1. Awesome! K&R

[dtexdem]

2. A rec from deep in the heart of taxes.

[MineralMan]

3. All I can say is:

Tax Ronald Reagan!

[AsahinaKimi]

4. Another words...

Blah blah blah. Yeah, we know what they are all about. Scary people! Which is why we need to keep Democrats in office!

[KaryninMiami]

5. It's great but leaves out all of the "Obamacare" mentions

I wanted to scream at the TV every time Michelle Bachman brought it up in her snarly, annoying voice.

[GodlessBiker]

6. LOL!

[Plucketeer]

7. Humorous,

but rather taxing to watch! :boring:

[The Wizard]

8. A tax increase on the wealthy

and cutting taxes on the working class would go a long way to narrowing the ever widening gap between the wealthy elites and everyone else. Republicans argue that half the people pay no taxes. They fail to mention that half the working people are the equivalent of feudal serfs.

[florida08]

9. RR nearly bankrupted this country with his tax cuts

while unemployment soared. Nearly tripled the deficit. Yeah he was great :crazy:

[Ken Burch]

10. When Newt says "I'm with Ronald Reagan..."

Does that mean he's admitting he's dead?

[Pacifist Patriot]

28. Rotting away at any rate.

[pam4water]

11. K&R and giggle snort.

[Enthusiast]

12. After a while

this shit is no longer funny.

Reagan raised taxes and tripled the deficit. These fuckers believe their own propaganda.

I know a better game. Which one is the most repulsive?

[Creideiki]

13. They're bad at history.

Sadly a lot of conservative "Democrats" are bad at history, too.

Do your part! Watch them writhe in apopleptic horror by pointing it out to them.

[Pacifist Patriot]

29. That's like asking me which one of my kids I love more.

[AlbertCat]

14. Ronald Reagan.... taxes

"Ronald Reagan was never afraid to raise taxes," historian Douglas Brinkley, who edited Reagan's diaries, told NPR. "He knew that it was necessary at times. And so there's a false mythology out there about Reagan as this conservative president who came in and just cut taxes and trimmed federal spending in a dramatic way. It didn't happen that way. It's false."



Meanwhile, following that initial tax cut, Reagan actually ended up raising taxes - eleven times. That's according to former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson, a longtime Reagan friend who co-chaired President Obama's fiscal commission that last year offered a deficit reduction proposal.



Meanwhile.... in Conserva-fairy Land....

:eyes:

[NewJeffCT]

30. my local newspaper mentioned much of that - plus, that he signed

a permissive abortion law as well.

[DLine]

15. Awesome! nt

[RoccoR5955]

16. Hmm... Perhaps we should tax Ronald Reagan! n/t

[jkoehler]

17. Perfect!

"Our questioning will have to come to an end." Thank you!

They did miss 99% of Bachmann's position.

Q. How do we get this economy moving?

Bachmann: Repeal Obamacare.

Q. What should we have done about Libya?

Bachmann: Repeal Obamacare.

Q. What is your education policy?

Bachmann: Repeal Obamacare.

Q. How would you rebuild our nation's infrastructure?

Bachmann: I'll repeal Obamacare on my first day in office!

[dash_bannon]

18. Hahahaha....

This would be funny if it weren't so serious. These guys have nothing new. NOTHING.

Yet...

People keep buying into their BS.

How do the Democrats lose to these guys?

[amb123]

19. SPENDING CUTS! TAX CUTS! OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST!

SPENDING CUTS! TAX CUTS! OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST!
SPENDING CUTS! TAX CUTS! OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST!

GOP Slogan for 2012.

:rofl:

[zinnisking]

20. Liberal Media, Activist Judges, DemocraT Party, etc...

I'ma gonna throw up

[20score]

21. Same techniques as a cult. Inundate and repeat, repeat.

[ffr]

22. I always love these. Why doesn't the DNC use them?

[McCamy Taylor]

23. Yes! Poor guys. How hard is it to say the word "jobs"?

[slay]

24. That drinking game where you drink when they say "taxes" or "Reagan"..

someone could have died from alcohol poisoning! fuck those robots - i have my problems with the Dems but these republican fuckers are pure heartless evil.

[Arkansas Granny]

25. Someone had mentioned doing that, but I think it was decided that even

if you could afford the liquor, it would be dangerous to your health.

[humanityisfree]

26. perfect

thanks

[Pacifist Patriot]

27. LOL!
