Bill Frist: Democrats are to blame for $8 Trillion debt

He sent this yesterday in an e-mail to supporters-




http://www.ciadvertising.org.nyud.net:8090/SA/spring_03/382j/MDEMORI/stanley%20pollitt/pointing%20fingers.jpg

I never thought I'd be agreeing with trent lott, but frust really is losing it.

And he's more of a gentleman, too.

Seriously, the thing to ask these people is the following:

Republicans own Congress since 1994

Republicans own the Senate, the Presidency and even the Judiciary since 2000

Democrats own nothing and amount to nothing.

When are Republicans are going to be f***ing responsible for anything?

WHEN????

NEVER!!!!

.. because the spineless DEMs will not come out and counter this statement, let alone stand up for themselves.

I hope they use it anyway...

someone should look into it.

I've seen Senator Frist on television, so I feel qualified to say that Bill Frist has no fucking clue when it comes to money & finances, balance sheets, cash flows, income statements, budgets, fiscal planning or fiscal responsibility.

I'm glad you said something. I've often believed that watching him on TV. But, since I lack a degree in business or accounting and finance, I wasn't sure. Thanks for giving us your expert diagnosis.
Just one question though:
Did you take at least five minutes to make your diagnosis?

1) Initial diagnosis was batshit insane within seconds
2) verify that with supporting statements made by Frist over the years.

Great law. Saying "insane" things should be illegal. :sarcasm:

In fact, they remove judges from the bench for incompetence, which can also mean for reasons of insanity.

Black is White

Night is Day

War is Peace

Love is Hate

Thank you Mr. Orwell.

that all his "supporters" are so freaking brain dead that they would believe the Dems have control now?

He knows - he's personally reviewed videos of every last one of them, and they're all alert and responsive!

:)

take that prescription pad away from him! Really, he's going to hurt himself! (not that I care)

... exactly who was it that ran up that $8 trillion dollar debt in the first place?

Just wonderin' ...

I guess the insider trading scandal is starting to wear Frist down.

(Which is unfair to lunatics, actually.)

He also has the weirdest plastic hair you can get. My brother sez he got that rug from a late nite TV ad.

Who let these guys out of the insane asylum?!?!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

MORE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES SYNDROME. I see NO humor in this at all. These people (Bush, Norquist, Frist, Rove, Cheney) say "black is white" and "white is black" with apparent impunity (except for the occasional Feingold). The whore media then spreads/saturates this shit around just like manure and then the sheeple swallow the lies whole. And where are Pelosi, Dean, Reid? They should take off the gloves, and just come out and call Frist a goddamn fucking liar, which he is. What we've spent on Iraq/Afghanistan alone under Republican leadership/domination of both houses is and will continue to be enough to bankrupt this country. And they aren't done.

n/t

but there is still Diebold.

thievery of another election, I guess it can be said we deserve it.
btw welcome to the DU, many many hands and lots of open arms.

like they were in Florida & Ohio.

Frist is an idiot...plus a cat killer who lied to humane shelters and adopted cats...then, medically experimented on them. That's the best spokesman the weakened W can come up with?

Hilarious.

I'm missing something in that quote! If the Pubs took the majority in Congress in 94, you're really saying the MINORITY made all the spending decisions?????

Hmmm....

Stoopid cat killer.

The reason we have this debt is because you're boys in the Senate and your boy in the White House keep spending money on this stupid war in Iraq. Also, they keep giving tax breaks to their rich, fat cat buddys.

Democrats' fault.

How'dja diagnose that one, doc? On the teevee?

Didn't you know that Bush and Cheney are Democrats, and that Democrats control the House and the Senate? :sarcasm:

Seriously though, I wonder, at what point, will the RW pundits start calling Bill Clinton an "honorary Republican" a la JFK?

these:

http://www.zymetrical.com.nyud.net:8090/images/products/groucho.gif

:rofl:

but Limbaughs excuse for the utter destruction of our budget and the explosion of our debt is that there are too many liberal Republicans in Washington.

