They're all talking about what a crisis this country is in like they had nothing whatsoever to do with it.

And since when is Romney a Washington outsider? Just because he was a governor? Fuck this shit.

1. Standard GOP OP
Lie, cheat and steal.
If that doesn't work,
invoke God.

4. I heard in morning speeches in the House, either this morning
or yesterday morning, a Repug got up and said (paraphrasing here) The Liberals have been in control of Congress for just one year and look at the price of gas, look at what they have done to the economy, etc. He blamed EVERYTHING BAD on the Liberals being in charge of Congress.

My jaw hit the floor with the balls of that guy.

state of the economy.

5. Oh, c'mon. You act like...
...a two billion dollar a week war and letting mega-corporate interests run the government have something to do with it. /sarcasm

8. "This is Clinton's economy!"
Remember they said that for years after Chimpy took office and the economy turned south.

In the Clinton years, they claimed, it was George I's economy.

Chimpy had the Clinton economy.

And when our next Democratic president starts undoing the mess the Chimp has created, naturally it'll be Chimpy's economy again.

10. Don't worry next month he'll be back to saying the economy is dandy.

Add a pair of pom-poms to that giant foam flip-flop costume should you visit one of his rallies.

12. Huckabee the Populist moving right along--made them aware
that their RR Base is interested in values other than
Guns God and Gays.

Between Edwards and Huckabee with their populist message
and the Recession they have tried to pivot and sound concerned

Our candidates should be pointing out the fact the was
Conservatism, practiced GOP style that has run this country
in a ditch.

13. The traditional definition of chutzpah:
Killing both your parents and throwing yourself on the mercy of the court on the grounds that you're an orphan.
