Great thinking Rick! Promise voters free taxpayer money forever!

The only problem is, folks ain't buying it no more. This ain't the glory days of the New Deal and the Great Society. Folks are, how should I put this.....more sophisticated than back then. They've learned from experience that government healthcare sucks and that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.

Please Rick, don't ever change. Like Rush Limbaugh says, we'll need a few liberals left to remind people of the bad old days when liberals ruled the world.

There is a website that thousands of committed Republicans spend hours on, giving and receiving marching orders.

Talk about a terminal case of projection.

[Tijeras_Slim]

What's the deal? Almost 5 years here, and a dollar-a-day FReeper and I've never gotten marching orders. Am I missing something? :)

[cripplecreek]

Ricky sent me a FReepmail one day that would make a sailor blush.

Like Rush Limbaugh says, we'll need a few liberals left to remind people of the bad old days when liberals ruled almost ruined the world.

Better...?

[dirtboy]

The most glorious thing about congressional Democrats is that they have drawn the line and said: No further. Don't. Touch. Social. Security. It is a heroic stand. What's more, it's been enormously politically effective.

Who cares that the surplus has been spent and the Trust Fund is a fraud that dwarfs the corporate accounting scandals for which the Dems get their undies in a mega-twist. As long as it's "enormously politically effective", morality need not be considered.

And then they wonder why they're losing.

>>>>What I call "superjumbos"—grand policy commitments that span generations—add value by the very credibility of the commitment


That's true until one actually goes broke. At that point, NOTHING! the government touches will have ANY credibility.

Sorry, but I have no interest in un****ing the Donkey. As far as I'm concerned, the Donkey can stay ****ed. Or better yet, go **** itself.

.....only 30 percent of Americans call high taxes a very serious problem

Kristinn, this is the most comical line in the piece..... Ask those in the top 10 percent about HIGH TAXES... Or better yet us middle classers who make up the majority of the revenues...and got next to nothing back.

[MarkeyD]

If the Democrats succeed in redistributing economic power, we're screwed.

Ricky, Ricky, Ricky. We don't EVER worry about that. We know it will never work!

[Bahbah]

Bump to read at home.

[snarks_when_bored]

kristinn, you write an e-mail to Rick and tell him what a putz he is.

dirtboy, you sponge the drool out of your buffer.

—End of marching orders transmission for today.

[Panerai]

Must be talking about those trolls from DU.

[A. Pole]

Please refer to your handout. The first column records some typical things "Freepers" say. The second records what the same Freeper said after the Senate voted cloture on the president's bankruptcy bill. Column A: "We are going to see a day, in our lifetimes, when schools force children to engage in homosexual acts as 'projects' or 'homework' for sex-ed." Same guy, column B: "The newly amended bankruptcy law is a criminal act perpetrated, bought and paid for by commercial pirates masquerading as legitimate businesses."

I won't belabor the point that I believe that the Democrats pay a huge long-term price for those Democrats who let that bankruptcy bill go through. The Republicans understand us better than we understand ourselves. When we are not credible defenders of the economic interests of ordinary Americans, we amount to little. When we are, we're a nuclear bomb to the heart of their coalition.

Nothing scares them more than us returning to our simple answers

Ain't gonna happen, Rick. The democratic party is so bogged down with kooky, looney leftist fringe groups that it will NEVER recover to its glory days.

Keep on dreaming, though - it makes for good theater.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Made my day.

[My2Cents]

"Building a progressive idea structure" ain't the problem. It's recovering the progressive foundation.

They're too attached to their "Hate Bush" mentality to actually come up with a new guiding ideology.

[MadIvan]

It's simple. Barack Obama put it exquisitely in his victory speech: "Government can help provide us with the basic tools we need to live out the American dream."

What insufferable arrogance. To refute, I quote the timeless Calvin Coolidge:

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Government does not give one the tools - the desire of the individual does. The rule of law is there to allow the individual the latitude to pursue and build their own dreams on their own efforts.

The condescending nature of American liberalism is its Achilles heel - this mindless pretention that the American people cannot possibly survive without them. You lot rebelled against King George, but what they propose is far more suffocating, taxing and full of noblesse oblige than anything he proposed.

Most of us are, but not so with the DUmmies. I know a far too many rapid dems who can only spew FDR rhetoric, even younger ones too young to remember FDR.

Please Rick, don't ever change. Like Rush Limbaugh says, we'll need a few liberals left to remind people of the bad old days when liberals ruled the world.

Amen to that. We all need a laugh, if nothing else. And from the article:

The Christian right is a political machine. Very little is asked of its cogs: just that they consult the call board on election day, and vote the way it says. It takes enormous effort to get them to do just that, as any of their leaders will freely tell you. Any of Richard J. Daley's precinct captains would have told you the same thing.

LOL. Are they for real? Maybe that's how it works for DUmmies in blue nanny-state land...