See, it's not the Republicans or Boooooooosh that is responsible...it's the damn liberals.

:crazy:

I mean cmon.

You forgot the Supreme Court...


:+

The first is that I don't know who the "Democrat Party" is. I'm a member of the Democratic Party; does this mean that Frist is a member of the Republic Party? My second question is how the hell were Democrats able to achieve this miracle, with Frist's party controlling both houses of Congress, and the Presidency?

They whine and pout even when they're in the majority. It's absolutely pathetic. I'd be too ashamed to be a member of the "Republic Party."

They were born that way. Some sort of defect. They are always the victim and nothing is their fault. Frist proves this nicely.

At least I assume it is. I can't listen longer than about 90 seconds myself. He's like a grownup child who never outgrew the "terrible 2's".

I'm just waiting for that usage to hit the traditional media

that moran newt gingrich and company started it, demonstrating their lack of knowledge of what is supposed to be their native tongue.

This usage predated Gingrich. On Wikipedia, we had a discussion about correct terminology. One contributor wrote, "'DEMOCRAT PARTY' was introduced by Republicans about 1952 to needle Democrats. Democrats really hate the term so the GOP uses it every chance it can. Independents and scholars never use it." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Democratic_Party_%28United_States%29#Name_choice

I can't personally vouch for dating it back to 1952 but I do remember hearing it before Gingrich. It's not just "Democrat Party", but "Democrat ideas", "Democrat candidates", etc.

I was around then, and I remember hearing it used at the Repuke convention (which I watched on TV).

They're such a bunch of morans.

It's not really much of an "insult" (we/they are Democrats), but once we start using it, it takes the zip out of their using it.

I've caught Randi Rhodes using it a couple of times.

It sounds to my ear exactly like using "jew" as an adjective. Like when idiots say "I went to a jew doctor" or "the jew york times". I hate to use those phrases here, they are horrible. But that's exactly what "Democrat ideas" sounds like to me.

Supposedly, Democratic Party plays better with focus groups than Democrat Party.

Even wingnuts know that name-calling like Frist's (and using slurs like "democrat party" IS name-calling) is not Presidential.

...the advances of the big, strong, manly Democrats. We made them do it!:silly:

--IMM

This is just too easy! So your party has control of the House, the Senate, the White House, the courts and the media...and you think people are so stupid as to believe it's the OTHer people who are in charge.

In-fucking-credible.

and complete control of the gov't for the last 3 years!


WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT!!!

"You Democrats made us spend all this money!"

And why not? They probably figure they got away with Iraq, they can get away with anything.

And they're right.

That is some seriously funny shit.

There are people eating this shit up. Where else can a large fraction of Americans get the facts? Many don't care, or have good bullshit detectors like us. Some have their own agendas. Some are just going along in order to validate spouses or parents. Lots of excuses. But sadly, Frist, not unlike the Nazi propaganda producers, knows that when a public speaker utters anything, it becomes a sort of truth all on it's own, and requires much in order to right it.

YUCK. They really do want a fight. They're inevitably going to end up with a very big mess on their hands. Then it will be very obvious whose mess it really is.

It speaks volumes on how stupid they think the America people are.

To even try this, means that the Republican Party believes the American people are dumber than dirt.

Just a minor correction, because this really does show their utter contempt for the American people.

I hang out in a British forum, and the consensus is, Americans are dumb. And from what I have witnessed in their forum, they are a magnitude ahead of us. Their young know science, art history, history, politics. Our kids know Grand Theft Auto Playstation moves.

Yesterday I was talking with a friend who owns an engineering company just north of San Francisco. He cannot find help. There is no one qualified to weld or machine. And it's no surprise since I can't even go back to my trade school in Silicon Valley, because it was auctioned off in the 80's. We don't value knowledge here. We value comfort.

