We have it all right there in black-&-white! Big fat blanks. That's all they've got. Empties. Whole buncha empties. They've got blank spaces. Nothing but blanks. Big open airy gaps, that all the other problems can just whiz through with no trouble at all! Gee, what happens if we let them build their walls that they seem to think will fix it all at the border. Probably their idea of building a wall is actually something that looks like the Holland Tunnel.

That's actually also a look inside the average GOP "brain." It, too, is full of big gaping holes full of nothing. Maybe what they have is the political form of mad-cow disease?

Whole lotta nothing. That's what they've got. And that's what they offer. HEY, AMERICA, anybody out there in red-state-land paying ANY attention at all? (Never mind, I know the answer to that one. It's that black Kenyan socialist communist fascist muslimist, un-Americanist, ist-ist in OUR WHITE House.)

All we need is the right plan, and our people can do the rest. So I have laid out what, in my view, are the five key things we must do as a nation:

· Reform our tax code.

· Solve our spending problem.

· Reform our legal system.

· Reform our regulatory system.

· Improve our education system.


Of course, with the buzzword of regulations we all know this is about right wingers willing to move the goalposts to allow increased employment at ANY cost even sacrificing safety and workers' rights.

So I open up the official 2012 GOP platform
am immediately impressed by the picture of the lead author, the now "convicted felon", Gov. Bob McDonnell.
That just explains so much!

Lower taxes for the rich, shrink government, let people off the hook, leave businesses alone, privatize education.

30. Jobs Plan is to make Steve Forbes and the 1% richer
Wed Oct 8, 2014, 10:12 PM
Oct 2014

His Jobs Plan is to revive the madness that put Steve Forbes on top of the GOP Primary for a brief moment in 1996. Those few 1% Republicans that believe in a Forbeleski/Ayn Rand paradise, that occaisonally seize control of the GOP until saner heads prevail.

...what else can we expect from a party run by people who don't believe in government?

People might laugh their asses off at a seeming "gaffe" like this, but his benefactors and campaign contributors probably love him for it. He's singing their tune.
