The Republicans' screw up goes beyond the smack down from President Obama
The President releases his budget tomorrow, and the Republicans spent last week opposing everything that represents fiscal responsiblity. They then had to spend the weekend recovering from an embarrassing public smack down by the President.

:rofl:

2. I know, the Republicans are screwing up, but we're at war. Oh yeah,

they started the friggin wars, and President Obama is in ending one as we speak.

Now, what the hell does the Republicans screwing up have to do with ending the war, especially since they aren't going to have anything to do with ending them?

3. Loved this from the 'American Conservative'...
Yesterday I said that the GOP remains just as intellectually bankrupt and unimaginative as ever, but I need to amend that in light of Pence’s comments. If possible, the GOP has somehow managed to become even worse than it was in previous years. How else can you explain the desperate bid to reframe tax credits for small business as a job-killing measure? It is tax credits similar to these that the Republicans normally advocate as a matter of course, and it was this sort of thing that Republicans were demanding more of last year during the debate over the stimulus bill. Instead of recognizing this and trying to claim that the administration has adopted one of his party’s solutions, Pence is reduced to the absurdity of claiming that possible tax reduction on businesses that hire new employees is some revival of the dreaded Carter years.

Maybe Obama Should Publicly Campaign for Each GOP Candidate?

:rofl:
