>>Is that their “polite” way of stating WE THE PEOPLE are beyond dysfunctional?
That’s exactly what they are saying. They’re also saying that “now that we finally got a real Marxist in the White House, you dumb people aren’t supposed to resist anymore. We’re doing this for YOU!”
In other words, “if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it.”

Obama says that he won't be able to send out Social Security and Veterans Administration checks
- Financially speaking, this has been shown to be wrong by so many.
- Technically speaking, this would throw gov't programmers into a tizzy trying to get this to happen. It's not like there's one program somewhere that a dweeb at some computer decides to run or not. It's like when Ahnold decided that all gov't employees should make minimum wage; it's just not that easy.

They want to pose as defenders of the middle-class and the American dream, even as they promote legislation that would destroy the programs and institutions that are the foundation of that way of life. The middle-class and the American dream are the result of private enterprise, not government largess. It is high taxes and government overspending that are the threat.
To: upchuck
They could listen to ultra-conservative senators like Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga. -- members of the Gang of Six/Seven whose own profound ideological hostility to Obama and the Democrats still leaves space for prudence. Or they could listen to the 65-70% that WANT caps on spending without tax increases, or are WE too stupid to even have a voice?

The left will win the PR battle. I'm wondering whether or not "The Divine One" is hoping for a good constitutional crisis. During such a crisis he and his minions can seize vast amounts of power, pass laws, raise funds, suspend the writ, etc. etc.
Congress being an egotistical squabbling mob is unable to effectively resist a purposeful few.

Since Mr. Conasan's definition of sanity seems to be in following the same dumb-ass policies that have driven us to the verge of bankruptcy--and he thinks that actually balancing a budget it insane-- I can't put much credence into his opinion.
This nation's ruling elite have demonstrated that they do not have The Mandate of Heaven (to borrow from Chinese culture). They have not ruled well--and they need to go now.

Well, what’s true is this: We cannot govern the country with 75 Members of Congress and 2 Senators.
Tea Partiers who thought we could are stupid.
Change will come when there are <218 dems + reps in the House and <50 in the Senate.

No talent left wing hack Joe Conason was last seen with his feet dangling from Bill Clinton’s rear end during Impeachment. Why would Rasmussen have this left wing cuckoo bird write for his website?

From your post:
“”Conason was a regular guest and a guest host on The Al Franken Show, where he had the distinction of being the only guest with two theme songs. He made an appearances every Friday as a commentator, as well as co-judging with Al their weekly quiz show Wait, wait, don’t lie to me.””
That says it all, doesn’t it?

Conason, Froma Harrop and Susan Estrich come to mind. But he also has a bunch of conservative writers as well: Debra Saunders, Tony Blankly, Larry Kulow, Michael Barone, etc.
