Paul Ryan is a farking assclown.

That's hardly a new plan from the GOP.

It's only treason if the dems do it, right?

That's been their plan for a long time. Remember Christie Whitman as head of the EPA?

Obvious tag taking a three day weekend?

This has been the GOP's plan since 1980. Ronald Reagan was the first president ever re-elected on a platform of trying to destroy the federal government.

the GOP was planning that on the night of obama's inauguration. this is not an old plan. their motto is "Party Before Country."

New? *cough Medicare Part-D cough*

"New" plan as of 11-2008.
Hardly counts as new.

"I'm not in favor of abolishing the government. I just want to shrink it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."
-- Grover Norquist

So that explains why Obama is a failure. I was wondering what went wrong.

obviously, the solution is more tax cuts for the rich.

RexTalionis: "I'm not in favor of abolishing the government. I just want to shrink it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." Then we'll get overrun by the goddamn Chinese.

-- Grover Norquist

Fixed that for Grover.

SkinnyHead: So that explains why Obama is a failure. I was wondering what went wrong.

oh you!

SkinnyHead: So that explains why Obama is a failure. I was wondering what went wrong.

actually, Obama has done fairly well, considering the fact that the GOP has been out to destroy him since day one. that he's managed to get anything done at all under those circumstances is amazing.

FTFA: No matter how much House Republicans claim to revere the autonomously acting free market, when push comes to shove, if the alternative is widespread economic collapse, Wall Street will get its bailout.

Profits will be privatized, Losses will be publicly reimbursed. That's '[Corporate] Socialism American Style.'

And it's all thanks to George W. Bush. it took a right wing religious conservative Republican to make America into a socialist country.

this is literally true

indeed. it's not like the GOP has bothered to hide their agenda. they've been open about the plan to sacrifice this country in order to end Obama's administration.

it's weird to see a GOP Congressman give a speech about 'national security' and 'keeping america strong' when at the same time they've planned on gutting the country in order to advance their short term political agenda. And the lies they tell themselves to justify those beliefs....*shudder*

FlashHarry: Weaver95: considering the fact that the GOP has been out to destroy him since day one.

You mean the opposition party opposed him. That was mean of them.

not merely 'opposed' but dedicated themselves to Obama's destruction. this goes way beyond 'opposition party'...the GOP has been willing to sacrifice the country in order to defeat Obama. I've had the very distinct impression that the GOP would really like it if a very large terrorist attack would hit the US on Obama's watch.

SkinnyHead: That was mean of them.

When in order to fulfill their plans for opposition they must necessarily hurt the country and its people? Worse than mean. Reckless and unforgivable.

Defeat him at the polls. Where you're supposed to.

But Its For The Greater Good! (the rallying cry of Lawful Evil societies everywhere).

Arguing with SkinnyHead is like arguing with SkinnyHead.

Weaver95: The Greater Good!

We have to say what we feel: that government, no matter what its failures in the past and in times to come for that matter, government can be a place where people come together and where no one gets left behind. No one gets left behind. An instrument of good.

Granted, you're a lousy troll, but in case anyone really wonders about the virtue of this argument:

There's a difference between being an enemy of the President, and being the loyal opposition.

The current GOP is *not* filling the latter role.

Wasn't that the Founding Fathers' whole 'checks and balances' thing? Design a government that trips all over itself and stays out of the way while we loot the continent?

Diogenes: SkinnyHead: That was mean of them.

Defeat him at the polls. Where you're supposed to.

They did defeat him at the polls. Remember 2010? Obama took office vowing to "fundamentally change America," and he had majorities in both houses to do it. The voters elected a GOP majority in the house in 2010 to stop Obama, because they did not like the way he was trying to "fundamentally change America."

If your failed quarterback can't move the ball, you don't blame the opposing team's defense and crybaby about how mean they are when they sack your quarterback, do you? You get a new quarterback.

It's not football you farking moron. When the stadium is burning down and people are jumping out of the nose bleeds to escape, that's not the time to sack the quarterback.

or you don't cheer when your team's linemen refuse to block for the quarterback because they want him to be injured so one of them can become quarterback.

ostensibly, the american government is all on the same team with the goal of bettering the country. viewing it any other way is a big part of the problem.

Weaver95: we gotta try to keep our heads until this peace craze blows over!

That's a great scene, isn't it? "It's a hardball world, son."

we have to have these cuts because of democrat-instituted ponzi schemes like social security and medicare that drain all of the tax income the government takes in. you want to sabotage our government, create a new ponzi scheme like obamacare that will bury our government in a massive debt hole.

Especially when one team has blocked all the fire exits and started the fire to try to blame the opposing team's quarterback.

"New?"

I can't stand it, I know you planned it
But I'm gonna set it straight this watergate
But I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place
Because I feel disgrace because you're all in my face
But make no mistakes and switch up my channel
I'm buddy rich when I fly off the handle
What could it be, it's a mirage
You're scheming on a thing - that's sabotage

If the American people decided on giving Obama and the Democrats such numbers in Congress as well as the Presidency, why didn't the Republicans respect the will of the people and work with Democrats instead of fundamentally opposing them at every step? Why do Republicans hate the American people?

Wowwwwwwwww that's so wrong

kronicfeld: That's hardly a new plan from the GOP.

They do seem to be getting less subtle about it. It's like they've shifted from treating a patient with leeches to using random amputations and organ removal.

Car_Ramrod: If the American people decided on giving Obama and the Democrats such numbers in Congress as well as the Presidency, why didn't the Republicans respect the will of the people and work with Democrats instead of fundamentally opposing them at every step? Why do Republicans hate the American people?

Because Obama was trying to fundamentally change America in a way that was not only bad for America, but in a way that the American People didn't want. GOP knew that, and that's why they won in 2010. So how come Obama and Democrats won't respect the will of the people and work with the House of Representatives instead of fundamentally opposing them at every step?

SkinnyHead: So how come Obama and Democrats won't respect the will of the people

Finally, we agree on something. Gay marriage should be legal. So say the people!

You're a sad broken little toy, you.

Two unnecessary wars were the will of the people?

Tax cuts for the 1% were the will of the people?

Constant rights violations against women are the will of the people?

Constant rights violations against gays minding their own farking business are the will of the people?

Idiot.......the will of the people will be shown in November, don't worry. Now please, grab your walker and walk back to the nursing home, Grandpa. You're overdue for your Alzheimer's meds.

Wow, another liberal hack writes a craptacular hit piece on the Republicans that gets posted to an online rag. Well, that does it for me. I'm voting for Obama.

The Dems only had control of the House and Senate for 2 years of this administration. I can see why it's the Republicans fault.
