Three points.
1. No one mentioned Venezuela. They were one of our bigger sources of oil. That was, until President Clinton supported Hugo Chavez and helped him into power. Given that Chavez is a Communist once the oil began to flow out of Venezuela again it was going not flowing toward the U.S.
2. Better to be pro-business than in league with businesses like the Fascists. (Fascism = Communism but with big business working with the Government to control.) At least with businesses we can vote daily with our money.
Now, go look at the top big business "owners" and see where their loyalties lie. Here are two for you. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. Should I mention that Jeffrey Skilling and Kenneth Lay sent 80% of their money to the democrats... well, until a few months before us minions found out about their corruption. They sent huge donations to the republicans at the last minute hoping that they could be protected or even bailed out.
Notice that the biggest businesses (Unions, both Teachers and Labor) illegally force their members to make politcal donations (via dues) and, in the case of the Teachers unions, illegaly donate to to their favorite politicians. The democrats.
Look at the the average contributions made to the presidential candidates. The average contribution is many times higher for the democrats than the republicans. Yes, I am aware of the stats that show them to be fairly equal when contributions UNDER $200 are ignored.
Look, both parties are corrupt. We need a third party to fix the problem. No third party can be viable unless run off elections are forced when no candidate gets 50% of the electoral votes. Thus, we can't fix it easily.
How to fix it? Get rid of partisan politics by voting for which ever candidate most strongly supports the Constitution and demonstrates good character. One party, however, says character doesn't matter which makesOUR job (liberal and conservative) harder.