I'm not disagreeing with what you said. It may sound that way. I'm just of the impression that we are at least half a nation of idiots. Not here at DU. Not my sister's son. But she lives in Los Altos. The average house price is something like $2 million. They have schools. They have brainy people all over the place there. But average America?

I honestly think that the next phase is where Chinese costs rise, and manufacturing returns to America. But not in a good way.

I'm blabbing. Time to get some work done. I hope I'm wrong. I have nothing to gain by being right here.

especially the ones that constantly vote over and over again for the GOP,voting against their own self-interests,something about doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result.

How much of that $8 trillion was rung up under Ray-gun, *41, and *43?

rethugs - the borrow and spend party!

I can tell every time I see video of him. And I'm not even a doctor.

Coffee/screen/Handiwipe moment!

:spray:

Wowzah! :wow:

:rofl:

That is all.

of coarse those big spending liberals are to blame! The Democratic Congress has been the Republican punching bag for decades, why not now? :shrug:

---- Bush Borrowed More Than All Previous Presidents Combined, Group Says

(CNSNews.com) - President Bush and the current administration have borrowed more money from foreign governments and banks than the previous 42 presidents combined, a group of conservative to moderate Democrats said Friday.

***

According to the Treasury Department, from 1776-2000, the first 224 years of U.S. history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions, but in the past four years alone, the Bush administration borrowed $1.05 trillion. ----

Madman this one
Sad US politics now out of reality
How the hell this all happen

(and the assumption on the part of the powerful that they will STAY rigged)

We know about the idea of if you lie enough it gets believed as the truth!

There's another saying that you should remember too...

"Payback's a bitch!"

Persistent Legislative Reprobate.

any more of an asshole if you wore a twin beer can hat on the floor of the Senate.

It would be Jesus Juice.

apparently everything else is

if bill had balanced the budget BETTER than george would have had more money to work with!!


:puke: :sarcasm: :puke: :sarcasm: :nuke:

The Clenis has been adopted by Babs and Poppy. You hadn't heard?




Cher

When all else fails, blame the democrats for every fucking thing on this planet! :mad:

the Majority... who has the majority, oh yes YOUR PARTY... how did you pass Logic 101 is a good question, a gentleman's C perchance?

going like gangbusters.

And how can we be raising the debt when we're in the minority?

And who keeps raising the ceiling?

And who won't repeal the tax breaks for the rich.

And wasn't it a Senator from the Republican side who refuses to give up his "bridge to nowhere"? Can anyone say "pork"?

Sorry pal. Y'all have been in charge for a few years now. Are you now saying that you and your party are so ineffectual that it is STILL our fault that things are the way they are? Why did anyone elect you guys in the first place? Apparently you can't get anything done.

Sheesh.

Repugs control both houses of congress and the white house and it's Democrats fault????

it's the "Democratic Debt" initiative.

right?

Loudly.

The Republican have been in control for years now. :wtf:

We won't need any high end macro-economists to rummage through policies when this current economy we're living in falls out, just a couple cheap psycho-therapists :shrug:

by the local law enforcement into the loony bin.

For some reason, despite the BRAZILLION jaw dropping moments of this administration...this one caught me off guard as the most bizarre of them all.

My T-shirt that I have on under my dress jacket at work today says (seriously) -

"I did it, but I am blaming YOU" with a picture of a cute little bunny on it giggling. Sounds about right for these unhinged, utter aberrant mental defectives of which Frist is included.

Sad thing is, if no one counters it from our own spineless (at times) party, it WILL end up the Dems fault via default, as SO many things have before.

"I did it, but I am blaming YOU!" That should be the slogan for the REPUBLIC PARTY

These are people who'd mug a widow then take credit for her recovery in the hospital. They complain that the media isn't reporting the "good news" in Iraq, but journalists are being killed in Iraq, many by U.S. forces (hotel bombardment anyone?), at rates not seen before. Journalists can't leave the Green Zone unaccompanied by armed and armored bodyguards. Rumsfeld can't go to Iraq except in secret. Entire families are given the death penalty due solely to 'suspicion' - of someone in the neighborhood.

