It is

They SAY they support them. But I'm hearing here that 'big business' is intentionally surpressing the market to make Obama look bad. Perhaps a closer look at who big business really is is in order. The statement is valid.

And like they'd keep their profits down

Also, the governor and the legislature just lowered the business tax and cut spending in an attempt to accelerate business / job growth . We'll see...

Why are the Canadians colluding with American big business to make Obama lose in 2012?

It was not TransCanada that shut the line down.

What congress critters from the Democratic party come to congress from big business? Who in the GOP. So far I haven't seen anything to validate your theory.

The simple fact that the Dems in Congress have a greater per-capita net worth speaks volumes, unless it's inherent in the Democrat party that people aren't people...

I know, I know, they CARE more But then I look at their actions in power. NAFTA, 'Bush' tax cuts, well they did carve out a little exemption for UAW golden health care packages...

So, when did you start bashing success, Pete? Maybe the difference is that the Dem party is full of successful business types and the GOP is full of miserable ne'er-do-wells who always blame others, (the government), for their personal ineptitude?

Careful. The favorite donkey company right now, Government Motors, is headed by a Repub.

Didn't "The Blue Book," created by democrats in order to help democrats avoid patronizing republican businesses, show that democrats supported Wall Street firms more than the republicans? I'd also argue that those coming to Congress without some business background fundamentally lack an important requisite for leadership in an ostensibly capitalist economy.

What? you didn't get the memo: "It's all Bush's fault." The Democrat's entire platform seems to be blaming someone else for someone's failings. The evil business man, the racists, the haves, the polluters, the church, etc. The only thing they don't blame is themselves and their incessant whining and regulations. At some point regulations and laws and rules become worthless as motivators of behavior without a powerful tyrannical government. Once a government loses support of the governed, that government should be replaced with one more acceptable.

AFAIK the polling stations will be open in 2012.

The guy that floated the concept of an additional $1.00 per gallon tax on gasoline in order to promote the sales of smaller cars. We're at $4.00 a gallon and GMs vehicles still aren't selling? Perhaps, he ought take a look at his products.
