So, President Obama unveiled his economic plan today. And right on cue, the Pavlovian Republican party slobbered over the document, denouncing it as wasteful spending that our great grandchildren will be paying off a century from now.This is all highly ironic, coming from the party that tripled government spending (the greatest single spending and deficit increase in American history) during the Bush years and put us in "great grandchildren paying off" territory long, long ago.
Let's face facts, here. The Republicans are pro-limited government IN THEORY ONLY! When it comes to things they're really into, like Defense spending, the GOP will bankrupt this country by dumping cash into it. They'll cut education and public works projects to pay for senseless wars in Stone Age countries the common man can't find on a map. And if they can't get enough money by pulling taxpayer programs, they'll borrow from China or Saudi Arabia to finance their aims.
Time and again, the Republicans pull the same bullshit. Yet people keep voting them in, because they buy the "you're safer with us" fear-mongering garbage that they spout every election season. First it's the Russians. Then the Iraqis. Now terrorists and the Iranians. Who's next? Bangladeshis?
It's plainly obvious that the Republicans want Obama to fail. What they don't seem to understand is that if he fails, the country goes with him. Ergo, the Republicans want AMERICA to fail. And I say Fuck Them. Their 19th century policies send American dollars into foreign countries that really don't like us.
It's time this country put the world on notice. It's time for serious change. And it's not going to be cheap. But change never is.
Currently, I'm a fan of the Obama budget. From what I've learned, it focuses on infrastructure and new energy initiatives. It's about time our government focus inwardly rather than outwardly. I'm driving down 195, watching concrete crumble from overpasses and girders corrode to nothingness, just wondering if today's going to be the day when one of them gives and hey, Time's Up! Fire up the crematory. Craig-O's down for the count.
Or maybe it's not me. Maybe it's 13 people on a bridge in Minnesota. Who knows?

Good stuff, Craig!
Did you see the Daily Show's take on Bobby Jindal's response? Classic.

yeah. just checked that out. everyone's already picked up on that mr. rogers stuff. watched bill maher last night and someone mentioned it. but hey, when your party doesn't have a leader, what do you do?
start running for the presidency 4 years early.
Republicans are counter-progress in todays administration and should be tried for treason
Hah! Very nice blog here.
I am absolutley apalled at some of the Republicans of today.
A side note, before I move on, one of my teachers was from Bangladesh and I have to admit I laughed at that comment. Not to be rude or anything.
Anyway, it takes money to make money. Obama has only been in the White House for quite some time now. All of the Republicans here, as you have stated, are waiting for him to fail. However, my personal opinion, I don't think he will.
Let's face it. Bush butchered a lot. It's hard to erase eight years in the.. oh... 6 months that Obama has been in office. And yet people are losing faith in him.
Sorry haha, It's two a.m. and I'm sorry if my comment seems invalid. Too lazy to put evidence :P
Great post. Agree with you one hundred percent.
I love this website. Whoever did it, KUDOS!
Finally, a site I can enjoy. I am fortunate to have learned the ignorance of these right-wingers. They have no care for the people, only for the corporations. They are not even worth my piece of shit
Republicans AND Democrats are anti-war and anti-spending during the election campaign. After they win it's a free-for-all. Same shit, different package.
I found this interesting...this quote from Orwell should help us all put the republican agenda in perspective: " In 1984 George Orwell outlined the real Machiavellian purpose of war:
The primary aim of modem warfare... is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living... The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking into the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable..."
Your blog is very well written; I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The republicans today, as stated by the starburst commercials, are a "mouthful of contradictions" for lack of better words. I am only 16, yet I know well in my head why this country is headed for the gutters.
The Republicans make all of these complex procedures and mistakes left behind by Bush...so...easy to clean up. So, my theory is, we should send all republicans in favor of fighting the war TO Iran and Iraq, and bring back all the democrats. We will see how long those hypocrites will last in an environment that their tiny brains cannot even fathom.

Absolutely fantastic! I punched in google, are all republicans retarded and you came up. Good stuff...i guess it is only take with them,,work the 6 days like the bible says,,,but they forgot the one,,pay Caesar that which is his,,metaphorically speaking,,you gots to pay Uncle Sam. The rest of the world is watching. The terrorists are laughing their explosive shorts off thinking about their own Bohner. Oh my God, what a tool...am i allowed to say that? Oh, im canadian eh, we believe in taxation and medical stuff for the poor,,somewhat like the rest of the world. Jesus. Help!
Sammy the prophet says: When you are a millionaire and outsource your business to China the average American cant buy your goods nor pay more taxes, because he is not working, because the Sam Waltons of the world did not think ten million was enough. The wanted a billion. US will fade. Within 40 yrs the downtrodden poor will revolt on the rich. Civil war will ensue.
the republican party will always be a force in this country because most people here won't take the time to educate themselves, your average republican has chosen to watch fox propaganda and like the dumb sheep they are believe blindly on loud mouth host, fashion model hostesses to district from from using common sense. the republican party has been totally exposed for the racist jerks they really are.
Republicans are mentally ill primitive brain retards and shouldn't be allowed to vote or breed.
