Liberal Hippy Politics, is a concept that faded into history during the late 70s or early 80s after hitting its peak around 1972.
The hippy political movement was an anti-establishment force that was organized by anti-war college students. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was the first presidential candidate supported by the hippies and George McGovern was the last major hippy supported candidate in 1972.
During the 70s, the hippies grew up and became yuppies and supported moderate mainstream candidates like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

Get the Liberal Hippy Politicsmug. A term describing the faulty logic of Reaganomics. Also known as trickle down, the theory is that if you reduce income (i.e. cut taxes) then you somehow generate more revenue. Obviously, this is not rational thinking.
The proof that this did not work (as if anyone needed it) is the fact that the national debt tripled during the Reagan Administration.

Get the Reagan Mathmug. Kind of like Satan worshippers, only more open and less into rituals. Seriously, there are members of the Republican Party that worship the second worst president ever! (after GW Bush) The republitards invoke his name in debates and even Bush43 said he wanted to be just like Reagan.
The Reagan Administration caused serious, long-term damage to this country--reagannomics, tripled debt, "star wars," union bashing, education cuts, pro-business/anti-worker policies and creating the Taliban to fight the Soviet Union in Afganistan! Yet Republicans still think he's great. WTF?!

The G.O.P. is full of Reagan worshippers, some of these sick fucks actually wanted to desecrate Mount Rushmore with a Reagan memorial! WTF?!! Now 20 years after the end of the Reagan era (but not the end of the negative impact), the Republitards in congress are talking about putting Reagan's picture on coins and/or paper money!

Get the Reagan Worshippersmug. A very talented and very funny stand up comic! She established herself early as bold, sassy, blunt and occasionally rude. She always has blunt, honest and funny commentary on current events and politics.
It's always a good time when Wanda Sykes is on the Tonight Show. She has a lot of good funny observations about dumbass Republicans and even playful criticism for Democrats. She also made an appearance at the 2009 Washington Correspondents' Dinner, where she made some good comments about Rush Limbaugh's stupidity.
Wanda Sykes:often controversial, always very funny!

Get the Wanda Sykesmug. An early 2010 decision by the U.S. Supreme eliminated limits on campaign donations from corporations. This decision lead to corporations declaring holy war on incumbent Democrats. Big corporations spent HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on Republican campaigns, mostly through secret "non-profit" organizations and 527 groups. With the help of these unlimited corporate donations, the G.O.P. outspent Democrats 10 to 1. Unfortunately for America, the 2010 Election will go down in history as the nasiest and most expensive mid-term election ever (so far.)
The Corporate Jihad in 2010 lead to the Republicans gaining a controlling majority interest in Congress and an increased minority share of the Senate. The only real winner in this election was the media and advertising firms.

Get the Corporate Jihadmug. Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States of America. The most intelligent and articulate man to live in the White House in decades! He has a wife and 2 kids and actually knows what "family values" really means. He actually cares about people and he is working hard to make the world a better place for ALL Americans.
Since day one, Obama has been working hard to fix the heinous disaster George W Bush (a.k.a. W) left behind. Since the G.O.P. thinks ol' Dubya was so great, they have a to fight to maintain their republitard status quo, by trying to derail Obama. The neocon fuckwits are calling Obama a liberal and a socalist. He is really just a good man in a bad shituation and the bailouts of big corporations was actually started by Bush. Obama is continuing those programs and also helping our auto industry. He knows (as well as anyone with any sense) that with our Big 3 car companies, failure is not an option. We must all work together to get ourselves and our country out the the Bush Depression and work to prevent this kind of disaster from happening again! Obama can make America great again but he needs help from Congress and each one of us to do it. So let's all work together!

Get the Obamamug. Fiscal responsibility is a term republicans pull out for campaign ads every election cycle. The G.O.P. claims to be fiscally responsible while claiming their Democratic opponents are not.
Obviously, the Republican Party has no idea what being "fiscally responsible" actually means! A budget should include adequete revenue (i.e. taxes) to cover all the obligations. Republicans think the only way to balance a budget is to cut taxes. Democrats, like Bill Clinton, know that cutting expenses AND increasing revenue is the only way to balance a budget. Democrats' tax and spend idea is a lot more logical than the Republicans' borrow and spend policy!
Remember that about 75% of our national debt was caused by the last 3 Republican presidents! (Reagan, Bush41 and Bush43) The last two times the national budget was balanced a Democrat was president!! (Lyndon Johnson 1969 and Bill Clinton 2000)

The tea party claims to be concerned about fiscal responsibility, however they didn't seem concerned about it when George W Bush was cutting taxes and running up huge debts while trying to fight two insane and inappropriate wars!
