So one of McCain's heroes, Teddy Roosevelt was the person that

[Winterblues]

instituted America's Progressive taxation system we have today. It is this system that McCain and Palin are calling socialistic..There truly is something very wrong with these two people...

1. Would Teddy Roosevelt support Big Oil drilling in the Gulf or Alaska?

Methinks not.

2. We Need Someone More Like the OTHER President Roosevelt Now

I think Obama could rise to that challenge.
McAin't? More like the second coming of Herbert Hoover.

3. Teddy also fought agaisnt corporate monopolies and worked to protect the environment

If Teddy were around right now, he'd be considered a Liberal.

4. What's actually "wrong" is that there are so many people who follow them unthinkingly.

We've not done a great job, either teaching our own history, or getting people to actually understand the true issues.

It was done better in the past, in many respects.

5. The Republican Party has taken the characteristics of an airplane engineered by a madman

There are grossly underpowered propellers on each end pulling in opposite directions, and the wing is placed upside down producing negative lift. The cockpit has no view to the outside to insulate the passengers from unpleasant and frightening sights.

The inadequate landing gear has been placed as an afterthought from 8 years of experience that led them to believe it wont be needed, and the rudder is bolted in a neutral position. The pilot is old and senile with a known record of bailing out, and the bespectacled stewardess strolls the aisle passing out Kool Aid.

The Barstool Republicans keep boarding however, because it has "choose life" and "drill, baby, drill" stickers on the side.

They're in for a rough landing.
