.  Chose all the answers with which you agree.  If you need help with the terminology, ask here.

Here are the results of the Stimulus Poll.

And here are your comments.

As a small business owner myself, if I can catch a little (tax) break and lets say I hire an employee @ $40,000, and he nets me (my company) $70,000, I consider that a win-win-win situation…

He/She’s employed and earning $$$, my company makes more money, and then I pay taxes for government junk… I may catch a break, but still the gov’t gets their cookie from me and my new employee…

Everyone is happy!!!

Re-educating workers is critical in a society where technological change is evr more rapid, and low-skilled jobs will probably continue to decline even in boom times.

Tax breaks for new hires will have the most immediate effect.

Green energy is a field which will grow more rapidly than we expect, and we’ll need the results it produces.

I chose R and D, Green energy, and infrastructure. These three are important because these three fields are what America has allowed to slip from their grasp. Our infrastructure is outdated and crumbling, our energy is dependent on fossil fuels (with oil from foreign nations), and we lack research and development in newer technologies. The lack of all three are causing a tremendous economic burden to Americans and the government.

I voted for the top three, but all are important tools, except the GOP choice I included.

There is a new poll up in which you get to pick for the GOP’s biggest lie.  That is a herculean challenge.

Here are the results of the GOP Villains poll.

And here are your comments.

Not forgetting the Rockefellers, the elitists that supported eugenics and mass murder….

Cheney was a Dick, but he could only push bad legislation. Beck’s attempting to re-write history, and he’s been given an FNC show to do it from. Cheney’s largely irrelevant now, and Palin, Boehner and McConnell hurt the ‘Pubs more than they help. Only Rove come’s close, but he’s overated. He won on dumb luck, not evil genius. He’s really rather a fool.

 

From Gwendolyn H. Barry on March 11, 2010 at 1:53 pm. 

 

I say Rove because he went a great way to enable the worst… Cheney.

 

From Kevin Kelley on March 11, 2010 at 11:34 am.

 

My vote was for Glenn Beck. While Cheney has demonstrated his evilness in the past, Palin demonstrates just a gross ignorance, and Rove is just another voice of the Bush administration trying to remain relevant, I think it is Beck’s influence that is the most worrisome, because he is able to pull the ratings for the right-wing, and to teabaggers, his word is gospel. He is the biggest name to corrupt everything from history to politics… considering his meddling in local elections to try and achieve his goals, etc…

Glenn Beck is just plain dangerous.

With the Cheney choice you get both Liz and Dick…

 

From Lisa G. in reply to Grung_e_Gene on March 16, 2010 at 11:36 am.

 

Seconded! A twofer!

 

From SoINedAName in reply to Grung_e_Gene on March 12, 2010 at 3:54 pm.  

 

Excellent point!

(Although The Dick would be enough to get my vote.)

I voted for Karl Rove, because he was the one most responsible for the Bush Regime’s assent to power.  However, I had not considered that with Cheney, we get a twofer: the five deferment ChickenHawk and the Lizard of Lies.  Therefore I stand humbly corrected.

The new poll is allows multiple choices and should provide some good food for thought.

I’m making a couple changes, and here they are.

First, having the ability to get stats at server level has shown me that Statcounter misses literally hundreds of visits each month, so I am setting out visit count back to zero, effective 2/28/2010, and we’ll count afresh for the new location.  However, the tools I have do make it difficult to associate an individual visitor with a visit number, because it’s listed by IP address.  Therefore, I will be retiring the old award for thousands of visitors and institute a new award for every 500th comment.  If that comment is mine, the award with a link in the sidebar will go to the person who posts the next comment after mine.

I installed the AddThis plugin yesterday to make it easier for you to share Politics Plus articles at your favorite social networking sites.  Each article now has a ‘share’ link clicking it brings a few common choices.  Clicking ‘more’ gives several dozen choices, including many that I’ve never heard of, so I trust your favorites are there.  I hope you will support this blog bu using it frequently.
