    he didn't pay his mortgage for five months.

    why don't these teabaggers believe in personal responsibility?
    Oh, so the truth comes out. He is co-owner and it isn't his primary home, likely an investment he's just dropping. Try again. This is as laughable as the libbies attacking the LA judge for his oil investments -- ya, a whopping $15,000 worth in 2008. Funny, they don't mention what else was in his portfolio.
    Can you recount again the cheat story about Charlie Rangel, just for comparison like?

    These people (GOP) are something, they do not even want to discuss their campaign proposals in depth,..because the media might pick it apart.

    BENNETT: Is it enough for Republicans to say we are opposed to what [Obama's] doing — stimulus, health care, we don’t like what he’s doing with the government, and look at the job situation — or do we need to have meat on the bones? And say, this is what we are for? Do we have to have positive proposals? [...]

    KING: So, It’s a combination of being against what Obama is for, and also giving certain specifics of what we are for. Having said that, I don’t think we have to lay out a complete agenda, from top to bottom, because then we would have the national mainstream media jumping on every point trying to make that a campaign issue.

    Remember their (GOP) Health Care Plan:

    He has a mortgage, a financial obligation, but since it isn't his primary home it is ok for him to default to the bank..................................Do you think cheating is bigger than walking away from a debt?

    Grayson is brain dead and a socialist. The GOP wants to pass the bill IF the money is paid from the unused Stimulus funds, not more borrowing from the Chinese. Get it?
    There are jobs out there and many refuse to take them because they get as much from govt bennies. Why work? That is pride? No, it's dependency and that's what the libbies want. Grayson talks about hope. Great, well, if his granpa was a lazy fek without hope, he wouldn't have been in the dump looking for goods to salvage. And don't give me that old sob story anyway -- my family went thru it as well and they'd be sweeping streets or doing any menial job for their pride, even if welfare was available. Grayson is talking to an empty Chamber there anyway. That's apropos. Just a windbag.

    ^Let’s see,...... 10,450 hits on youtube in less than 22 hours it’s been up there. I don’t think Grayson was trying to reach the people inside of that chamber.

    Another GOP now and in the future:

    “I know what [Republicans] are thinking: ‘Why don’t they just sell some stock? If they’re in really dire straits, maybe they could take some of their art collection and send it off to the auctioneer. And if they’re in deep, deep trouble, maybe the unemployed can sell one of their yachts.’ That’s what the Republicans are thinking,” Grayson said.

    That prompted Dan Gainor, vice president of the conservative Media Research Center, to tweet, “I’ll give $100 to first Rep. who punches smary [sic] idiot Alan Grayson in nose. He’s a caricature of a congressman.

    Which, in turn, prompted Grayson’s office to accuse the Republican establishment of encouraging violence against him. The liberal Media Matters for America spread Gainor’s tweet around. Gainor later tweeted that he was joking.

    ^ Probably a ton of GOPers copying the youtube site to copy it to their blogs for a laugh, coz that's what grayson is. I copied it to post on my mil site. They LTAO.

    grayson is a whiner. Another big spender of OP's money and a suck-up to minorities. He'd cry if someone posted a cartoon of a GOPer eating his obama-flavoured ice cream.

    You should think about checking facts before engaging your typing finger. Alan Grayson is the epitome' of a self made man-

    Grayson was born in the Bronx, New York. He graduated from Bronx High School of Science and worked his way through Harvard University as a janitor and nightwatchman graduating summa cum laude in three years. He was also a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He returned to Harvard for graduate studies. Within four years, he earned a law degree with honors from Harvard Law School, a masters in public policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government and completed the course work and passed the general exams for a Ph.D. in government.

    Here's clip of a Republican running for Governor of Tennessee. I wonder if he's the type of person the rightwingers want in office. He says he's 'the Republican candidate for governor' He's certainly your average joe.

    It is genuinely an interesting question how the Republican party will evolve in the future, and very topical given the various factions that have either lead it to where it is, or are squabbling over how it should become now- such as the Religious Right, the neo-Con's, and the Tea Party.

    The Republican Party used to stand for something very different to what it does now. Ideologically, what lead it astray? Well, that is the stuff of one big fat serious book- but at the heart of things, I would say a combination of self interested Rich people, and over reliance on Monetarist economics kicked it off. Followed (and exacerbated) by some populist pandering to the Religious Right- the electoral success of this lead to a general GOP embrace of populism. It is a book that deserves writing, and that I hope is written. David Stockman is well qualified to write such a book, but for now we will have to content ourselves with this good article:-


    "....unseemly for the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell, to insist that the nation’s wealthiest taxpayers be spared even a three-percentage-point rate increase.

