3. Were you watching Cantor this morning, too?
Idiot. Big flaming idiot. Who seemed only to have his talking points memorized for repetition, ad nauseum.

5. Yes...
This has been another episode of Simple Answers To Simple Questions.

Why anyone cares what the people who drove us into a ditch think, is beyond me.

6. Sure--freeze TOTAL spending. Take the money that would have lined the pockets of GOP fatcats
and dump it into the economy!!!

That'll teach 'em to come up with "too clever by half" ideas!

7. Spending Freeze = Bush's Budget for One Extra Year.
Plain and simple.

8. Which I'm sure they'd be very selective about
Freeze spending!*



*But not for the military, the CIA, FBI, NSA, Bureau of Prisons, and the DEA.

9. They are "Hell Bent" on derailing any sort of recovery
Yes - I noticed also they are out in force parroting the need for a spending freeze. This is also a "Text Book Example" of what went wrong during the Hoover Administration after the crash of 1929

10. SO what would happen
to the Iraq War funding? All that money for the Defense Department? Abstinence Only Education? Red State Subsidies?

Somehow I doubt very much that the GOP really really wants a spending freeze. They are just blowing nonsense out of their asses.

12. The alternative to long lasting economic disaster is
democratic socialist reform of the system, and since that is BAD, we must therefore endure long lasting economic disaster. Otherwise...

Well that is as far as I can go with Rush Republican thought.

14. hey, it worked for Herbert Hoover... but it could be worse, the uber-progressives could be in charge
& refuse to work w/ any Republicans at all and not have anything passed to date -- no stimulus bill, no budget, no nothing

17. If progressives mustered a majority sufficient to run Congress...
...they would also be passing progressive (ish) legislation.

But they won't be allowed near that sort of power, for exactly that reason.

Those things are always off the table.

19. They will destroy the country
to get what they want.

If they allow Obama to succeed, people will see that they've been lied to for 40 years and the GOP will never gain a foothold again.

Edited on Mon Mar-09-09 05:31 PM by LiberalPersona
They're fully aware of that, remember they're in the "we want him to fail" mentality. They want him to freeze spending because they want Obama to fail.

22. Well?
Whatever else is being suggested from our side does'nt seem to be instilling confidence.

I say cut back on some spedning or we're drive our economy to hell. President Obama is is going too fast, I believe someone needs to pull back on the spedning/bailouts. We are bailing out everyone right now.

26. This Is A Sound Policy
This is exactly what we need if we want our economy to fail. If it is our goal to further tank our economy, we won't put any money into it. This is genius, if we want every single American to be out of work. Then we can have what republicans Really want. Anarchy. No Government. Just a bunch of lawless people who rob and steal from each other. But the joke will be on them. There will be nothing to steal from each other.

You know what? Republicans are dopes.
