Ideas from the Tea Party

Many compare the Tea Party and the OWS crowd.

You can't. There is no comparison.

I'll start taking the OWS crowd seriously.....heck, I'll start taking the GOP and Democrats seriously when they start putting out ideas like this.

TEA PARTY BUDGET


Unfortunately, the GOP is AGAIN betraying the conservative movement.


Republicans throw their Pledge to America under the Omnibus

".....the House passed Harry Reid’s first minibus appropriations bill (Agriculture, Commerce-Justice-Science, Transportation-HUD), which contains record levels of spending for Food Stamps, WIC, and international food aid. It also contains $2.3 billion for disaster spending, which is excluded from the budget caps. "

I am ashamed to say that there does not seem to be one, single, solitary Virginian name on the roster of those that kept their word.

When will these fools learn? If they continue to vote this way, why should conservatives support them? At all? How are they different from the Democrats?

He has GOT to be kidding.....

Obama to shift focus to budget deficit.......

Full story at Wall St. Journal:

"He has scheduled a "fiscal-responsibility summit" on Feb. 23 and will unveil a budget blueprint three days later, crafted to put pressure on politicians to address the country's surging long-term debt crisis."

"It's important for us to think in the midterm and long term. And over that midterm and long term, we're going to have to have fiscal discipline. We are not going to be able to perpetually finance the levels of debt that the federal government is currently carrying."

Hmmm, they propose either spending cuts or higher taxes "once the economy turns around", of course. And since that is supposed to happen ON ITS OWN, per the CBO, here is their excuse to raise taxes. Because, all of this spending is necessary.

Just ask them.

What a load of crap.

Where's my bourbon and duct tape.....

If you don't think that you are qualified to serve in Congress,

take a look at this woman. Now ask yourself, "If she can do it, how hard can it really be?"



This woman has NO CLUE how the real world works. But, she's on the Finance committee. She gets so excited and incensed that Barney Frank, that paragon of level headed civility has to tell her to stop.

Paul F., commenting at Megan McArdle, puts it:
Of course if one of the CEOs was black, she would defend him to the hilt.
Maxine Waters: Through nearly a dozen hearings, we were frankly trying to fix something that wasn’t broke. Mr. Chairman, we do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and particularly at Fannie Mae, under the outstanding leadership of Franklin Raines. [Raines would barely avoid prosecution for fraud.]

And we see how well the mortgage industry is fairing. Heck, isn't the fact of Freddie/Fannie failing that started THIS WHOLE MESS?

Top Idiots of the Week Awards

Not to be confused with the 3rd Annual Mibloggie Awards. Before I get into this, I have to tell you the milblog conference was a hugh success and everyone was very series about it. ;) Thanks to Matt at Blackfive for throwing one hell of a party at the Penthouse Club last Friday night. Yep, thats right THE PENTHOUSE CLUB!!!!!!!
I have some links here to the evidence, er I mean the photos of the event.
I made it through my Certified Welding Inspector class and took the exam on Saturday. All is well, for now. I'll let you know when my grades come in.
Now on to the Idiots of the Week Awards:
TOP IDIOTS OF THE WEEK AWARDS:

1. The top idiot of the week award goes, hands down, to Dem VP contender Joe Biden, who stated with a straight face that being patriotic means paying higher taxes. No doubt, some will fall for this bunk, which further explains the need for an expanded IDIOT'S list. So many idiots, so little time.

2. Narrowly losing out for first place has to be Washington Redskin's tight end, Chris Cooley, who 'accidentally' posted a photo of his genitals on the Internet. Cooley apologized, saying he was studying, in the nude, and accidentally included his genitalia in a photo of what were supposed to be notes. Right.. He as much as said it ain't no big deal.

3. A would-be robber picked the wrong bar to rob. It turned out Pooh's Corner Bar in Virginia is a cop's bar. This idiot ended up with a shot in the butt. Sometimes, life is fair.
4. Rep. Charlie Rangel, who, after being caught cheating on his taxes, penned an open letter to New Yorkers saying he is the target of a GOP "guerilla war." This, after he managed to keep his leadership post on our nation's tax-writing committee even after evidence of his tax fraud came to light.5. A German teenager engraved a swastika into her hip and then blamed it on right-wing militants. She is currently facing trial.

6. Billionaire George Soros has made this week's list. His hedge fund lost at least $120 million bucks for his investors on the funds' Lehman Brothers holdings. Welcome, George. Hope to see you back here real soon.

7. Our 'social justice' award has to go to the group of protesters who gathered outside John McCain's Crystal City condo, demanding McCain give them his condo. Too much koolaid for those kids. What do you want to bet they're all Obama supporters?

8. Last, but not least, we must acknowledge those zany Democrat leaders who, as the world teetered on the brink of financial ruin last week, suggested issuing gas stamps to help Americans cope with high gas prices.

Et tu, Toledo

Now we have Toledo to add to the list.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo......

"Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort. Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people."

FRED! We hardly knew ye....

Oh, well.
Now who the hell do I vote for?

Where's the bourbon............?
Son of bitch! Damn it!..........
Stupid frick'n Americans.........
