The republicans never fail to surprise me.

Please, these people 'ruled the world' for the past 8 years, and beyond.

But this budget they put out for the country to see, the second one with numbers and graphs, that is their message? It's being savaged left and right. Nobody in their party saw that coming?

Yes, it's comical, but it's kind of disturbing.


Proof, and there's tons out there:

Paul Ryan's Crazy Budget Graph

1. If you put it in context..

with Bush it kind of makes sense. They don't know how to do 'politics'..they only know how to ramrod their way through. And then of course there's the 'base'. No logic or facts needed.

2. What disturbs me is that, pathetic as they appear.. they STILL

manage to gum up the works against the feckless Democratic leadership in the Senate... And they represent NO ONE but the top 1% of superrich.

3. They are the masters of the sound bite!

Newt taught them well.

It is sorrowfully and mindnumbingly effective. :(

4. Please correct me, but what have they gummed up since

January 20th? Besides lending lip service? Except perhaps their budget? :spray:

I'm more concerned about some Dems, tell the truth. And Al Franken needs to be confirmed. :mad:

5. I'm concerned about some of the Dems too but

the Republicons have been a solid block to opposing any change in policy that might help turn things around. Between them and the Blue Dog's, we are totally screwn.
