Any, btw, if you are correct and sign was a reference to federal government occupation of America, what the hell do elections have to do with that?

They’re called public goods. The idea is that the government has to provide for various goods, as private industries have no stake in them, as they are non-excludable. This is econ 101 stuff, but I suppose people who think that the government should work for free don’t like to think about that kind of stuff.

Remember how Bill Clinton spent us into prosperity during the 1990s to get us out of recession? Yeah, me neither.

Considering that you were born yesterday, I imagine you wouldn’t.

Sorry, but don’t lecture me about history. What this is, in fact, is yet another Republican fuck-up that a Democrat needs to clean up (cf. 1932, 1992, and now 2009).

You guys? I hated Bush’s spending spree, particularly on Medicare expansion, education, farm subsidies, a pork laden transportation bill and energy. But I also knew that the Dems were thoroughly unserious when they whined about the deficit, with the last few months proving me right. You guys are managing to outspend the profligate Bush, congrats.

“The difference is that Bush II squandered the money on a failed occupation of Iraq and tax-cuts for George Soros.”

You are leaving out a recession in 2001 and an attack on NYC and VA that killed 3,000 Americans and led to an invasion of Afghanistan. I am surprised you missed these events, it was in all the newspapers.

“The stimulus package is aimed at creating jobs in a climate where unemployment is skyrocketing.”

You are confusing stated goals with outcomes. The government simply sucks money out of the economy and then pumps it back in. It creates nothing.

Remember how Bill Clinton spent us into prosperity during the 1990s to get us out of recession? Yeah, me neither.

“This is why nobody is taking you guys seriously, other than yourselves. Deficits are OK when a Republican is in charge, but only then.”

This is your most accurate comment. Republicans ought to be ashamed at the way they ran Washington under Bush. But the really sad part is how you guys are managing to make them look like true stewards of the public treasury.

Silly me, I thought that when Obama promised “change” and a “net spending cut” that he would reverse Bush’s spending habits. Instead he has chosen to double down.

No, but I would gladly take the freshman class of the 1995 Congress.

Time goes by so fast. Is it bi-annual fat joke already?

Kid. I’d be happy if you could DEFINE Federal Fascism.

Ah yes, the left’s tears of anger and bitterness are delicious. Bwaaahahahaha! You can’t “Daily Show” us into silence anymore, and it’s driving you nuts. The tax day tea party was a smashing success……..and there are more to come.

Ah yes, the right’s cries of preemptive victory are deliciously ironic. Bwaaahahahaha! You can’t “fake Secret Service” us out of supposedly public events anymore, and it’s driving you nuts. Democrats aren’t herding you into protest zones, they’re just pointing and laughing, And that’s driving you (even more) nuts too! The tea bagging parody parties continue to be a smashing success… and there are more to come.

You lost (by the largest mandate in forty years). Get over it!

Further proof of what the ultra-cons are truly after: pissing off liberals.

I don’t think enough people here grasp the significance of yomama’s otherwise idiotic remark, and felt it was worth pointing out…

“Daily Show” you into silence? What does that mean? Jon Stewart is coming to wingnut homes to put them in gulags?

No. In the wingnut mind, the mere existence of a popular, successful message which points out their lunacy and gets traction with the public == OPPRESSION!! The mighty manly right-winger is “silenced” in his terror of being relentlessly mocked! Apparently all Al Qadea needs to do to destroy the testosterone-brimming culture warrior is mock him a second time!

As always the right is guilty of what it casually accuses the left of… When Rush and Hannity whine about the fairness doctrine what they’re really saying is how terrible it is that anyone should be allowed to speak in public with views in opposition to their own, and even worse, have attention paid! Remember Rush’s comment about the only liberals that should be allowed to exist ought to be a few harmless ivory tower professors here and there so that the nation can “remember what they were like”. Why Limbaugh doesn’t just use the traditional method for reminding the commonweal about traitors, just stick their heads on pikes in the public square for all to see, is a bit of a mystery.

But this is the common mode of the wingnut fundamentalist for the last millennium or more. “You won’t allow me to burn that heretic? You’re oppressing me!!!” I am amazed that no dittohead drone has tried to put a bullet in Stewart’s head yet, I really am. More than a few wingnuts recognize that by being funny and popular (especially among the kids) Stewart is probably the single biggest threat to the thousand year Republican Reich.

jk! lol lol. omigod, you guys remember hearing that when we protested our tax dollars being spent on murdering people and installing puppet governments for nearly 8 years? totally.

Back in 2003 there were anti-war protests across the United States. In New York City alone there were 500,000 people protesting.

In total, in total across the entire country, there were an estimated 300,000 people in the Teabagging parties. And the biggest took place in Atlanta, which was only 15,000 people.

I’m not impressed.

And taking a look at the ‘off air’ clips I’ve seen, neither were a lot of the cheerleaders from Fox News.

Seriously, dude. We’re not trying to. Go for it.

No, but it’s credibility is.

Ding ding ding!

Wish they’d just man up and say it.

And can you choose a different sex act to name yourselves after next time? “Teabagging” has worn a little thin. I’m sure Dan Savage would be more than willing to help you out. I hear former senator Santorum is looking for work.
