Scarborough Shocked to Find Republicans Bankrupting Nation......
Good Ol' "Citizen Joe" is shocked to find the Chimp Administration he helped elect is out to screw us:

Congressional memo to future generations: You're screwed (Joe Scarborough)

Take it from a not-so-old former congressman who knows: Proud young Americans, you are in for a con job from Washington that you can't even imagine.

Your government has already borrowed almost $8 trillion that it can't pay back. Guess who will have to write the check? That's right. You.

<snip>

And guess what these politicians who have already straddled you with an $8 trillion debt plan to do as soon as Congress gets back in session?

No, guess. Really. You'll love this.

They plan to plunge America into debt by $2 trillion more dollars!

<snip>
And— let me see if you are following me here— who pays for that?

That's right. YOU!

<snip>

What an asshole.

2. Scarborough had someone on the other night re: vote fraud.
Someone else mentioned he was criticizing Bush on some other issues, too.

I suspect if any Reps in the media decide to break ranks and start telling the truth, Scarborough just might be the one. Yeah, he's conservative and way to the right of center on social issues, but he's also a fiscal conservative. We should encourage him to keep speaking out against whatever he believes are bad policies of this administration. AFter all, he's speaking to those we can't reach--the die-hard Faux news fans.

Plant enough seeds of doubt, and you never know what may sprout.

;-)

12. Yes, he is a fiscal conservative, but......
Joe has overlooked/ignored/rationalized every other evil aspect of this administration. You'll also notice that he lays this at the feet of Congress and "Washington". Dude is sore afraid to name the Fuhrer as the one leading this fiscal debacle. Wasn't Scarborough also a fan of the tax breaks for the rich?

10. Ran someone over?
I've always suspected he coshed someone on the head, but I didn't know he was running people down as well.

15. Oops Pickles ran someone over, Joe didnt
My bad, I tried to edit after I realized I'd given him extra credit.

I was confusing his storied background with Pickles'.

7. I'm emailing the moron and asking him why he voted
for Bush. He knew this would happen. Of course Bush wasn't going to raise taxes to pay for the privatization of SS. Just more loans our kids will pay for. Seriously, Joe, what the fuck did you think would happen? Idiot.

He licked his finger, stuck it in the air and noticed that the wind was blowing from the left.

To quote someone else who posted here in this thread : "FU Joe".

9. Yes, it's phoney of him
to just happen to notice this right after the election, but solving the problem right now is really, really, really important, so I'll take rhetorical support wherever I can find it -- even from this clown.

You tell 'em Joe.

I totally agree, and I am SO stealing that turn of phrase.

I promise, I'll do little quote marks with my fingers when I use it. :D

14. but it's laid on "Washington" and Congress...
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 12:32 PM by grumpy old fart
He still doesn't have the stones to get his head out of Chimp's ass and name the Monkey King as the culprit. There are still many red state morons who "hate Washington", but have a total disconnect that "Washington" is * and his henchmen.

Don't pay it back at all to the bankers who have screwed this nation and to the foreign (many of whom are Saudi totalitarians and Chinese Communists) investors who are buying up this nation at a discount.

if that happens. It would make Argentina's fall from grace look like a perfectly executed triple salchow.

27. SAY HIS NAME YOU PIECE OF SHIT SCARBOROUGH
SAY HIS NAME!!! Utter the name of the one RESPONSIBLE, ultimately, for all of this.

I DARE you.

Say it. BUSH. BUSH. BUSH.

And since you seem to love guessing games, you turdbag, when you blame the "politicians in Washington" guess who you are blaming?

THE REPUBLICANS.

SAY it.

Notice, please, that he doesn't name a party OR its de facto leader when he levels these criticisms.

He says just so much, but not enough.

Typical. Fuck him.

28. Hello, don't bother to wake up now; it's already too late
Could have used another talking head on our side leading up to the election. Sorry, a little too late for us now. Probably just wants to be competitive in the ratings game now that Keith is probably beating his ass.

On a side note, it will cost 2 TRILLION dollars to privatize social security that we will have to, yes, BORROW.

I don't recall anybody asking that we "fix" social security. I wish this excuse for a president would stop offering solutions to problems we do not have and start solving the problems that DO exist.

Dude seriously needs his head examined. He has lost his marbles.
