Since this debacle was started by the republicans i suggest the democratic photographers have a platform to speak out on- after all it is mostly democrats in the streets today protesting the way the republicans have run the ecomony into the ground.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the 'Fasten Seatbelts' sign..........
Speaking as someone who watched for several years as the warnings about the mortgage backed securities were being allowed to operate (by democrats and republicans) (and most warnings about their peril coming from reps), I take issue with your statement that the republicans caused all this.
The truth is that Americans caused this, and most of the fault is at main street and Washington, and what excesses exist on Wall Street were a small blip and would never be noticed if it were not for our own excesses.
Doesn't this belong in general chit chat and not here?

please in the name of God take this garbage elsewhere like to cnn.com. this is a photography discussion section, unless you have some info that Obama is giving free dslr's to every American to stimulate Japan's economy , please in french " fermez la bouce".
Better yet....as Bill Cosby says, "In the name of Rudy!"
I am a Democrat and a photographer but I am also a Vietnam Vet and remember the Hippies, and War Protesters and Civil Rights Marches and I will always love JFK. The sad fact is that he Hippies are running the news media and for them this is1968 but I know better the little Commie pigs are squeelling in the streets and asking the taxpayers to fund them is worse than the down fall of the rich it,s rise of the lazy and worthless that scares the hell out of me.

I agree with Wild Bill, lets not start hate mongering on this site. We all have photography in common lets enjoy and learn in that venue.
Admin, please block these types of posts.
Thanks,

I come on here to get away from the world's problems. Nice to talk about things on the chit-chat area but I don't think politics or religion have any place here. Just my opinion.
I can't understand why anybody would open a thread, read it, and then complain that they don't want to read about it's subject here (on the forum). The title of this thread alone should be enough to let you know if you want to read it or not.
And it is in "general chic-chat" which is for non-photo talk.
I, for one, needed a good laugh this morning and when I saw the topic I knew I could get one here. We could name any thread where one party bashes the other to "The Pot Calling the Kettle Black!"
After all, deep down we all know that the woes of this country can be attributed to both parties. Come on Roger, you gotta admit that jack-ass party is equally as guilty as the dumbo party. Oh, last I saw you were leaving the forum because it was too red for you. Good to see you're still here.
