White House adviser blames tea party for downgrade (Axelrod)

There is an assault on the working middle class(Tea Party) by the left, Democrats, rinos, and the Washingtion elite(including the likes of Bill O’Rielly and Laura Ingram). They demagogue a group of citizens that have had nothing to do with this financial disaster that is ruining this country. The Tea Party’s only ‘crime’ is offering concrete realistic solutions in getting the U.S. out of this crisis.

This is an all out war for our country. Help educate the public and recruit as many to our cause as possible.

You are sooooo right! What the hell is up with Laura Ingram? I use to like her, no more! She is with the enemy. The Left and the Rinos are this countries enemies.

Remember when OBOZO said “we have to ride in the back?” Well, the treasonous Rinos were riding in the backseat in OBOZO’s car. Then the idiot in chief, stomped on the gas pedal exceeding the speed limit by at least 30 miles... T

The TEA PARTY people were standing on the side of the road YELLING, please stop at least slow down you are going to crash!!

Then OBOZO and the Rinos CRASHED the car. They stumble out and point to the TEA PARTY people and cast the blame on them.

What a SICK world we truly live in!

[P.O.E.]

never accept blame

I noticed Obama blamed the bad economy on troubles in Europe, the Japanese earthquake, and the "Arab spring". Now it's the Tea Party.

When he gets around to blaming Antarctica, we'll know he's run out of ideas.

[P.O.E.]

BTTT

Why blame someone when S&P made a mistake?

[Vaquero]

zer0 p!sses away trillions and it is our fault for the US credit score:

[mojito]

Actually Dave, it turns out that S&P just happened to agree with the Tea Party stance on the debt ceiling deal.

Namely, that “savings” on projected spending is a joke, and that real spending cuts totaling some measly $3 billion is laughable when you're supposed to be tackling an annual deficit of $1.5 trillion.

So, if you want to shoot the messenger Dave, go right ahead, but it's your boss, his failed policies, and his party that are responsible.

Let's playyyyyyyyy.....Spot The Madman!

[Keflavik76]

After looking at the comments on yahoo AP it looks like most people are ready to march on Washington with pitch fork and tar to get the big spenders out.

[DrDude]

You have it “spot on”. Panic is the game. They called out their best to spin but it will not work now. Alexlrod, Carney, Pannetta, Gibbsy, Rahm, Kerry, Reid, Pelosi, & the MSM can find anything new. They are cooked and know they will not get to the last of the money Obama stole for them.
The Obama freeloaders are always going to stay with him but everyone else has fully realized this is a joke. Hopefully he qill resign before he is thrown out.

Who wants to be the party to tell the American voter that the problem with the conservative side is that they won’t raise taxes?

I think you're right. I think if the dems start blaming the Tea Party for not wanting to raise taxes and wanting fiscal responsibility, then bring it on!

[Eleutheria5]

“Everything was going just fine, ‘til those citizens started participating in the public debate and ruined it all! Boooohoooohoooohoooo!”

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry, too, if it happened to yooooooo!

[Marine_Uncle]

And the game play goes on as usual.

[GenXteacher]

Sorry, Axelrod, the Tea Party isn’t stupid enough to borrow that much money....

[soycd]

As lame, ignorant and worthy of a slap upside the head such a statement is, they know a whole lot of Americans voting stupidly
will buy it. The disgusting condition of politics and attitude in the US today is enough to make one a Hermite.

[Wuli]

Axlerod is a mental midget.

U.S. debt is now greater than U.S. GDP and Axlerod accepts the myth that either more money should be sucked out of this economy and funneled to Washington D.C., or that our debt should be greatly more than it is, and then the S&P analyst would bless U.S. debt again. Right?

The opposite is true.

We are spending more than we have to spend, many times over, and neither borrowing more nor spending more will make U.S. “sovereign debt” look better.

Alerod is a hoax.

[kara2008]

The ignorant, brain-dead, brain-washed, MSM Sheeple are buying this B.S. hook line and sinker. It's pathetic.

I just clicked on a link on Drudge to an ABC article about the downgrade. I made the mistake of reading the first few comments.

Here's the first one. It's SO outrageous that FOOLS are parroting this propaganda!

The tea party wanted the down grade, they are ecstatic the uber wealthy are going to rack up trillions more by which the middle class will be paying in the form of higher interest rates. They stuck it to us. Return a little power to the republicans and we get a down grade.

HOW can people be SO dreadfully misinformed? Useful idiots indeed!

[KeyLargo]

US credit rating now as good as Belgium's

[savedbygrace]

Axelrod is mirroring his old boss, the Zero himself:

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

[RockinRight]

Are you effing stupid, Axelrod? Cut, Cap, and Balance was the only plan the ratings agencies even hinted could have MAYBE prevented a downgrade. Last time I checked, YOUR uncompromising d-bags in the Democratic Party wouldn’t even vote on it.

[Anti-Bubba182]

We better crank up our spin machine because this LIE is coming hot and heavy. Remember how Democrats were able to spin against the GOP Congress in 95/96 during the government shutdown which was a revolt against fiscal irresponsibility.

We have to win the spin war.
