Remember: it was the fringe extremist TEA Party non-compromisers who tried to stop this, while the “sane” establishment types who hope to pick our candidate for the GOP nomination worked overtime to whip up the votes needed to forge a glorious compromise with the Democrats — one that, in addition to giving Obama the debt increase spending he wanted — is now hoping to provide him with even more “revenue” by redistributing money from the military into some new iteration of DNC money laundering.
But we’re the dumb ones who just don’t understand how DC works.
#winning!
War savings huh. Those were the savings that the Democrats wanted to count as against spendings that weren’t going to happen when they were planned not to happen, but now their idea is to make them happen instead? This does get crazy convoluted after awhile.
but… but… the wars made the deficit.
The illegal wars blew a hole in the deficit. The Dens war against jobs and the economy is virtuous spending.
How many times do they get to spend the imaginary savings?
If the new stimulus package involves sending tens of thousands of public union leeches to the far side of the world, then I’m for it.
It’s a whole new meaning for “drone warfare!”
Sometimes I think the objection is more about us not liking the way DC works.
Only in Washington, or a Dem brain, would it make sense for a super committee designed to cut the deficit to propose new spending based on aggressively dishonest accounting gimmicks, especially when said gimmicks gave already produced the illusory savings, and already spent them previously.
War! Huh! Good God, y’all! What is it good for? Absolutely funding Stimulus II!
Yeah, about that smart set:
Read the whole thing.
these guys are obsessed with being the ones to tell their candidates what to do to win and it’s basically get independents, get the middle of the road guys
This betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of independents. There are two groups of independents, those on the right half of the Bell curve and those on the left. The right side independents will vote for a conservative candidate with conservative positions whole-heartedly, IF they are presented in a positive, forward looking manner. The left side independents can’t evaluate rational arguments, so they go by tone and mimicry. Get the right siders and the left siders will follow (they may get distracted by passing squirrels).
None of which requires a candidate to “move to the center”. It requires deep conviction, a sincere, honest belief that your plan is the way for America to move forward, and a thorough understanding of why conservatism, classical liberalism, is the best, true, and in the long run only effective form of compassion.
If I hear the words “Peace Dividend” even once, I’m gonna punch someone in the junk.
how about “peace capital gains”?
“these guys are obsessed with being the ones to tell their candidates what to do to win and it’s basically get independents”[if I may be so re-boldy}
Not only that, but they like to work with the ones which, if they do win, will be suitably, er, grateful for their invaluable(snigger) assistance. More open to further suggestions, once seated, if you get my drift…
