Republicans Claim Credit...
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/01/republicans-job-growth-the-result-of-gop-victories.php">Republicans: Job, Economic Growth The Result Of GOP Victories (VIDEO)

Right...they haven't passed a single piece of legislation, matter of fact they haven't even proposed a single piece of legislation, but this doesn't stop them from taking credit does it.

In fact, it was only months ago they were running on a political platform of Obama's failed economic policies. The same policies that are invigorating the economy today.

But the thing that should really boggle your mind is that their base believes the republican whack jobs...

7. Yes, it points toward winning elections no matter what the cost.
Their moral compass sucks....


It's their "golden" compass, it points in one direction, what they have to do to win elections. All else is just fodder...

3. remember, they never took the credit for the crashing of the stock market
right after the SCOTUS deemed George W. Bush the "victor" in the 2000 "selection" ... right after all the braying about how Gore was "crashing" the stock market every time he said "Count the votes!"

8. And they never will.
The republicans have a long history of pushing failed policies and then when they turn into disasters, blaming the democrats.

11. Why?
But will try to be civil.


Aren't you tired of the same old same old? The republicans lie their way to power and as soon as they get in they start whining about everyone being civil. The republicans showed NOT ONE SPECK OF COOPERATION but as soon as they won the House they wanted everyone to cooperate with them.

You watch, when the last congressional session ended the republicans had managed to block over 425 pieces of legislation in the Senate. Bills that never saw the light of day, let alone an "up and down" vote. But can you guess what will happen when the Senate doesn't take up their repeal of the health care bill?

Don't be misled, there is nothing wrong with treating assclowns republicans like assclowns. It's what they are...

16. Doesn't that scare you?
That there are voters who believe anything if you tell them something three times?

Let's try an experiment.

Reagan won the cold war. Reagan won the cold war. Reagan won the cold war.

Now ask a republican if Reagan won the cold war. Then ask him how. Do you know what they will say? Reagan won the cold war by out spending the USSR. So Reagan's massive deficits won the cold war. Wait, didn't the republicans blame Reagan's deficits on the democrats? So it was really the democrats deficits that won the cold war.

These aren't even good lies...there the kind of lies children tell their parents when they are caught red handed with their paws in the cookie jar.

26. It's Time We Stop Calling Them The MEDIA!
They are not the media. They are the propaganda arm of the republican party.

How about PARPY?

28. Even I have to admit...
The republicans treat anyone with an IQ over 100 as irrelevant...it's a numbers game. There are simply more people who vote with IQs below 100. Corner the stupid vote and you win elections...that's the republican secret.

24. Classic
The reason the democrats won back the congress in 2006 is because the country was already going to hell in a hand basket.

The Bush Jr administration tried its best to hide this with accounting tricks like "off budget" deficits and taking "long term unemployment" out of the employment numbers. And there in lies the rub. Anyone with a brain knows this...but the problem is those who vote blindly for republicans can hardly be seen as having a functioning brain.

Let's compare the intelligence of Reagan, Bush Jr and Palin with men like Carter, Clinton and Obama. The democrats have an easy 35 point IQ spread over the republicans. And how about Boner the epitome of a suit, a haircut and a tan...if he had tits he'd be the number one choice for a republican president.

25. When republicans fail...
They always blame the democrats. Which is why they spend all their time blaming the democrats.

Just ask a right winger to name a single policy of Bush Jr that DID NOT fail? Just one!

Economy?

Education?

Foreign affairs?

Domestic agenda?

You name the policy and it failed...

Which is why the republicans spend all their time blaming the democrats. But don't worry, republicans also like to take credit for what the democrats accomplish. If you watch the talk shows the republicans are busy taking credit for the economy...as if they had anything at all to do with its recovery.
