The enemy you know is way worse than the enemy that acts like your friend only to stab you in the back.
Once Republicans have the numbers again in the future they're not going to reduce the size of government in any meaningful way, ever. THAT'S A PROMISE. We're on a one way path to larger and larger government.
The way Republicans talk you'd think when they're in power they'd put half the federal government and spending on the chopping block. Surely that's what the republican constituents want, right? I think politicians of both parties forget that they are not our leaders, they are our elected representatives. The difference being that we're supposed to tell them what we want, not them tell us what we should want.
Democrats tax and spend, Republicans borrow and spend. Neither ever ever ever cuts spending.
Spending and our debt exploded under Reagen, and they exploded under Bush.
At the democrats advertize that they want to spend money. They get people that actually agree with their socialist agenda to vote for them. They are wrong, but atleast they advertize what they are going to do.
Republicans however campaign on cutting spending, cutting the size of the government. But once they get in power, do they slash the government at all, do they keep any of their promises? No, not even slightly. THEY LIE TO US CONSISTENTLY, TELL US EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR, THEN STAB US IN THE BACK AS SOON AS THEY GET OUR VOTE.
They are the real enemy here. The size of the government, and the debt exploded under Reagen, and it exploded even more under Bush. Bush gave us Medicare Part D, the trillion dollar bailout of Wallstreet, and the 1.3 trillion dollar debt when he left office. He didn't veto a single one of these, the republicans didn't oppose any of these. They are reason we are in this mess.
Stop letting this continue.
NEVER EVER VOTE FOR A CAREER POLITICIAN, NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU, NO MATTER WHAT THEY PROMISE, THEY ARE LYING.
The only way we are ever ever going to get our country back is to elect in regular ordinary people, like Sarah Palin.
Heck I would happily support the one and only exception that proves the rule, the one and only politician that has ever ever voted against Reagen's and Bush's bloated budgets, government expansions and spending sprees, Ron Paul.
But if the GOP doesn't nominate a real person, not a politician. If they nominate another RINO like Tim Pawlentiny, or Mitt Romney or anyone in the Senate or House, I urge you please, please, don't vote for them.
Demand that Sarah Palin run as a third party candidate and vote for her instead. Even if it costs us the election, it will atleast send the GOP a message and maybe next time, they will put a real person, not a politician on the ticket.
Yes, it sucks to lose. But if we did this back in 2008, if we refused to vote for McCain and instead voted for a none-Rino. If we asked Ron Paul to run as a third party candidate and voted for him, then maybe we wouldn't have wound up with another RINO/Career Politician like Mitt Romney or Tim Pawlentiny as our nominee in 2012.
The way Republicans talk you'd think when they're in power they'd put half the federal government and spending on the chopping block.
But once in power, they never, ever, ever, ever come remotely close to doing that. Not even close. They lie to us.
So please, I beg of you, just say no. No politicians. Either we get a real person on the ticket, or vote third party.
Well aren’t you just precious.
Very subtle
this jerk can’t even fake it as a Troll...why waste the Zot?
Well, hi there.
Okay...I’ll play. And how are things over at Comedy Central these days?
So do you have a link to whatever horse’s azz site you cribbed this from??
It's well documented that Reagan's budgets presented to congress would have produced a surplus. He inherited the Great Depression and left us with the greatest boom in US history. Hussein's first 100 days produced higher deficits than Bush's last 6 years in office.
Chump change compared to what Obama has done in six months and what he is planning to do to kill capitalism for generations in America.
His ‘writers’ penned it.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
Welcome to FR, Stephen. There are some FReepers who will accuse you of copying this stupefying drivel from somebody’s website, but I’m not one of those. I have faith in you Stephen. I believe you wrote this all by yourself.
Why bless your pointy little head.
Kitten food.
and IBTZ!
You’re not Colbert. Colbert was never funny, couldn’t coherently construct a joke and is so overrated he needs his liberal lackey media to TELL US he’s funny.
