Quote of the Decade

Ole "Lurch" and Axelrod, (what a great handle for ECCIE), were out in force today blaming the Tea Party for all the Countries woes. The Commander in Chief steps up to the teleprompter, and the Dow falls another 200 points.

Sooner or later, The Dems are going to own it. They are just about out of money with which to buy votes.

As Obaminable threatened to do last month, he will throw the older voters (the social security recipients) under the bus, because they will not vote for him again anyway, while laying it on the unions, whose "leaders" have threatened to abandon him due to his "enemic" responses to their demands. [Please note the difference between SS and SSI].

The administration advisor-gurus must still believe that the folks that show up at Tea Party rallies and meetings (and who voted for persons aligned with their views) are a marginal, terroristic, radical group with marginal influence in the political process.

During Nixon's period "they" were called the "silent majority" ...

.. now they are vocal. And they will get louder, stronger, and more influential the more they are demonized.

The solution to the problem is quite simple yet no one has mentioned it....drastically reduce or cut off foreign aide. Originally Posted by oilfieldscum

If you want to fix this, there are only a few programs big enough that you can cut that do anything. Defense. Social Security. Medicare/aid.

Right there is around 3/4 of the budget. Thats what you have to cut if you want to get there without raising taxes. That is why the spineless, gutless, Mitch McConnell's position was to make Obama cut things, because he knew that a lot of the same tea partiers who are pushing for cuts would revolt if you cut their Social Security or Medicare checks.

It just amazes me when these Tea Party Dumbasses suggest cutting some insignificant program whose budget is in the millions of dollars. You can cut all those programs you want, and you won't get anywhere.

Closing tax loopholes gets you much more money than messing around with foreign aid. Especially when the same shitheads who will tell you that you have to fix stuff by cutting foreign aid, will also tell you cutting off Israel, the number one Foreign Aid welfare recipient, is off limits.

I'd do it with an executive order, if I were Obaminable, immediately. That way Michelle will have plenty of time to locate their new residence, get the packing boxes, and order the van. Because the next thing those dumbasses will cut is the discretionary moving budget for the POTUS to vacate the premises when he gets evicted by losing an election.

Go ahead.

Those "dumbasses" (as you call them) just castrated Obaminable, and he doesn't even realize it. Michelle is shocked that there was anything left to cut.

And apparently you don't realize it either.

The unions are pissed at him. The liberal media is getting pissed by the day. The Hollywood crowd is fleeing. The independents are jumping ship in a steady stream. The Hispanic vote is evaporating and will continue to evaporate. You will begin to see resignations, unless the job market continues to be 9+ and his appointees will need to stay on the government tit as long as they can.

And there is the truth. No one can cut Medicare/Medicaid without getting kicked out of office. We aren't going to cut Defense enough. And no one is going to raise taxes. All that's left is fucking idiots whining about programs that are less than 1% of the budget.

So the debt will keep piling up, the way it has under every Republican President since Reagan, and Obama. Because the truth is, the meat of the budget is off the table, and we are too spoiled to pay our bills today, since we'd rather just borrow more money from China.

For all the whining and carping about Obama, it has really been Reagan, Bush, and Bush who built this debt bomb. And the fucking idiot voters will probably end up putting in Perry, who is great if you loved George Bush, you just want someone not quite as intellectual.

Fuck raising taxes.....I pay way more than I think I ought too already.

BTW in industry if you hand out free airline tickets, vacations, cruises, etc to a customer it's know as bribery and it's illegal. In congress it's called lobbying and it's legal. I say fire em all.
Hey Squirrel, you know he is half white? You really have a problem being racist with Obama since he is half and half.

Green = Democratically controlled Congress*
Red = Republican controlled Congress.
Purple = Split Congress.

In 10 years you can factor in the Tea Party. Blue?

*For those not "around" in the 50's, 60's, and 70's ... the "Democratic Party" was different than it is now.

Ike was Republican BTW. So were Nixon and Ford.

So, Carter had the lowest debt, yet was the most hated President?

That's quite interesting

Did I read that right? I'm just Joe Average. I don't know jack about all this political mumbo jumbo.