But we're assured that the "democratization" of Iraq is the goal du jour. If the Iraqis somehow recover from the invasion and occupation, the Bushoilinis will take credit - all of it. If they don't, the Bushoilinis will blame the Iraqis, the Iranians, and the Democrats - enough to go around.

"YOU fixed my mess, but I AM taking credit for it." Perfect! :banghead:

no amount of republican bullshit, propaganda & double-speck will save him now :thumbsdown:

YOU IDIOTS WERE IN CHARGE!

Do who to the what now?

Democrats?
$8 trillion debt?
DEMOCRATS?!

What on A Deity of Your Choice's Mixture of yellow and blue prime colors spherical planet third from the sun is he talking about? I have seen no shortage of garbage flying out of the GOP but this... This really does take the case.

At least when they were lying to us about Iraq, they could obfuscate the truth for a little while, but this is... Wow. Blatant!

I've said it many times. I do not mind my government lying to me. It's what they do. It's why we elect them, because they tell us pretty lies. It's all we expect from them. However, I take great offense at being lied to poorly. I pay these people my money so they can come up with deep, convincing, conspiritorial lies, not so they can do this shit.

Republicans are Democrats now, huh, Bill "The cat" Frist?

Fool. ACK THBBBBPT!

Nice try, cat-killer. But only the dumbest of the dumb are falling for that one.

On my way to work each morning I give him the middle finger salute!!!

SARCASM

Can they be sued for spreading lies? If not, how do we fight their lies?

here is a clear case of someone talking out his ass, cause his mouth would damm well know better that to say something so unbelievable and stupid.

to put your foot in your mouth while you got your head up your ass.

Boy is that twisted logic . . . at least the Dems are proposing a method for paying the debts . . .

eceonmy.......when its the credit card Republicans who are in charge. Mr. Frist thankfully your gone soon, and perhaps the majority who followed you.

I guess it's just a matter of time.

How are Dems to blame when the Repukes CONTROL EVERYTHING????

Rove perfected this insidious strategy. You accuse your opponent of your faults, weaknesses and short comings. That way they are on the defensive and unable use your weaknesses against you. In other words you use your weakness against your opponent.

He knows how stupid his base is.

It shows very clearly who is to blame for most of our national debt.

http://ibew.org/legislative/Rev042304-JustFacts.pdf

Oh wait. They DO!

I mean... really, If they didn't have dominion over all branches and the media, then we would know about their recklessness and be able to stop the tyranny of their majority!
Bloodyhell.

into debt, they deserve ALL the blame! When exactly have the CONS tried to restrain spending? :spank: What spending bill has Pinhead** vetoed? He goes to Congress with hat in hand begging for money and the Republic Congress gives it to him.

:evilgrin:

Was there any verbiage before or after the given quote where he might give some hint as to the basis for this statement? As everyone has pointed out, it seems ridiculous on its face inasmuch as all national spending decisions for many years have been made by Republicans.

I wonder whether elsewhere in the letter he mentions any accomplishments of the current Congress. If so, I suspect he gives the Republicans credit for those.

The jaw-dropping ignorance of this remark astounds me. :wtf: There are two possibilities here: either Frist actually believes this or he's lying out of his ass. Either one should disqualify him from holding office, ANY office! :wow:

bush and his slimy sycophants in Congress keep lowering taxes, running up the national debt, insist on continuing a war without end spending upward of $300 million a day to support it, give REBATES to oil companies that are gouging the hell out of us and enjoying record profits every quarter, repeal every environmental law on the books to please their corporate masters, cut social programs to the bare bone, control EVERY branch of government...........and this is somehow the Democrat's fault?

