Bill Kristol to GOP: Use debt deal to win White House

Fox News contributor Bill Kristol said Sunday that by not overselling the debt deal, Republicans could later use it to win the White House.

�Assuming happens, I think Republicans will have to say to their constituents and the country, you negotiate the debt ceiling agreement with the president you have,� he told Fox News� Bret Baier. �This is the best we could get and the responsible thing to do, but they should not oversell it.�

�It is not a great deal in my opinion. It�s an adequate deal, perhaps, if defense spending isn�t cut too much. And it certainly doesn�t fundamentally deal with the debt problem we have or the economic problems we have,� Kristol added.

2. If DU has Its Way . . .

. . . then Kristol will be a prophet and we'll have President Romney undoing every piece of civil rights legislation, making abortion illegal, etc., backed by the five fascists on the Supreme Court.

But, hey, let's all stay home in November 2012.

PSST - - left-wing nihilism isn't any better than the right-wing version.

3. If someone's driving a car, and you're following them...

Wherever they wind up, you'll be there too. Just a few seconds later.

Only real progressives can help this country. The other kind are taking us to the EXACT SAME PLACE as the pukes.

6. Unless You Turn Off

Didn't see anything in the bill that can't be remedied by a better Congress in January 2013, this time with more progressive and less Blue Dog.

4. Bill Kristol

has a consistent record of being wrong on everything. He is the idiot who went on a cruise to Alaska and met/fell for Palin - pushed for her to be the VP choice.

Let them run on the debt ceiling - the message for the Dems will be that it is OUR Party who saved Social Security and Medicare. THAT will be the winning message IMO.

7. He is a dunce, disaster, and a serious danger - a PNAC clown who is devious and vile.

Edited on Mon Aug-01-11 11:35 PM by peacetalksforall

He has never had a care about humanity. He is the
founder or co-founder of PNAC, now dissolved and
he started over with a fresh PNAC - since the original
will probably be in trouble with the law when
Congress gets real about 9-11.

9. Maybe Republicans will listen to Bill Kristol? Be still, my heart.

This is the guy who advised Dan Quayle in 1992. That worked out so well for them.

10. Has Bill Kristol been right about anything?

He never spouts anything but Neo-Con talking points.

I have a theory - He was never born from his mother. Instead, his father created a non-thinking robot in his image, and programmed it to only spout PNAC / Neo-Con talking-points, and nothing else.
