Republican Hypocrisy

[abrogate]

That's surprising? America doesn't make shit anymore. Hell we don't even make American flags in America anymore.

I'm not sure about the 2011 numbers, but it looks like the US was still the world's largest manufacturer in 2010. The margin of difference has been shrinking, but there is still quite a bit of "shit" manufactured in the good ol' USA.

I drive and American car (ok, it was made in Mexico) and I know I'm wearing a shirt that was made in the US. So, that is something.

Rick Perry owned stock in Movie Gallery, once a competitor to Blockbuster, which was known for offering XXX porn rentals along with conventional Hollywood fare.

holy shit thats cynical

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- President Michele Bachmann has a promise: $2 gas.
"Under President Bachmann you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again," Bachmann told a crowd Tuesday in South Carolina. "That will happen."

Sure, politicians promise all kinds of things on the campaign trail. But Bachmann, a leading contender for the 2012 Republican nomination, is wading into truly tricky territory.
The price Americans pay at the pump is tied to the crude oil market -- a global system largely beyond the reach of Washington.

It's certainly true that prices -- now about $3.50 a gallon on average -- have risen since President Obama took office.

"The day that the president became president gasoline was $1.79 a gallon," Bachmann said. "Look what it is today."

Voting for O in 2012 is akin to insanity i.e. doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome.

Could be but I'll take my chances with his motives if nothing else.

But if voting for O and expecting change is akin to insanity, voting GOPer you should expect pure bat-shit lunacy. Voting GOPer and expecting a different outcome is reasonable...the only problem is the different outcome would amount to insanity.

So...I'll roll with BO proudly in '12 based on the alternatives...thank you very much.:hatsoff:

The Republican party died a long time ago.

So now we have a GOP that would make Reagan blush?

“What people recognize is that there’s a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward,” Bachmann said on conservative activist Jay Sekulow’s show. “And especially with this very bad debt ceiling bill, what we have done is given a favor to President Obama, and the first thing he’ll whack is 500 billion out of the military defense at a time when we’re fighting three wars. People recognize that.”

Nope and she won't. But the Conservative teabaggers will lap it up like a crack addict looking for a fix.

Of course not. She should and probably will be pressed on it in the following debates. I can already tell you how her answer will go.

Answer: I'll ask the best around and only after asking them how to do it will I form my plan.

It will probably go something like that. So no she doesn't know how to do it. She just said it.

None of the GOP candidates have a plan. They just throw out the standard GOP talking points: repeal Obamacare, lower taxes, and reduce regulations

We have a GOP that has Reagan spinning in his grave. It really is a shame to see his work so thoroughly undone by the Party that he built.

Ron Paul has predicted the current state of the economy for the last decade, no one person can fix all the problems in this world but he is the best chance for freedom that the US has at the present time, all the other candidates including the president are phonies who say one thing and do another and that's the bottom line

 

[Straight Shooter]

Ronald Reagan would have a hard time getting elected as a Republican today. This just goes to show you how far right politics have gone.

The GOP nor the Democrats have a plan we want.

The GOP is not on the right.
If they were they would be on the side of the people and the Constitution.

what I find hilariously comedic, is how every goddamn thing is Obama's fault.....

fucking white people can't get jobs - Obama's fault
economy is fucked - Obama's fault
everyone gets health insurance - Obama's fault
insurance rates are through the roof - Obama's fault
stock market is fucked - Obama's fault
infrastructure is falling apart - Obama's fault



....but Osama bin Laden gets killed and Obama has NOTHING to do with that shit. THAT is nuanced, and a president can't take credit for something like that....blah blah


at least get your fucked up stories straight


(don't worry I'll start my own thread on why Obama is a piece of shit and should not be re-elected)

 

[Facetious]

Democratic party hypocrisy...

OMG! The Bush administration is water boarding three known terrorists in the hopes that they might be able to gather information that could counter potential future attacks... isn't that awful? I've never heard of something so barbaric in all of my life!
Hey, everybody.... Americans are now torturing their ''underprivileged belligerent enemy combatant'' captives .... tell ten people to tell ten people to tell ten people!!!!!

In contrast, the obama admin eagerly approved the deployment of missile carrying Predator drones in the middle east to kill more than a thousand .s-u-s-p-e-c-t-e-d .terrorists along with innocent neighboring women, children and elderly. In just 2 1/2 short years as potus, the obama admin has launched 4X the number of Predator assassinations as the previous administration... not a peep! :crickets:

Wow, waterboarding worked so well...it only took like what 8 years to get OBL...How effective.

Yep, Obama upped the "war on terror" and got Bin Laden...
