In my business place I see the same “furniture” as Kerry, McCain and so many others who continue to retain their seats and so often prevent anything worthwhile from being accomplished. The tactics used to retain those seats and “look like” they are accomplishing great things continues from one year into the next...and nothing rolls over except their bank accounts.
Whoops!
Teepaw beating on Bachmann and Wallace (of all people) sticking up for the goil.
McCain did all right, considering it was McCain. No need at all to correct yourself. Same old measured voice. Damn, he’s boring.
That super-duper budget committee will be a bust if we’re lucky. I fear a cave-in to the democrats. McConnell had better appoint our hard liner TEA PARTY senators, Mike Lee, Rand Paul and ________? Coburn is too willing to compromise on some issues, right or not?
THIS WEEK (ABC): Panel
Cookie Roberts reminds me how media is trying to equate the
a. dissatisfaction of Republicans caving with
b. Democrats planned increase severity of economic woes
They are not equal and should be clarified
You would never know it today. He must have gotten a call from another tour bus operator who ran with him last time,he was reborn today.
No, Marvin, it's the only war liberals will admit that we lost. You seem to have forgotten the War on Drugs, and the War on Poverty.
Too bad nobody ever figured out that we do best when we go somewhere to have a war, win the war, and go home.
LOL!
the most brilliant description of Kerry ever!!
Exactly, that’s why we have the Tea Party Pats. They can’t be bought, converted, or bribed,they are true patriots.They can and will save the country.
As we know the Democrat's and media who support them never take time to bash anything that's not a genuine threat to them. This simply evidences the Tea Party is a formidable opponent.
FNS
Pawlenty:
Gotta give him credit — he is scoring some good points against Obama and Obama’s failures to show plans.
did you know he was in Vietnam...oh, and in Cambodia one Christmas?
How the h... can McCain sit there with him on the show?
OMG! MADCOW is now considered an ‘expert” on the fiancial situation...HA! God, is she disgusting.
BSNBC is a NEVER view for me. Were I Marxist in Chief for one hour, I would pull their broadcasting license!
WE are the TEA PARTY. Go ahead and blame us. We’ll take it with thanks!! a
And we’re more than 18%, you betcha!
Wallace throws “big spender, MN mess” Bachmann comments at Paw. He fires back successfully with his accomplishments as governor doing what TEAparty and GOP are only talking about.
Best reform record in the states among governors...all done without a Republican majority in his legislature.
I hear you. Defeat and unseat fossil incumbents.
Retain TEA PARTY public servants.
Well he'll be throwing in the towel tomorrow as we know, despite what he says today. My mind races back to his "second wind" in Obamas election year....only to see him hand over the floor to Obama at every turn, he surrendered without a shot fired.
What she is referring to is that ever since 2007(when the Socialists controlled both houses) the left has been manipulating employment and other statistics in their favor and only recently got caught or "revised" the numbers "before they got caught" and now they can use the new numbers as an excuse for more non-performance.
If you didn't see it in living color you wouldn't believe it.
Ah, still listed as White House adviser even though 100% of his time is spent working on the Obama re-election campaign. Nice.
Just so you know, NPR is spinning that the downgrade was a mult-trillion dollar error cuz the white house says so and it’s only significance is as a 2012 campaign narrative for Republicans. No wonder liberals are so uninformed.
OK.....
I think freeper needs to award a medal to those Freepers who go into enemy territory on the Sun Morning news shows and are severly wounded by listening to Madow, Krugman, Kerry, Greenspan etc!
I have been dealt severe, almost fatal , emotional damage by listening to them this morning...it is now extending to physical damages (ie, unable to move, neck spasms, vomitting).
I suggest:
” THE FREEEPR MEDAL OF COURAGE FOR REPORTING FROM BEHIND ENEMY LINES “
"The truly fundamental question that is at the heart of the disaster toward which we are racing is being debated only in America: is it possible for a free market economy to support a democratic socialist society? On this side of the Atlantic, the model of a national welfare system with comprehensive entitlements, which is paid for by the wealth created through capitalist endeavour, has been accepted (even by parties of the centre-Right) as the essence of post-war political enlightenment.
This was the heaven on earth for which liberal democracy had been striving: a system of wealth redistribution that was merciful but not Marxist, and a guarantee of lifelong economic and social security for everyone that did not involve totalitarian government. This was the ideal the European Union was designed to entrench. It was the dream of Blairism, which adopted it as a replacement for the state socialism of Old Labour. And it is the aspiration of President Obama and his liberal Democrats, who want the United States to become a European-style social democracy.
But the US has a very different historical experience from European countries, with their accretions of national remorse and class guilt: it has a far stronger and more resilient belief in the moral value of liberty and the dangers of state power. This is a political as much as an economic crisis, but not for the reasons that Mr Obama believes. The ruckus that nearly paralysed the US economy last week, and led to the loss of its AAA rating from Standard & Poor’s, arose from a confrontation over the most basic principles of American life.
We have arrived at the endgame of what was an untenable doctrine: to pay for the kind of entitlements that populations have been led to expect by their politicians, the wealth-creating sector has to be taxed to a degree that makes it almost impossible for it to create the wealth that is needed to pay for the entitlements that populations have been led to expect, etc, etc. A general correction of the imbalance between wealth production and wealth redistribution is now a matter of basic necessity, not ideological preference.
The hardest obstacle to overcome will be the idea that anyone who challenges the prevailing consensus of the past 50 years is irrational and irresponsible. That is what is being said about the Tea Partiers. In fact, what is irrational and irresponsible is the assumption that we can go on as we are."
