Let's just buy everything over sea's you FKN LIBS!!!! Did i say i hate a FKN LIB?????????I would LOVE to see a civil war in this country LIBS VS CONSERVATIVES. whoever wins can have it and either let's get back to what made this country great or let the gays, tree huggers, bay killers and atheists have it.
GB... this has nothing to do with Libs and Conservatives and if you think it does... well, you are part of the problem. The problem with the ENTIRE government (R's AND D's) is deregulation and pandering to corporate and other country interests.
A prime example: In Sept of 2010 our republican-led senate voted to block legislation that would remove the tax breaks that US corps get for eliminating US jobs and creating jobs in brazil, India, china and Russia (this has been in place since the Clinton administration). It also would have awarded companies that bring jobs back from abroad by offering a two-year hiatus from payroll taxes for those positions.
ALL Republicans voted Nay to block the bill. All Dems except 5 voted Yea. Why? Because the corporations who donate money into election campaigns and give kick backs to our elected officials wouldn't allow it to happen because it would eat into their profits too much... oh, and because India and China have two of the largest PAC's in US politics and both are pushing a bunch of money into election campaigns as well.
S. 3816 (Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act )

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00242#stateBet you didn't even hear about this bill on Fox news did you? Of course not because they had no way of describing the hypocrisy.
The political agenda the past 10 years is about dividing us... the US citizenship... into thinking it's liberals vs. democrats. What you fail to realize is us vs. us solves none of our problems... it just keeps us preoccupied. The real fix is us (ALL of us) standing up to a government that is so completely broken.
And for the record... I do not buy anything that is not made in the US if given a choice. The ONLY items not made in the US in the past 3 years that have entered my home are computers and cell phones as NONE are made here. I also refuse to shop at Wal-Mart (which, in my opinion is an act of treason). I will bet money you cannot say the same.
