House two minute morning speeches today--what's with all the Rs

[Skidmore]

getting up and giving little composed lies about how great the economy is? What's up with that? First, it's not true; and second, what purpose does it serve?

[ewagner]

1. I'd check to see

what's on the agenda for today. This is a setup for something else. It always is.

[paineinthearse]

2. The economy is the topic du jour

They're all on script. This is nothing new.

3. CAFTA setup?

just as Kodak announces more job cuts

[SharonAnn]

6. And HP announced big layoffs yesterday of "well-paying jobs"

that require education and technical skills.

[fasttense]

4. Just following the Hitler lead.

If you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it.

[kentuck]

5. Price of gasoline, huge deficits, election coming up ??

That's what they are thinking about.

[snippy]

7. There is a GOP office which writes almost all of the morning speeches

for House republicans to give. I believe Gingrich started it and it now is run by other House leaders. I have no idea why they chose this topic for today.

8. Just because the big corps were heavy in tax receipts

doesn't mean the rest of us were. Big corp profits mean big back-pocket money.