    More fundamentally, Mr. McConnell’s stand puts the lie to the Republican pretense that its new monetarist and supply-side doctrines are rooted in its traditional financial philosophy. Republicans used to believe that prosperity depended upon the regular balancing of accounts — in government, in international trade, on the ledgers of central banks and in the financial affairs of private households and businesses, too. But the new catechism, as practiced by Republican policymakers for decades now, has amounted to little more than money printing and deficit finance — vulgar Keynesianism robed in the ideological vestments of the prosperous classes.

    This approach has not simply made a mockery of traditional party ideals. It has also led to the serial financial bubbles and Wall Street depredations that have crippled our economy. More specifically, the new policy doctrines have caused four great deformations of the national economy, and modern Republicans have turned a blind eye to each one...


    The first of these started when the Nixon administration defaulted on American obligations under the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement to balance our accounts with the world....

    The second unhappy change in the American economy has been the extraordinary growth of our public debt.... This debt explosion has resulted not from big spending by the Democrats, but instead the Republican Party’s embrace, about three decades ago, of the insidious doctrine that deficits don’t matter if they result from tax cuts...

    The third ominous change in the American economy has been the vast, unproductive expansion of our financial sector...

    The fourth destructive change has been the hollowing out of the larger American economy. Having lived beyond our means for decades by borrowing heavily from abroad, we have steadily sent jobs and production offshore..."

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/01/op...general&src=me


    A very good article indeed, and well worth reading in full. Whatever you may think of the GOP now, they bear little resemblance to Nixon and before, when they were the small "c" conservative party. David Stockman was a director of the Office of Management and Budget under Reagan.

    Ah, more crippy crap from the quixotic side of the aisle. If you quit posting uber-libbie articles from the NYT and huffer, I'd read this crap.
    Paul Ryan has created a bill for the economy -- oh, has the libbie party made a budget yet? Can he get help for that? It's so political -- no libbie wants to vote against bambutt, pelosi or reid even tho those three have thrown them under the bus and the town halls this month are gonna get really heated, if the libbies even bother to show up.

    H'mm? Stockman was a Republican, and a strong Supply side economist. Later, he was a founding partner of Blackstone Group. Highly successful.

    He was a great believer in tax cuts. Here, don't take my word for it-
    Stockman emerged as one of the most powerful and controversial OMB directors ever during a tenure that lasted until his resignation in August 1985. Committed to the doctrine of supply-side economics, Stockman took the lead in directing passage of the "Reagan Budget" (the Gramm-Latta Budget), which Stockman hoped to be a serious curtailment of the "welfare state", gaining a reputation as a tough negotiator with House Speaker Tip O'Neill's Democratic-controlled House of Representatives and Majority Leader Howard Baker's Republican-controlled Senate.
    David Stockman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    He ultimately broke with the Reagan adminstration because, having delivered their desired tax cuts, the Republicans refused, or proved unable, to cut government spending. Like yourself, he was a big enemy of the 'welfare state'. So, under Reagan, the federal debt ballooned from $1 trillion to $2.7 trillion. The rest is history.

    How old are you? Do you not remember this guy? Some 'crippy crap'.

    Here's another one of America's most famous Republicans at the moment.




    Personally, I would like to see this guy get in charge just to see what happens. He should at least get his own reality TV show out of this, something like 'Life with Basil'

    He sure is an interesting character. I like him more than the guy in South Carolina. At least Basil has something to say. I wonder if there is some group out there supporting guys like this behind the scenes just to ridicule those who are full of themselves in government.

    Stoking fear,….wining the hearts and minds of young (McDonalds) voters. Way to go GOP supporters. Hopefully these people will be prosecuted.

    All three of the guys listed (Ohio candidates for Gov., Sen. and House Rep. in district 16) in the paper below support rolling back minimum wage.

    From the link: Here’s a truly horrific story that shows the state the United States of Corptocracy circa 2010. A McDonald’s franchise in Ohio sent a note in the paychecks of their workers urging them to vote for Republicans in next Tuesday’s elections. And they implicitly threatened to stop all wage and benefit increases if those Republicans do not win, essentially tying the future economic fortunes of their employees to their vote.

    This violates Ohio law in addition to federal election laws, and the lawyer is suing.

    Van Hollen is done - toast...

    Congratulations Congressman Van Hollen on a job well done!

    Don’t think of it as a shellacking. Think of it as a complete obliteration of a generation of democratic “progress.”



    The Hill reported: Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.) said he’s finished at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) after two terms as its chairman.
    Days after Republicans won dozens of Democratic seats in a wave election that handed control of the House to the GOP, Van Hollen said he wasn’t interested in serving another two years as the leader of House Democrats’ campaign efforts.
    “When it comes to the DCCC chairmanship, I believe in term limits,” Van Hollen told liberal radio host Bill Press on Friday. “This will be the end.”


    Another one bites the dust...
