Repubtards still don't get it
 

Pretty irritating to watch John the Situation Boehner and all the rest of the Republican leadership blabbing on and on about how last night's results say that people want 'less government'. No, you idiots. Maybe the New Klan Party says that's what they want, but the independents you won want government that does something. Big, small, medium-sized, get things done.

And you know what doesn't say that you're going to get things done? When your first order of business is ostensibly to dedicate all your resources to undoing something that was passed in the last two years. In what universe are you going to be able to repeal healthcare anyway? Are you going to rewrite the veto out of the Constitution? If any of you blackshirt republicans think the next two years are going to be any better, I've got a gun rack to sell you. We're all on our own.

People want more government? LOL. Maybe college professors and hipsters.

Yes We Can

Not what I said, was it? People hate gridlock, especially in a terrible economy. The republicans are promising nothing but more gridlock.

?

:confused:

The democrats are worse than the republicans. It's o.k. to be scared. All Americans should be.

Great Point! If these idiots like Boner think he's just gonna sit back and let them shoot down all that he's accomplish, despite their TOTAL opposition they are living on another planet!

You're smarter than that. What I said was they care way less about the size of the government than it's efficiency.

Whether they can repeal it in the next 2 years is a different question from whether they can repeal it ever....As for the direction of the country, it is right down the tubes with another jolt of jungle juice coming at 2:15 today when my avatar defaces our currency a little more with his dickheaded QE2 announcement....It will all be over soon.

Uh. Efficiency tends to improve when the size of a government, organizations, etc. are scaled down. And with the track record of our government it's painfully obvious that expansion would only make things worse.

If the White House and Congress don't actually start having dialogue to get things done, they'll all be out in two years, trust me. Inaction is poison to Americans right now, especially with this economy.

:tro::tro:

this election was more of statement against Obama & Pelosi than it was for the republicans.

nobody in their right mind can think the direction of the past 2 year.. 4 year for that matter.. has been a good thing.

repubs need to come through on cutting spending (and yes, joey, the majority of america wants to cut down on spending). they cant just go through the motions if they expect to remain in office.

What are they going to do? Repeal all of the free trade agreements and put the common folk back to work?

The damage has already been done. Obama sat on his hands for 22 months and was more concerned about the banks than the average American.

What is more important? A job or health care for all?

Book smarts but no common sense. That isn't change, it's par for the course for our politicians.

Fair enough, but the message should be that we're going to accomplish specific things within the system as well, not that we're simply going to get rid of sh it and see what happens. There's no plan from republicans, I'd be worried about their 'agenda' if they had one other than riling up racists and being as much of a pain in the ass to Obama as possible.

gridlock is what this country was founded on. it would be stupid if everything had a free pass through congress. the founding fathers created this system to create gridlock.

progressives dont like gridlock because they want an unlimited credit card.

It's pretty funny how you always read things the way you want to read them. No one's talking about free passes. You made that up.

Democrats lost independents and democrats because they feel nothing got accomplished the first two years. This is my point. There's no republican plan for anything. It's essentially 'let's make rich people richer again and stop healthcare.' And the ever ambiguous 'cutting spending.' Often by recommending tax cuts. Which still makes no sense. That's not going to win them anything in 2012, sorry.

pot meet kettle

Sure.

pretty sure jobs and lowering the deficit are the two main things on republicans minds...

but you can read things the way you want to read them of course. i dont agree with anything in your second paragraph. its the liberal equivalent of birther and obama is a muslim speak.

You're so bad at equivalents it's crazy.

What's the republican plan for creating jobs and lowering the deficit? What are they going to do that Obama hasn't done? I'd really like to know.

as soon as you earn over 48k a year you will understand..

democrats lost independants because independants didnt like the direction the dems were taking us on. not that they didnt accomplish enough. they dont even agree with what was accomplished.

dems might have lost other dems because they didnt accomplish enough. but do you really believe a that kind of Dem would vote for a republican? if anything it just made them stay home and not vote.

no, you threw out MSNBC speak that is equally as ridiculous as Fox News speak.

Ahh the republicans hate the middle class! ahh they only care about the rich.

its ridiculous.

The Bush tax cuts that they want to renew didn't benefit rich people disproportionately?

I'm still waiting to hear the Republican economic plan. You must know it.

