It must really suck being you.

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.
I LOVE THAT GRAPH! Can I steal that?
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
— Ronald Reagan
You have a zero understanding of politics.
MESSAGE RDC. MISSION ABORTED.
PARSY, WHO REDIRECTING HELI TO MUSTANG RANCH TO CHECK ON HERD OF FILLIES
IATZ
Yet another reason to absolutely hate and despise moderate and other non-conservative republicans and rinos. Colbert and anyone else can say this and recent republicans have shown he's right. Thank you rinos.
Yep! I have been making that claim now for about oh what 2 years, but didn’t think to do a graph to PROVE it.
House of Reps Controls the Wallet, and when Dems get at it, they lose their minds! The graph proves it!!!
Thank you! I will leave the tag right where it is!
“Once Republicans have the numbers again in the future they’re not going to reduce the size of government in any meaningful way, ever.”
Hard to disagree with that statement.
My, you Goons are a caution.
Tell the folks at Something Awful I said “Hi!”
I know you have been banned already, but just in case you decide to come back and see what people here think of you, read this.
There are other people with your IQ currently serving in the US Congress. Just look at the (d) side of the aisle, and you are probably at the top of the IQ list. The swimmer teddy is probably your true political hero, since he is stoned most of the day. Either he is or Robert KKK Byrd may be. Or are you more on the SAN FRAN NAN side? Maybe B Hussein O is your leftwing hero.
Did you have a few too many snorts of cocaine with your Tequila this morning? Why don’t you go to the local office and collect your stinking food stamps and go buy your liquor and cigarettes for the week? Druggies like you should not be allowed anywhere near a computer. That can be dangerous, since you may accidently access a porn site and that could affect your IQ even worse at your age.
Just leave us alone to have our intelligent political discussion. Well, you don’t know what intelligence is, which is evident by your totally ignorant initial post. What is with liberals like you? You have to mess up the Internet with your whiny, juvenile ideas. I know first graders who have much more intellect than you exhibited with your little rant. There is nothing that indicates any amount of intelligence.
Does your mommy know you are alone with her computer? You should be banned from ever being allowed anywhere near any electronics again, since you may accidently shock yourself. Well, that could do some good and ensure you never reproduce any offspring. Go back to doing what you Dummies do best – trash anyone you disagree with and praise the idiot democrats who hate America.
Whatever the case, you should never be allowed to vote in any election. It takes some understanding of politics to understand that every candidate and his or her supporters agree with and have the courage to ensure that agenda is good for America.
Stephen Colbert???
He’s DEAD, Jim !!!
Life’s over. Go commit suicide.
“W had the house and senate, and pissed away the greatest advantage the republicans have had this century”
Yes he did. Bush was guilty of NEVER defending himself
while the MSM hammered him relentlessly every day for years. The only time he stood up was to defend his horrible “no NEA member left behind” bill, and prescription drug bill. Oh, I forgot amnesty for illegal immigrants.....he fought hard, and twisted arms for that.
I really love all the dipsticks who complain about career politicians and then offer up Paul, who has approximately two decades in Washington and plays the game as well as any other denizen of the Potomac swamps.
Ron Paul is viable as a conservative presidential candidate in the same way that an anvil is a viable flotation device.
Your post could have been written in 1976 or 1978.
Time to buck up and take the party of Reagan and Lincoln back from the RINOs.
