Yet another talking point of surrender. If elections had consequences then 1994 and 2010 were useless. Didn’t those elections have consequences?
Didn’t Reagan in 1980 and 1984 have them? Or even G.W. Bush in 2004? Not to the left. They attacked, attacked, attacked and attacked.
The wimps of the GOPe just sat around and took it because, let’s be frank (or Barney Franks), they like taking it in the rear.
And this moron Ryan is talking about “saving” 0.02125% of a yearly budget? And “long term” at that?
It’s an insult to call it Mickey Mouse or Bozo. The best description is far left liberal appeasment.
The left, including RINO’s, here in TN have been peddling that for years. Don “The Tax Terrorist” Sundquist (RINO) governor tried that line to unconstitutionally implement a state income tax.
When we rose up and complained that their spending was the problem the called it the “Armageddon Budget” that would wreck havoc on our state. And again, this was a so-called Republican. Then he shut down parks, rest stops, etc. just to tick folks off.
When we rallied around the capital and protested they faked an “attack” from a rock threw a window and called out the brownshirts (not a reference, our state troopers wear them) with GUNS to stand and face us during their last attempt to vote the tax in. They lost.
If I ever became governor of TN I'd make sure every single one of those troopers that followed that order be prosecuted for being a-holes, throw them in prison and ruing their lives.
The statist won't stop. /rant
Just...WOW! What a gutless bunch the GOPe leadership is. I truly believe that the TEA Party should have severed ties at least 2 years ago and gone it alone. We now have Quisling and the Vichy gov. leading the Republican party.
He reminds me of why I regret voting for the lessor of two evils. He also makes me more resolute not to do it again.
Ryan was an advocate for increasing taxes on taxpayers by removing deductions on those who pay income taxes.
I’m not surprised he’s mush and caves to accommadate leftists.
> $62 billion in new spending was offset by $85 billion in long-term cuts.
ROFL!!! Oh, that old gag. That’s a classic!
If you thought the vp choice was bad.. take a look at the top of the ticket!
Btw i expect the same type of loosers at the top next go around to.
““Ryan countered that “elections have consequences,”
This is the new meme being bandied about in the Republican establishment.”
I thought that was the dems’ mantra!
And anyways wasn’t the republican house elected? And why did they feel the need to do anything about the sequester? They could have sat on their hands and we’d be way ahead.
“Ryan explained that parts of the sequester would remain, and pointed out that Democrats had dropped a demand for higher taxes.”
They didn’t drop demands for new taxes - in fact they got them. They just called them “fees”.
How stupid do they think we are? (Don’t answer that).
The GOP isn’t going to cut dime one. Vote them all out. Time for a true second party.
Bump! So true ........
It’s an old story:
The Democrats propose to tear down the Washington Monument, and the Republicans respond with a plan to do it in three stages.
They'll "have more flexibility" then.
Wanted to add this new tagline.
This thread seemed like the appropriate place to do it...
Ryan and Murray; the gang of two. :-)
Think about this for a second. Ryan let Patty Murray beat him. Haaaaaarrrr!
