Or rather, they speak a little more forthrightly.
And frankly, it’s refreshing.
— Though, to David Brooks, it’s a sign that they’re being held hostage by extremist bitter clingers who are too daft to appreciate the crease in Obama’s pant leg.
To which I say, just declare yourself a Democrat and get it over with.
Brooks and Frum would make a great gay couple. Someone should get those kids together.
The Republicans are just “immoral” whereas the Democrats are just looking out for
ustheir perceived political advantage.Why do they call themselves Democrats when they’re not really for democracy?
Good. Now if they only spoke as forthrightly as our host does…
If Brooks declared himself a Democrat he would be one of many soft-left pundits and commentators and the competition for column inches and radio/tv gigs would be very stiff, so much so that he might just lose out. Whereas posing as a “reasonable” conservative and Republican he is much more rare and has an easier time collecting a paycheck and landing those sweet pundit jobs as an analyst on a cable tv show.
You seriously cannot expect the man to cut himself that badly over mere principles, can you?
why is bumblefuck’s media so reluctant to actually explain the tax hikes he wants? CNN propaganda slut Jeanne Sahadi is supposed to be a reporter – here’s all she can offer by way of detail.
So what are the tax breaks, CNN propaganda slut? Would getting rid of them result in more oil produced or less oil produced? Which companies would be most affected? Would changing the tax treatment of jets make companies more likely or less likely to buy and maintain a company jet? What would the impact of these changes be on jobs? Could you maybe put some feelers out? Maybe someone in your newsroom has done the legwork there? Maybe you could send one of those *ALL* emails and just say hey does anyone have any idea what these tax breaks president bumblefuck wants to get rid of are all about?
Let me know what you find out for so I can make an informed decision.
Dr. K did the work for her a few days ago if I remember right, hf. Seems to me he concluded that the total haul to the government from the entire BarryFavoriteListofSpecialDuns would pay off 1/10% of the deficit if given 500 years of collection time, year on year.
Brooks and Frum could parlay being a “conservative” gay political couple into all kids of appearances on Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC. They would get invited to all the best cocktail parties. Celebrities world wide would let them use the pool cabanas and guest rooms. They could just stare at each other and smile whenever some lefty let slip with a “teabagger” comment.
So long as they continued to criticize “bad” conservatives.
Mitch said “deliberate deception.” We’re getting close. The words they are still straining to avoid: lie, liar.
They probably don’t pay her enough to ask those questions. speaking of which, who is paying you?
Now the “CNN propaganda slut Jeanne Sahadi” needs to tell us just who is going to be hit with the other 99% of the Obama/Democrat Trillion dollar (is it one or two trillion lefty math being so esteem based) tax rate increase.
Either happyfeets all of a sudden found his shift key, or he’s put an unattributed block of text in his comment.

I know. It made a lot of sense and was completely on topic.
I did not see that coming.
We could restore him to his prior state by changing the subject to Sarah Palin, or maybe Pam Tebow.
My email to the Speaker.
“Thank you for standing firm against the tax increases that would destroy any chance of a recovery.
Please make sure that all Americans know that we need not default on August 2nd if the debt ceiling is not raised. There is income to pay the debt interest and other expenses. And that what gets paid is a decision totally on the back of the President.
Making those spending decisions for political advantage, as some on the Democrats side are calling for doing, is a despicable action.
Hang tough on your end and we shall do the same on ours.”
Did Sahadi decide not to abort a baby? That’s the only thing I can think of that would explain things.
Okay*.
Okay Slart –just remember you asked for it:
You know you want to click that link.
Heh, great minds think alike as they say.
What? No mention of penetrating the opposition’s…oh, I give up.
TOBO: Tired Of Bending Over
Oh, I had already read that article, Ernst. You made me click it again, though.
God bless America!
I think America is a lot underestimating how desperate their coward president is to have something fresh to blame America’s failshit economy on.
McConnell goes himself one better, substituting a solid proposal for his mere words of recognition of the facts about Obama. “Step up to the dinner plate, President Obama,” says McConnell, “your peas await you.”
Those evil Republicans and their damned scare tactics:
Obama says he cannot guarantee Social Security checks will go out on August 3
Yes he can. His Treasury Secretary has complete authority to choose exactly what gets paid and what doesn’t. And with the average $200 billion monthly revenue coming in, he has enough to make the debt payments as well as make all SS, Medicare and Medicaid payments, as well as covering all military pay (active duty and veterans). Only the federal employees and bureaucrats would be screwed.
As summed up nicely here.
Yes, he is a lying, desperate shitbird he is.
Have you guys seen the full text of McConnell’s speech? It’s a thing of beauty. Honestly, I didn’t think he was capable of such straight talk.
More like this please, Mitch!
Seriously, Mitch, keep giving this speech ’til the networks have to give it coverage. Don’t let up!
