Mitch McConnell is on the TV every couple of days.
“I am afraid this will lead us down the road to socialism and unemployment and excema.”
John Boehner, the same. Life is not about fear – unless you are a Republican.
It is about making choices, most of which are weighed as Better or Worse Sometimes if we get lucky, Better or Less Better. Under curent conditions, Worse or Less Worse (that’s Worser or Worserer to one well known Republican).
The people who are now talking about needing to be afraid, are the same people who created the conditions they claim to be afraid of.
Where were the Republicans in 1993, when the Democrats balanced the budget? Hint : Al Gore had to cast the deciding vote, as VP.
Where were the Republicans in 2001, when the budget was in surplus, and they decided to give you and me a $600 refund, and gave the wealthiest people in America, a billion dollars each. And threw the federal budget into a ditch. Mitch McConnell was not worried then about the deficit. No Republican was worried about the deficit. After a while they ran the economy into the same ditch. Then when the Democrats came to power, these GOP lying assholes started whining that every solution to getting the economy back on the road, is going to cost our grandchildren a million dollars each. The Bush era deficits did not cost anything. The war in Iraq – which was not in the budget – did not cost anything. Only the spending made by Democrats is going to impoverish the grandchildren..
If you think the Democrat who is furthest to the left is as far from the center as the Republican who is furthest to the right, you have to show who is a Democrat who is as crazy as Sarah Palin (who is very likely the GOP Presidential candidate in 2012) and Michelle Bachmann. And Marco Rubio. The danger of these characters is that all the Republicans are supporting them. Rudy Giuliani (that asshole) is campaigning for Marco Rubio. Mitt Romney – who supported gay marriage, and who pushed through a universal health care law when he was Governor of Massachusetts – is also campaigning for Rubio. Romney says Charlie Crist is a socialist.