Frist is as fucking crazy as a shit-house rat! His fundy brain is officially fried. Reality is no longer a part of Frist's daily regimen. Who listens to and believes shit like this? What the fuck is wrong with people? I can't believe this, I CANNOT fucking believe this! :silly:

I wish there was some alien life form that would come to earth and dissect Mr. Frist the way he "experimented" on cats in his apartment during his obviously failed med school education. This man is insane! :grr:

n/t

:rofl:

Or else the economy would be in bad shape!

Trent Lott was right about Frist
:crazy:

THEN we wouldn't be $8 trillion dollars in debt! Waahhh!" :cry:

used the veto against all these spending bills? And how come, you always vote for the president's budgets and requests for military funding?

This is too funny. They run everything and can't do anything.

Who just voted to keep the debt limit down?

Who balanced the budget in the 90's?

Who blew the budget?

Fuck Bill Frist. I hope this pisses off Dems everywhere.

someone would have to be equivalent to a zombie to believe such a ridiculous statement.

who is in control the senate and the house? Who is in the presidents office? Who has the court stacked? ...And we still manage to run ruff s hot over them and run up the dept..hahahaha ..to efin funny ...well if they cant manage to keep Dem's from spending when they control everything what good are they?

The whole thing is just retarded...my apologies to retards..but Jeeze Laaaweeez!! They blame Dem's when Dem's are in control and they blame them when when Repub's control everything are they ever responsible for anything? PHHUUULLLEEESSSE

Now, with the revelation that federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission are looking into Frist's sale of hospital stock shortly before its value fell,

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/24/AR2005092401379.html

when he appears on TV - usually they would use any appearance as a chance to bring up problems associated with the personality -- guess that only applies to Dems now in the New World Order.

perhaps some TV ads asking about the stock sales - they put poor Martha in jail so they can do the same to Frist.

It would appear that it is being shelved since the SEC wouldn't even acknowledge that it is investigating.

The latest news item I could find is a March 10 article from http://www.commercialappeal.com/mca/midsouth_news/article/0,1426,MCA_1497_4529420,00.html

"The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating his sale of stock in the for-profit hospital company his father founded. Frist's decision to sell off stock in Columbia/HCA came suspiciously close to the time the stock price dropped."

(snip)

"An SEC spokesman noted that the commission has never acknowledged an investigation is under way, although Frist's office has said it has been cooperating with its requests for documents."

damage this crew is doing, e.g., the war, the economy, the environment, civil liberties, to name just a few and the massive corruption, i.e. America for sale, it is hard to keep their feet to the fire on all fronts. Hopefully, during the Repug primaries, their dirty tricks crews will destroy one another.

Rhetoric like this is what's bringing them down in the polls. The Dems in congress won't bring the Republicans down--the Republicans will bring the Republicans down.

They're the ones running the show, not us.

If any of their followers believe this crap they should really have their head examined.

They hold the presidency, house sentate and supreme court; but the democrats have all the power. Whine on frist!

I'm sorry Dr Cat-Killer, but who has been in control of all three branches of government lately?

Mucking Foron...:eyes:

The Dems didn't fight to stop the Republicans. Dems didn't hang together so we'll all hang separately. It's the Dems' fault for letting us get bullied by "national security" issues when the Republicans are not securing our nation.

It's also Clinton's fault for getting a blow job, which helped put Bush in office.

It's also Carter's fault for only using only 9 helicopters in Desert One (Iran hostage crisis) instead of 18, which put Reagan in office.

And it's FDR's fault for not passing universal health insurance and pension reform as part of the new deal.

These guys don't let up. We may be the opposition party, but they are the OPPOSITE PARTY. Whatever they say, believe the opposite.

it has been wiped away...

Repukes have no shame.

:mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr:

can't take responsibility for ANYTHING.

With the republicans.. the buck stops anywhere
as long as it's not with them. What a bunch of goobers.

and keep cognitive dissonance alive.

