More conservative non acceptance of responsibility
In the SOUNDOFF section of the Gulfport paper today, a local whines that bush is not a conservative that he spends money like a liberal. The patriot says show me a conservative and by gawd that's who'll get my vote in 2008. Yeah all that liberal control of all branches of government over the past 7 years has just resulted in so much liberal spending.

Gosh wouldn't one feel better if one took responsibility for voting the guy in office and the senators and the congressmen and enabling them to fuck the economy and fuck the military? Oh no, why would I expect a member of the party of responsibility to do that.

Next great right wing talking point? - bush is a liberal.

2. Democrats raise taxes



Here is some cheese to go with their whines!!!


The next talking point is what Rep Shuster R-PA
brought up this week, "Democrats raised your taxes in the first 4days of control"
by reducing subsidies for the big oil companies bill that passed.
Figure that one out....he says that we have raised taxes on the American people
by voting NO to more oil company subsidies and tax breaks.....

3. Classic Republican doublethink
If you cut a subsidy, you're raising taxes because (I guess) more revenue stays in the federal coffers. But if you cut taxes, allegedly leading to greater generation of wealth (supply side or "voodoo" economics) and higher revenues for the government, that's not raising taxes.

Okay, it's nuts. I never claimed it made sense or was consistent or anything like that.
