    As my granddad used to say, don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

    “…he’s so outraged by GOP overspending, he’s quitting the party …

    “But he also said he wouldn’t support any cuts in defense, Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid — which, along with debt payments, would put more than two-thirds of the budget off limits.”

    “I’m outraged about something, but don’t do anything to actually fix it.”

    Still sounds like a Republican to me.

    The GOP is hovering near death…
    I’d call an ambulance, but I forgot the number for 911!

    It’s because he’s so principled.

    This was the guy who was going to get John McCain elected.

    Call 411 and ask the number for 911!

    Now he can found a new party– I think the “McLean Stevenson Party” sounds good.

    Or, failing that, cat, he can star in the latest TV to movie production, “Hello, Joe”.

    But does he feel as healthy as a bull moose?

    That approach – ‘cut wasteful government spending!’
    is starting to lose its appeal, as proponents are
    having an increasingly hard time identifying things
    the government spends money on that a significant
    plurality of the voting population wants discontinued.

    How much ARE we spendng on the mohair subsidy these
    days, Joe the Plumber?
