Many are looking for work, looking for a leader, looking at this administration in growing alarm and fear, waiting for the Tampa convention, waiting for Nov 6th and 2013....
This was when Obama said “I won” and Pelosi said shove it to any counter offer the Republicans had.
I think it's important that now when we're in another election season to remind voters that the entire economic package that's brought bankrupting our country to an all time high was strictly a democratic initiative.
When people go to the polls, I want them to remember this from the article you posted:
Spending ones way out of a recession was not only counterintuitive; it was also harmful for ones descendants, who would foot the bill. Implicit in the critique of bailouts has always been a moral critique of the actions that result in bailouts and the behaviors that are encouraged by them. Intrusive and profligate government doesnt just harm economies and destroy balance sheets; it erodes character. Theres a reason the term for this is moral hazard.
I argued with many a liberal back then that "Too big to fail" was a ridiculous statement and economically, failing was the ONLY real cure. They argued it would harm all those workers of those too big companies and we HAD to do SOMETHING. My point was perpetuating a losing business with free money would only make it a bigger loser. In the end, the failure of such a company would be even more catastrophic than letting it fail now, or the government would just have to own it, and that would be nationalization and THAT had failed--witness the demise of the Soviet Union.
Guess I was right!
Well said.
If the Supreme Court dumps Obamacare, then the Republicans must be ready to dump Obamacare also.
To Replace or modify Obamacare would result in The Republican Party ceasing to represent the 66 % of Americans that for years have opposed Obamacare.
The overwhelming endorsements by the RNC-E of Romney, the Godfather of Obamacare, is a very convincing indication that the RNC will betray the voters and Replace Obamacare.
Replace Obamacare and the voters will replace the Republican Party.
The era of the Big Tent will be over.
THAT is awesome !
May folks borrow it ?
Gentlemen > bumper sticker/poster material !
Wow! Nice! Sweet! Never looked at it that way. It bears repeating. Thanks!!!
The tea party has been criticised by some as a sailing ship without a captain. They don’t understand: the Tea Party is not the ship, it is the wind.
Taxed
Enough
Already
Thanks for the props, wish I could accept but I wasn’t the author.
As you say, it certainly does bear repeating!
I've said it much less ably that it is not the responsibility of the Tea Party to act but to influence. I love your metaphor; it's perfect, and I will use it going forward.
Yes, I just read your other disclaimers. It is not your metaphor - but you found it for me. Thanks!
Awesome graphic, as always!
You are most welcome, FRiend.
FReepers rock!
Great work.
B-U-M-P!
Thanks CW, and nice to “see” you!!
