I guess they don't much care if he's a liar. And they don't much care what Republicans think. But the problem is that he's not a very good liar. He's not a very good propaganda orchestrator. After all, what did they hire him for but to persuade people that it's all the Republicans' fault?
I wonder if Tim paid his taxes this year?
Does anyone actually believe these guys?
"Aesops Fables, The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
What, you mean the Democrats can no long bribe the electorate with the taxpayers money... Amazing America is finally waking up to the danger of all this nanny state entitlement spending... Every time a Democrat says something negatvie about spending cuts Repbulicans need to be out front calling them corrupt politicians that try to stay in power by promising constituents that they will steal money from taxpayers to increase their own power base...
Photo-shop "Treasury" on the cover of Hermey's book and you have Timmy!
Seems to me that when a family member overuses a credit card, you cut it up. Problem fixed...
OK. Let’s say that Timmy the rat is right and the Government will default on it’s debt if the debt ceiling isn’t raised by August.
And why would that be a bad thing? So the communist chinese and saudis don’t get paid. So what? And the Federal government can’t borrow as much money. Or maybe can’t borrow any additional money at all. OK, and how would *that* be a bad thing?
Sounds like the only people who lose in a default scenario are wall street, the banksters, the saudis, red china, and those who were too foolish to dispose of their t-bills while they could.
Imagine, for one second, if GW Bush did that. The Democrats and media would have gone CRAZY.
I am so disgusted by all of this.
To further twist the knife, Biden has been said to be "agreeable" to a proposal to steal 5% of federal workers salaries, to put into the Federal pension fund, so that Obama and Geither can raid it some more.
Now, tell me again - what if GW Bush did that?!
The word is that he might be able to keep borrowing indefinitely because there is no “OR ELSE” in the section of the law that would apply to borrowing beyond the debt limit.
Tim better watch behind him, or the door might hit him from behind someday when he’s on his way out. But seriously, how hard do some of these people work? They often don’t sound all that scripted, like they used to. It’s as if...
Well, it’s rediculously bad orchestration, and it’s so bad that even a conservative independent like myself feels they should do mock stage performances in the White House because they seriously just cannot act.