I've read on FR, several times about RINOS, and their fear and loathing for them. The key to keeping the freepers in line lies with the idea that they believe that the Dems, coupled with the RINOs actually control the House and Senate. That's their "official" delusion. Of course, this doesn't explain why "dear leader" can't just veto this HORRIBLE "democrat" spending. Neither does it explain Bush would have any fear in vetoing, if the puke Congress is so "dedicated" to lowering spending -- surely the handful of RINOS and Dems can't get a 2/3 majority, in a Republican House/Senate "so dedicated" to bringing down the debt and the deficit.

They're just fucking liars, and their constituency is a bunch of zombies.

The second part is that a LARGE part of their party ARE willing to trade smaller government and a smaller welfare state to win the culture war. I was just reading a rationalization of this, the other day, on FR, by a socialist-christo-fascist (in my opinion, far more dangerous than real conservtives). You'll hear no complaints on spending to increase the power of the Fed, attack the brown heathens, and fund Christian programs for everyone.

This is how the GOP can get away with saying such outrageous things.

WTF???? I mean really! WTF???

I simply cannot wrap my mind around this one. Seriously. Have I had some sort of breakdown?

Pretzel logic always does that to me. Pass the beer.

Their killer continues to dig his hole deeper.

in a republican kind of way. American economy is stagnant, exports are dwindling, and energy costs are soaring - with or without Iraq -, costs of medical care booming.

The rebuplican solution apparantly was to hijack public sentiment to support a war against two sovereign nations, seize political and millitary control of their oil fields, and hope for a miracle.

In not supporting this, in his view, democrats are actually harming the economy on the long run.

:crazy:

believed they could just LIE, STEAL and MURDER to get the ole economy moving? Yep, some great plan for those who scream of being the holy of holies!!!! yessirreeeee! I think that black book that they're always raising into the air and beating their chest with, actually says something about stealing, murdering and lying. Dear Goddess, will someone take the keys from these sociopaths who have been in charge of the asylum for too, too long? I don't know whether to believe that they believe their own lies or they know they're intentionally lying to us.

"The Democrat made me do it!" It's the Almighty Clenis, of course. (Makes you want to pay money to see that thing...must be a helluva specimen to be so all powerful.)

:eyes:

Infantile, pathetic fucks. New meme: "Republic" Party, the party of the Blame Game!

branches for last 6 years and the dems created the deficit?

What the FUCK is WRONG with republicans???

WHY WHY WHY can't they lead!!!!

The rethugs have the purse in their greedy sweaty mitts so how in the fock do you arrive at that bonehead conclusion?! DOH!! And this moron wants to be a pResident too? eee gads!

is ms. schiavo up and about yet bill? did the p.t. Rx you wrote for her get her back to a normal life? will you be practicing medicine when you leave the senate because if so the presidunce needs a good sturgeon to get his head out of his ass, he can be heard to mumble from way up around the transverse colon..."something smells fish up here!'.

Who haven't been in power in Congress since 1996?
The same ones whose president left a huge budget surplus?
The same ones forced to meet in backrooms and basements?

Or are there some others who these lawmakers actually listen to and whose budget polices they've chosen to adopt?

Yeah, Bill. Nice try, buddy.

I could say Kerry started the war in Iraq and walk away.

to add 7B to health, education and labor programs gutted by the repub budget, which dems supported.

Of course, Frist completely ignores Republican waste, irresponsible tax cuts for millionaires and outlandish military spending.

"Our Father, who art in Heaven,
It's their fault."

Democrat is not an adjective.

Boy, I hate that.

Rachel Maddow warned us about this..... that they woudl blame us for their failures...


WE just need to repeat the mantra, "Who holds the pursestrings here?" and "Would you rather spend on the American people, or to fix things they purposefully broke in Iraq?" "Who is spending money we don't have?"

that he believes the truth is whatever his supporters should hear to support and elect him.

