Hollywood Cool to GOP, But Business Doesn't Waffle

I've noted that anytime a liberal goes on a tirade it is normally baseless and factless. With no clue of why they form these conclusions one can only come to wonder if they themselves are a pawn to their elitist liberal superiors. Promise them free money and they come running like cockroaches on leftovers.
Republican tax cuts and deregulation free businesses from the financial and legal straight jackets that the Democrats corner them in. With their worries put aside businesses are allowed to grow without apprehension of what the future may hold against them.
I like the guy who said Bush squandered our surplus. What surplus?!!! We haven't had a surplus in years and it was only due to a Republican majority in congress during the Mid-90's that we had one then. The Democrats praise the Clinton era when he pushed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to start accepting bad loans from the banking industry as the reason why they are good for business. I would call their tactics cheap but they're not. The Democrats are good at starting problems that take many years to come to fruition, and by that time the Republicans are in office for them to blame.

The Republicans and Geo Bush squandered a surplus to leave our economy in a major recession, killing millions of jobs, outsourcing entire industries while destroying America's manufacturing base.
No one can honestly believe that Republicans are good for business because its plainly untrue.
Shameless dishonestly is the platform for the GOP.
We tried their snake oil for the last decade and the results are the worst economy in eighty years. How did that work out for you?
Now Republicans are faking concern about the deficit while they want $2.5 trillion in unfunded tax cuts to hang the debt on our kids.
I will give them credit that Republicans are the best liars around and their idiot drones are the most gullible cads ever born.

Hollywood is FULL of Left-Wing Liberals and EVERYBODY knows that Republicans are good for business (at least better than Democrats).
If professionally playing "make-believe" is a criteria for picking good leaders then we have the right people in Washington DC as we speak...
CLEARLY that is NOT the reality as the economy and our world standing and our individual choices are torn away one bad bill at a time.
Lot's of "make-believe" being perpetrated upon the American people these dayz!
Hope there's a "Happy-Ending" in November!

Your sense of looking out for Americans interests is twisted if you are proud of the graft and corruption coming from the money some businesses are throwing at elections.
That's the problem with the Supreme Court Citizen's United decision, there's now unlimited money in politics that makes it seems like the country is being run for special interests and their cronyies, and not for the American people.
Don't worry someone else could list as many businessmen donating to Democratic candidates. The point is there is too much money in politics. How much money in politics is not a measure of patriotism, commitment to the common good of the country, or providing for 'the general welfare' as stated in the Constitution.

Should I be impressed that you actually decided for once not to repackage a press release from some conservative organization or amazed at how self-serving this graf is?
"Because unlike the Democratic Party, which Whispers reported receives tens of thousands of dollars in contributions from film, TV, and media stars, the GOP doesn't have many friends in Tinseltown."
You're right, I really doubt that people would have noticed that Hollywood predominantly supports Democrats if "whispers" did not "report" this. This blog has become so irrelevant.