"The Boehner plan would bring federal spending back to 2008 levels, excluding national-security expenditures and programs for seniors and veterans, such as Social Security. That means some big one-year cuts (about $100 billion worth, according to House Republicans) in an Obama budget proposal that totals $3.8 trillion in spending for 2011.

Potential cuts, according to ideas put forward this year by Republicans within the House Budget Committee, could include canceling stimulus projects for which money hasn't yet been committed, freezing federal salaries temporarily, or hiring only one federal worker for every two who retire."

also you do realize that the rich are the same people who employ us middle class folks? if the govnt takes more of their money to waste it, will those rich people hire more workers?

or do you want all the new jobs to be government jobs?

and you know a lot of republicans are for cutting spending across the board. including military.

It is also important to look out for the future, not just the present. We cant keep borrowing and spending like we are and expect everything to be okay. We shouldnt spend more than we bring in.

Bush started this massive spending spree and Obama is taking it over and increasing it. They are both terrible presidents.

Newt should be the guy for 2012.. and Hillary is the Dems hope. She's actually knowledgable and experienced.

It's been proven over and over that rich people generally hoard money and export jobs no matter what, they don't put the extra money back into the system, but that's another debate.

That plan doesn't tell me how they're going to create jobs. It says they're going to trim 2% of the budget (according to them) and bring spending levels back to 2008 (even though Republicans constantly assert that Bush spent way too heavily too) except for a bunch of other stuff.

It's just red meat for people who hate Obama. That's not a plan for fixing the economy.

I agree with cutting spending & keeping the tax cuts. It will help the private sector get out of this recession more naturally. and nobody should expect things to happen over night.

I do not agree with spending ourselves out of a recession. Dont think it makes much sense.

They need some jobs bills / tax cuts for the small business sector. Let private jobs bring this country back, not government jobs.

:zz: what do you think funds tax cuts?

Now he didn't organize communities but people can relate to this guy.

I think they should tax the **** out of companies who export the jobs over sea's.

the dems tried to do it and the republicans shot it down.

I sure as hell dont think the republicans are perfect. In fact i think they suck. Both parties are out for their own good and not our good.

But I really didnt agree with the direction of the past two years. & the best years of the past 20 were Clinton pres and Newt speaker. Hopefully some of that can rub off on Obama / boehner

The Republicans have blocked numerous jobs bills and small business bills all year.

Obama has said this numerous times, lets see how fast the repubs get it done.

yeah but he tried to fix things overnight with the ridiculous $1 trillion spending bill that he made the mistake of letting Pelosi write.

Remember, if this American Recover Act bill doesnt pass... unemployement will go above 8%!!!

But if it passes everything will be okay!

Dems creating the feeling that it should be fixed over night.

"Bring it on: let’s watch another wave of monetary policy history crash over us as you pull out the hammer and close your lips around another batch of coffin nails – ready to grasp the first nail to drive into the soon sealed coffin of Keynesian economics and then another in the coffin of fractional reserve banking and perhaps another into the coffin of fiat currencies. Oh, it’s all the same coffin? Fine – it will go quicker that way. Just remember to save a few nails for the millions of coffins of pensions and savings: for all of the responsible people who didn’t join in on the credit bonanza of the last few decades and spent their lives scrimping and saving. Let’s devalue their savings and nuke the US currency rather than go the quicker and more just road of default, shall we? Extend and pretend is the Fed’s motto, after all. Just watch out for those new crazies on the Hill that are starting to bang on the doors of the Eccles building. Will they break in and cart you off before you’ve finished your final magnum opus – the end of the US dollar and the US economy? Bring it on, Ben: take us that much nearer to the denouement of 100 years of US Federal Reserve. There won’t be a second hundred years. The final countdown starts now. " Saxo Bank

Increased revenue that tranfers to to more taxes?

The difference between the Democaratic plan and the Republican plan in a nutshell has everything to do with big government in that Dems. want/support government jobs, regulation, and government support for everything from endless unemployment benefits to housing and health care.

The Repubs want government to get out of the way and let the private sector do the hiring and provide benefits whether they be in the form of salary or healthcare etc. You know like it's been for hundreds of years?

The exit polls seem to indicate that most voters want government to spend a lot more money on jobs programs while simultaneously cutting spending and the deficit without raising taxes. In other words, people are stupid and want the impossible.

What's a defecit?