This guy is the ultimate scumbag.. health care privitizing insider trader profiteer.. political oportunist with schivo case... american taliban suckup...corporate slave..false profit.. paste-on goody goody smile

what is up with American's and the media that he can get away with this ridiculous cliche that has no basis in reality, without question?

certianly it isn't from the planet reality. What an asshole.:wtf:

except those who want theocracy and fascism!

fly

Welcome to Ingsoc...and the method of reality control called doublethink which is the power to hold two completely contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accept both of them.
Maybe we can rename is "Republithink".

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't take it! I just can't take it! It has now become painful!!

yea, right

ppptthhhhhhhhhhtttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't work well for him.

This Republican President and this Republican Congress have added more debt than all the others combined and he knows it. Ergo, he's a bald faced liar and a con-man and not a very good one at that.

http://www.cedarcomm.com/~stevelm1/usdebt.htm

Since 1938 the Democrats have held the White house for 35 years, the Republicans for 33. Over that time the national debt has increased at an average annual rate of 8.7%. The Democratic yearly average (that is the years Democrats were in the White House) was an increase of 8.3%. The years while the Republicans ran the White House, during this same period; the debt increased an average 9.3% per year. Those averages are pretty close.



If you look at the debt starting with Truman’s term (and remove Roosevelt’s WWII debt) the difference between the two parties contributions to our national debt level change considerably. Since 1946 the Democratic Presidents increased the national debt an average of only 3.7% per year when they were in office. The Republican Presidents stay at an average increase of 9.3% per year. Over the last 59 years Republican Presidents have out borrowed Democratic Presidents by almost a three to one ratio. That is, for every dollar a Democratic President has raised the national debt in the past 59 years Republican Presidents have raised the debt by $2.87.

I need to be able to see the world the way you can and I suspect without perscpriotion electric lemonade I will be unable to bend my perceptions of reality sufficiently to be able to grasp what the hell you are seeing when it has been Repulican control for every year and Clinton left with a positive balance on hte books.

Bush has yet to use his veto.

How can Frist say this stuff with a straight face? His glorious leader spends like a drunken sailor on leave!

<salivating at the thought>

Proud winner of the "Whopper of the Month" award.

WOW

Too bad the dipshit won't understand it.

First off, when in doubt blame Clinton. For everything.

Second, the Clinton era saw budget surpluses. He did that on purpose, just to make Republicans look bad. Shame on him!

Finally, Clinton's tax policy didn't favor the super rich. If he had only been kind enough to pad their pockets like Bush43 has, the he (Clinton) too would have had runaway deficits, just like Reagan-Bush41 before him. But he didn't, and frugal conservatives are now made to look bad. If not for Clinton's deliberate fiscal policies, today's Republicans would not have so much explaining to do.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: that is all.

Ever since he diagnosed Mrs. Shiavo by watching a tape, I've been thinking how crazy he must be. The republicans own this mess, period. :boring: :thumbsdown:

what color the sky is in Rightwing World!
:eyes: :wtf: :eyes: :wtf: :eyes: :wtf:

It's like a broken record, Frist. You *know* that your side has spent a lot more on that war than we ever could, & yet you still blame us for the deficit. I would be angry, but I'm beginning to feel only pity for these people. They are so incredibly delusional, & they can't even see it. It wouldn't be so bad if these clueless morons weren't running the country. I don't think they should be running things. I think they all need mental-help at "Fascists-'r'-Us".

Oh, wait. All We need do is TELL the TRUTH.

WHO will join RUSS??????

Is the national debt agony to your hired day traders?

of cancer of the Body Politic.

I am not opposed to Old American-style politicking, which involves plenty of stretching and falsifying, but this is just so...Soviet.

We have trult reached another level here in the Empire.

By the way, if the Dems can field 'deficit hawk' candidates, they could win big on this issue at the polls.
