Thanks Brown Deer.
Defending Daniels is like Republicans in Maryland cheering for their former Republican governor (Erhlich) Compared to the liberal state he was in he was great...BUT he still was a “fiscal conservative” rino that had no future at the national level. Like Christie in NJ and Brown in MA- all great when compared to whats there but would not support them for national office.
As for the speech-It was awful! Here it is broken down:
“The status of ‘loyal opposition’ imposes on those out of power some serious responsibilities: to show respect for the Presidency and its occupant,
DON’T CALL HIM A SOCIALIST YOU TEA PARTY EXTREMIST!
to express agreement where it exists.
OBAMA ISN’T ALL BAD
Republicans tonight salute our President
SECOND SENTENCE OF THE SO CALLED REBUTTAL AND HERE I AM SALUTING OBAMA!
I personally would add to that list admiration for the strong family commitment that he and the First Lady have displayed to a nation sorely needing such examples.
NICE SHOT AT NEWT FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT
The President did not cause the economic and fiscal crises that continue in America tonight.
HE WAS IN THE MAJORITY IN THE SENATE AT THE TIME, AND HIS ALLIES IN THE HOUSE HAD JUST TAKEN OVER WHEN THE SHIITE HIT THE FAN. SHIITE CAUSED BY COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS AND LIBERALS FORCING BANKS TO MAKE LOANS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT PAY THEM BACK
nearly half of all persons under 30, did not go to work today.
CONSIDERING 1/2 OF ALL PEOPLE UNDER 30 ARE BETWEEN 1-15 YEARS OLD.....
“In three short years, an unprecedented explosion of spending, with borrowed money, has added trillions to an already unaffordable national debt.
NO MENTION OF HOW THE EXPLOSION STARTED IN JAN 2007 WHEN THE DEMOCRATS TOOK BACK CONGRESS
“As Republicans our first concern is for those waiting tonight to begin or resume the climb up life’s ladder. We do not accept that ours will ever be a nation of haves and have nots; we must always be a nation of haves and soon to haves.
AS REPUBLICANS, OUR FIRST CONCERN IS TO PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE-OBAMA IS GUTTING OUR MILITARY.
“In our economic stagnation and indebtedness, we are only a short distance behind Greece, Spain, and other European countries now facing economic catastrophe.
AND OTHER “SOCIALIST” COUNTRIES
But ours is a fortunate land. Because the world uses our dollar for trade...
INDIA IS NOW PAYING FOR OIL WITH GOLD AND OTHER NATIONS ARE ABOUT TO AS WELL. QE2 IS ABOUT TO COME HOME TO ROOST.
“So 2012 is a year of true opportunity, maybe our last, to restore an America of hope and upward mobility, and greater equality.
YES, EQUALITY! THATS WHAT A CONSERVATIVES NEED TO WORRY ABOUT /S
The challenges aren’t matters of ideology, or party preference;
BS
“The routes back to an America of
“That means a dramatically simpler tax system of fewer loopholes and lower rates.
WE”RE COMING FOR THAT HOME MORTGAGE DEDUCTION BARABARA!
“There is a second item on our national must-do list: we must unite to save the safety net.
#1 EQUALITY
#2 SAFETY NET
IS THIS THE GOP PLATFORM OF THE DNC’s?
Medicare and Social Security have served us well
AS HAS THE POST OFFICE, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND INNER CITY MAYORS
“Decades ago, for instance, we could afford to send millionaires pension checks and pay medical bills for even the wealthiest among us. Now, we can’t, so the dollars we have should be devoted to those who need them most.
WE LIED. THAT MONEY WE TOLD YOU YEARS AGO THAT WAS GOING TO YOUR GOVERNMENT RETIREMENT ACCOUNT WAS REALLY JUST AN ADDITIONAL TAX SO WE CAN GIVE YOUR MONEY TO OTHERS
stop sending the wealthy benefits they do not need, and stop providing them so many tax preferences that distort our economy and do little or nothing to foster growth.
IS THIS THE REPUBLICAN RESPONSE OR THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH?
