| TheRealMafoo said: The masses of America don't seem to mind. I mean the party responsible for this behavior in the first place, just picked up seats on Congress, the department responsible for our spending. I should do that. Buy more then I can handle, and just write hot checks to pay it off. If those checks don't clear, write more to cover them. If the US Congress can spend billions when they are broke, why can't I? |
You mean the Bush Adminstration who were the ones who proposed the $700 billion bailout?
Republicans are not the fiscally conservative party that they used to be, so blaming the Democrats entirely is just plain foolish and completely ignores how the Republican Party has fundamentally changed.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
