    This is obviously fiction. A thinking neo-confederate(!) girl-child who thinks she’s a conservative, like all of you Limbaugh goonies…you really are unmoored to reality.

    ALL of your best and brightest recognize the conflagration of debt among the citizens and want to extend the Bush-era tax cuts to the very people who broke the American citizens…AND you think you’re the brightest people in the room, too.

    And after one of the billionaires built and funded the T Party, lock, stock and barrel, so you would carry his water and get him more tax cuts so he could continue to steal your money…he wants your social security for his brokers to manage, and he wants you to watch his pet Murdoch’s Fox while they continue to tap the phones of congressmen and sway government…just like they did in Britain.

    I swear, you guys try the soul of a Job. But one thing I’m sure of: if you EVER figure out what a con Limbaugh helped foist on you…what subversives your puppetmaster and his propaganda turned you into…you’ll hang or guillotine every right-wing pundit and congressman who signed with Grover. Grover you’ll do twice.

    See? I DO have hope for you guys who think you are conservatives. If and when you realize the TRUTH you will do the right thing. I’m looking forward to the footage…

    So I see Carmen’s in Greece, where they just repealed the laws of economics (in addition to the law of gravity).

    I’m pretty sure “The politics I adore” is a phrase never before used or seen in print. Even political junkies tend to hate actually seeing the sausage being made.

    It seems that gravity does still have a firm grasp on her locks.

    Mitt’s got enough money he can buy all the gravity he wants. It’s the poor and middle class that are floating away on a gale of debt.

    I like Obama’s motto of “Forward”. Straight out of Marx

    Obama racked up more debt in 3.5 years than W did in 8 years. He continued those two wars and added $1 trillion of “stimulus.” Oddly enough, Enron adviser Paul Krugman lamented the cost of the wars and the deficit spending in 2003, claiming it would lead to inflation (even though war spending is Keynesian stimulus), but now is saying we shouldn’t be worried about inflation since deficits don’t matter.

    Anyway, Obama’s first term is a lot like GW Bush’s third term. Both are advocates of big government.

    A huge economic boom (and lower taxes) gave us a surplus. These economic forces were in place and moving before Clinton ever showed up. What Clinton did do is up the ante on the housing bubble and subsequent meltdown that we are still struggling through. ‘W’ did spend too much money. If you’ll recall, he was trying to take issues away from the Democrats with No Child Left Behind, and Medicare Part-D. The only thing Dems could complain about was that he wasn’t spending enough money. Oh ya, then there was 9/11 and the war that Democrats in congress voted for in droves so they wouldn’t appear weak.