“It’s not fair and it’s not true for the President to attack Republicans in Congress as obstacles on these questions. They and they alone have passed bills to reduce borrowing, reform entitlements, and encourage new job creation, only to be shot down time and time again by the President and his Democratic Senate allies.
NO MENTION, AGAIN, OF THE DEMOCRAT CAPTURE OF THE HOUSE IN THE 2006 ELECTIONS. “FANNY AND FREDDY ARE NOT IN TROUBLE!”-BARNEY FRANK
“This year, it falls to Republicans to level with our fellow citizens about this reality: if we fail to act to grow the private sector and save the safety net, nothing else will matter much.
SAVE THE SAFETY NET! CHARGE!
“No feature of the Obama Presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others.
LIKE DANIELS IS DOING WITH THE WEALTHY ABOVE
As in previous moments of national danger, we Americans are all in the same boat. If we drift, quarreling and paralyzed, over a Niagara of debt, we will all suffer, regardless of income, race, gender, or other category.
I’D LIKE TO SAY SEXUAL PREFERENCE BUT THIS CODE WORD WILL DO
If we fail to shift to a pro-jobs, pro-growth economic policy, there will never be enough public revenue to pay for our safety net, national security, or whatever size government we decide to have.
THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT HAS DECLARED SAVING THE SAFETY NET (FEDERAL FREE MONEY PROGRAMS) IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN NATIONAL SECURITY. HOPEFULLY THIS IDIOT WILL BE KEPT OFF THE SUPER COMMITTEE WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT SHOULD BE CUT.
We will speak the language of unity.
SHUT UP YOU TEA PARTY EXTREMISTS!
Let us rebuild our finances, and the safety net, and reopen the door to the stairway upward; any other disagreements we may have can wait.
LET THE ILLEGALS INVADE, SCREW NATIONAL SECURITY, SCREW THE UNBORN, LET THE HOMOSEXUALS MARRY....BUT SAVE THE FREE MONEY PROGRAMS!
“In word and deed, the President and his allies tell us that we just cannot handle ourselves in this complex, perilous world without their benevolent protection. Left to ourselves, we might pick the wrong health insurance, the wrong mortgage, the wrong school for our kids; why, unless they stop us, we might pick the wrong light bulb!
JUST LIKE THE REPUBLICANS WHO CAVED ON THAT BILL IN EXCHANGE FOR A PROMISE TO TEMPORARILY NOT ENFORCE THE NEW LIGHT BULB BAN, DANIELS SEEMS TO THINK THIS LITTLE BONE WILL WIN HIM POINTS. “OH, HE IS SUCH A CONSERVATIVE! IM SO GLAD THE GOP WILL STAND UP FOR MY LIGHT BULB CHOICES!”
“A second view, which I admit some Republicans also seem to hold, is that we Americans are no longer up to the job of self-government.
I ADMIT, AGAIN, THAT WE SUCK
We can’t do the simple math that proves the unaffordability of today’s safety net programs
BUT SAVING THEM IS MY #1 PRIORITY!
We will allow ourselves to be pitted one against the other, blaming our neighbor for troubles worldwide trends or our own government has caused.
WE ARE SO WRONG TO BLAME THE LEFT
“2012 must be the year we prove the doubters wrong. The year we strike out boldly not merely to avert national bankruptcy but to say to a new generation that America is still the world’s premier land of opportunity.
OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND USE OUR “FREE MONEY” SAFETY NET THAT IS MY #1 PRIORITY
Republicans will speak for those who believe in the dignity and capacity of the individual citizen
BUT 2 DAYS AFTER THE 150,000+ MARCH FOR LIFE IN DC I WON’T EVEN USE A CODE WORD FOR THE UNBORN (LIKE I DID FOR HOMOSEXUALS)
to lay before them a specific, credible program of change big enough to meet the emergency we are facing.
THE EMERGENCY OF SAVING THE FREE MONEY SAFETY NET
“We will advance our positive suggestions with confidence,
CODE FOR: SHUT UP TEA PARTY
There is nothing wrong with the state of our Union that the American people, addressed as free-born...
IF TAX PAYER FUNDED PLANNED PARENTHOOD DOESN’T KILL THEM FIRST
