It is scary to think how close we came to having this raging imbecile as president. So the people preaching fiscal sanity in a sea of fiscal derangement are to blame for the S&P's downgrade over the US debt load?? LMAO! That's like blaming the American Cancer Society for your catching lung cancer.
John Skerry is a nasty, bald-faced liar, that’s all there is to it. I absolutely cannot stand him.
Civil War is just inevitable.
The TP is the single greatest threat to the DNC’s ability to buy votes.
So we are their number one target.
How may TP members are there in Congress?
80?
40?
10?
1?
Like a two pack a day smoker blaming the American Cancer Society for catching lung cancer. :)
Probably with the GOP leadership's full consent.
Guess they figure “Bush’s fault!” has lost some of its impact.
1. The S&P downgraded us to AA+ from AAA due to the fact that the government borrows to much and adds to the debt and spends to much.
2. The Tea Party wants to spend less and borrow less.
3. Therefor it is the Tea Party's fault for the downgrade????????????????????
Of course, John Kerry also 'believes' that Richard Nixon sent him in to Cambodia in December of 1968 -- a full month before Mr. Nixon took the oath of office as the country's CIC.
Blame. Blame. This is all these idiots can do.
Obama's base of support is made up of minorities. If you assemble every black person, every left wing ideologue, every college student, every union loyal teacher or member of a union and, counting the various overlaps, sorted them out they would amount to no more than 30 to 40% of the voting public. The rest are either sympathetic toward or already part of the "Tea Party".
Knowing that, the only thing the opposition can do is whine, threaten, and eventually resort to outright violence. That is already happening and will crescendo as we approach the 2012 election. But even as they do so they will just push more people to the Tea Party side.
Boehner said he got 98% of what he wanted. The Tea Party can’t escape taking a victory lap.
I don't know - maybe if he'd been president he would've done less harm that the raging imbecile we're currently stuck with. We could be in the middle of a recovery right now...
From Para-Ord.45, yesterday comes this quote, which needs to be stated often!
-S&P exec John Chambers,
“But $4 trillion would be a good down payment. We thought that..if policy makers could deliver the goods on that, then that would be a strong sign on our political scores and eventually on our projections on the fiscal side.”
S&P has already said it may slash the Triple-A rating if a debt ceiling deal is not accompanied by what it deems is a credible plan to cut the $14.3 trillion federal [debt] by $4 trillion.
S&P’s Chambers is saying the ratings agency wants to see at least a $4 trillion deal, one that would come with bipartisan support.
There was only ever one plan that did what S&P said was required — $4 trillion in cuts with bipartisan support. That’d be Cut, Cap, and Balance — a plan that cut $4 trillion and got bipartisan support in the House of Representatives.
As Democrats tonight, and some Republicans, lash out and blame the Tea Party for causing the United States to lose its credit rating, it is worth pointing out that only the Tea Party offered up a plan to avoid what happened.-
As another Freeper said today, “Just like fire alarms “cause” fires”
We the People will stomp the Dem votes in the polls next election. Washington Times poll shows 93% are NOT fooled by the lies of Kerry and the other forked tongued insane asylum escapees on the “other side of the aisle”
Can we make him and Obama wear a scarlet “L”?
DEMOCRATS RACE TO SEE WHO CAN COME UP WITH THE MOST UNBELIVABLE LIE. (Al Gore worried that he may lose his title as Dems challenge each other in “Race to the Bottom”)
The House passed Cut, Cap & Balance no small thanks to Tea Party representatives. Senate IGNORED it. Obama IGNORED it. - S&P reps said Cut, Cap & Balance would have avoided this downgrade.
