Ho Sit Down: Republican Nutcase Michele “Crazy Eye” Bachmann Compares President Obama To A Crack Dealer

Michele Bachmann Compares President Obama To A Crack Dealer In response to the much-anticipated government shut down that officially took effect in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, resident Republican bird Michele Bachmann has given her two cents on why an agreement can’t be reached. And yep, you guessed…according to Michelle, it’s alllll Presidet Obama’s fault. via MSNBC Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann likened President Obama to a drug dealer. “President Obama can’t wait to get Americans addicted to the crack cocaine of dependency on more government health care,” she said in an interview with the far-right WorldNetDaily site where she regularly gives explosive interviews. Once they enroll millions of more individual Americans, it will be virtually impossible for us to pull these benefits back from people,” Bachmann continued. “All they want to do is buy love from people by giving them massive government subsidies.” Bachmann echoed the Republican talking point on Obamacare, saying the program wasn’t ready to go live. So…..in so many words….Michele is blaming big bad President Obama for creating a massive plan that will, among other things, provide…..wait for it…healthcare for everyone. How DARE he do such a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh….wait….nevermind. SMH. Continue reading

Brooks: ‘Tragedy’ If Republicans Reject More Government, Higher Taxes

If a RINO is a Republican In Name Only, let’s coin a new acronym for David Brooks: RINYTO: Republican In New York Times Only.  For only in the Gray Lady’s bailiwick could Brooks be considered much of a Republican. Take his current column in the Times.  Brooks warns Republicans on the verge of regaining power that it would be nothing short of a “tragedy” if they were to oppose . . . more government and higher taxes. Excerpt [emphasis added]: If the current Republican Party regards every new bit of government action as a step on the road to serfdom , then the party will be taking this long, mainstream American tradition and exiling it from the G.O.P. That will be a political tragedy. There are millions of voters who, while alarmed by the Democrats’ lavish spending, still look to government to play some positive role. They fled the G.O.P. after the government shutdown of 1995, and they would do so again. It would be a fiscal tragedy. Over the next decade there will have to be spending cuts and tax increases. If Republicans decide that even the smallest tax increases put us on the road to serfdom , then there will never be a deal, and the country will careen toward bankruptcy. Brooks apparently believes we don’t have enough government and that taxes are too low.  I’d say that makes him a Republican only in the rarefied air of 8th Ave. between 40th & 41st streets.

What Does The Financial Reform Bill Do Other Than Being Completely And Utterly Worthless?

Is it possible to write a 2,300 page piece of legislation that accomplishes next to nothing and is pretty much completely and utterly worthless? The answer is yes. Barack Obama has been trumpeting the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill as the “biggest rewrite of Wall Street rules since the Great Depression”, but the truth is that after the Wall Street lobbyists got done carving it up, the bill that was left was so watered down and so toothless that it essentially accomplishes nothing except creating even more government bureaucracy and even more mind-numbing paperwork. The bill is so riddled with loopholes for the big banks that it is basically the legislative equivalent of Swiss cheese. The Democrats in the Senate were ecstatic when they announced that they had secured the 60 votes needed to pass this legislation, but when they are asked about what the financial reform bill will do, most of them are left stammering for some kind of cohesive response. The sad truth is that most of them probably don't understand the bill and none of them will probably ever read the entire thing. added by: Revelation1217
