I hate the GOP "Born Again Deficit Haters"
It is amazing now the GOP is talking fiscal responsibility.

Those idiots never worried about the deficit when Reagan or W. was in office!

They always said it didn't matter!!!

Now all of the sudden, then Obama gets elected, they are worried about the deficit again!

Wow, I wonder what changed???

15. Remember, they saw it when Clinton was elected. It was serious stuff, then.
Remember, there was lots of pressure to reduce the dificit then. And Clinton did it and we developed a budget surplus. Then the GOP wanted tax cuts and wars and squandered it.

Now all of a sudden they've "seen the light"?

Hah!!

16. Rs said if they were in charge the deficit would go down faster.
If you don't like the word liar, then they are at least fools as in idiot.

2. 7 years of War funding must be money that wasn't spent and the * tax cuts didn't make the war bill
any higher, since, being off budget, the War money wasn't spent in the first place. Everyone know that budgets are for money that is being spent and, since the War money was not on budget, it must not have been spent.

6. It's easier, not to mention more effective, to talk to a decaying pumpkin after halloween.
Less smelly too.

9. And I absolutely despise the Blue Dog and DLC DemoCRAPS who are now talking about how they
cannot help Obama pass quality legislation because doing so may add to the deficit. These same DemoCRAPS went along with just about every spending bill that Bush and the Repukes put forth. None of them--NOT ONE--stood up then in protest.

Now, all of the sudden, they have to preach responsibility and stop the spending!!

It's so frustrating to me. SO FRUSTRATING!!!

13. Its called RACISM
You wonder "what changed???" It's the color of the President's skin that has changed.

14. it's called ZERO CREDIBILITY.
they're immune to the "hypocrisy" charge, they've always been hypocritical in many respects and it's never bothered them or independents who lean their way.

but "zero credibility" is something that might sway a few of those independents.

17. I'm willing to bet that 99% of those born-agains and tea-baggers are in
debt up to their eyebrows, with their big mother trucks, their SUV's their ATV's, their houses, their daughter's wedding expenses, etc.

I'd like to see how many of them filed bankruptcy in the past few years. I bet they are afraid because they are batshit stupid when it comes to money and batshit crazy when it comes to judging character.

18. So do you hate the Democrats that supported Clinton when he balanced the budget?
I'm confused. Many Democrats supported Clinton when he balanced the budget and believed in fiscal responsibility. Now, many Democrats say the deficit isn't important. Do you hate them also?

I've always believed in Fiscal Responsibility, I'm curious how many Democrats have switched their beliefs.

19. The GOP wants to leave the Dems bankrupt
So they prevent them from showing the public that gov't programs can work.

I think Obama is 100% right to put the spending up front. Fuck the deficit hawks.

Let's turn it over to THEM without a surplus and then demand any wars or tax cuts be paid for first!
