I challenge all Freepers to find a more idiotic, stupid, and out-of-touch-with-reality paragraph than the first paragraph above written by E.J. D'idiot.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I agree. That paragraph is idiotic on two counts. First, what it claims, and second, the implication that the GOP could plan anything that far ahead.

[scottinoc]

He gives republicans too much credit. Would that they were so diabolical in their plans to cut spending and shrink government. This paragraph is dumb on so many levels it boggles the mind.

[ClearCase_guy]

people who call themselves conservative are shovelling out so much money so fast to corporations and the privileged

Is the government writing checks? Are we gifting money to Bill Gates? Jeff Bezos? Is gold bullion shifting from Fort Knox to the office of Google?

Or are corporations and hard-working people just being allowed to keep more of what they've earned?

He lives in another reality, where Venzuela is failing because the U.S. is plotting against it.

Does anyone recall O's first campaign promise ... to paraphrase, "I will cut the debt by 50% ...?"

Does E.J. need to re-visit his sippy cup.

Show me just ONE of the 535 ‘Princes of the UNIVERSE’ that will vote to live/retire on what most of us have to look forward to,and then I’ll show that one respect.

Meantime they all “suck at the public teat” like the first born, largest of a litter, and the ‘last borns’ starve !

The GOP bill that should be called the Cut Taxes on President Trump and Other Very Rich People Act of 2017 always had a secondary purpose: to jack up the deficit so Republicans could later cry out in horror, “Look at that awful debt!” They’d then use the pools of red ink they created to justify deep cuts in social programs.

The Fast and Furious program always had a secondary purpose: to smuggle guns into Mexico and cause mayhem so Democrats could later cry out in horror, “Look at that awful crime!” They’d then use the pools of blood they created to justify seizing all firearms.

I propose the paragraph of the article that is paragraph four of your post, which paints Sens. McCain, Murkowski, Collins, Corker, and Flake as "responsible Republicans".

[rockinqsranch]

E.J. Dionne can’t help what he writes. He’s leftist, liberal. No pill, no injection has as yet been invented to cure the disease of liberalism with all its dementia mimicking symptoms.

“BIG PHARMA” must hurry with the R & D before they once again lie their way back into control of our country, and finish us off once, and for all.

[Dapper 26]

Shouldn’t tax cuts go to those who PAY taxes?

[Finalapproach29er]

Where was this p*ssy when BHO ran up $10 Trillion in debt over 8 years?
This is 1.5 Trillon just to give a little freedom/relief(even though this isn’t a great bill). imo

[RatRipper]

He’s partially right. . . the debt level is irresponsible . . . but what we need is a major league spending cut to go with the tax reform, which doesn’t appear to be much of a cut at all.

[pissant]

He’s trying hard to be like his butt buddy, Olbermann
