Wordsmithing is a tool meant to do serious harm as it is practiced in Washington.

My favorite Democrat lie is the one where they claim they will "ask" the wealthiest Americans to "contribute more" when what they really mean is that they want to confiscate more at the point of a gun.

I always thought it would be fun to see some clever Republican (oxymoron, I know) announce that he agrees with President Ubama that the rich should be "asked" to pay more, and then submit a bill that provides for people to check a box on their IRS form that allows them to volunteer to send extra money to the treasury. Then the simple scum like Buffet and some of those other wealthy big-mouth Ubama supporters could send in as much as they wanted.

“Stop using their language, John.”

YES! Thank you. Also stop saying taxing ‘wealth’, they’re taxing EARNINGS.

I’m not buying this. We’ve seen too many cases where Speaker Tears and the rest of his jello GOP establishment buddies have caved in.

[SCHROLL]

Boehner has blown it big time. He shouldn’t have agreed to a damn thing without an actual budget being passed and signed into law. As Speaker he’s been a complete and utter failure.

Bottom line the Republicans should have persued a strategy of implementing a budget with the elimination of duplicative services and consolidation of departments. Put the Dems on defense for once. While they’re at it make it a point to show how much taxpayer money ends up in Democrat campaign coffers from government employeee unions. Then again hoping for actual leadership from this group of clowns is a pipedream at best.

Maybe Boner is unwilling to raise revenue (TAXES) but Mark Levin was reporting this afternoon that the GOP is all ready to cave on the CR coming up at the end of the month, without even a hint of curtailing funding Obamacare. Each year Obamacare gets it's tentacles further into the nanny state society, the more impossible it will ever be to get rid of, and companies will cease providing health insurance and health insurance companies will go out of business - ALL PART OF THE RAT PLAN.

excerpt from the 'Obama's Single Payer Song and Dance' link below
Back in the dim history of 2003 then Candidate Obama was telling his supporters something else entirely. He did NOT make any of his " no matter what" promises in 2003. Then he said quite clearly that he supported a single payer universal health care program.

"I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that's what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that's what I'd like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we have to take back the White House, we have to take back the Senate, and we have to take back the House."

We are sooo doomed.
