4. I guess they're going to try to keep it from going into another galaxy.
It's already blown through the roof, into the stratosphere under their "leadership :eyes:" so I guess they're going to try to stop it before it gets to Mars?

6. Keep repeating it, maybe someone will believe it
Eh, Dennis?

The numbers and the facts speak for themselves. Most thinking Americans know this and the others are catching on.

9. Sure, Hold the line while you are moving it
How many times have they raised the debt ceiling now? How do the press live with themselves when they let these things slide?

15. Don't do us any favors.



If he's talking about a 'line' on a graph, it's going upward at around 45 degrees.


We sure as hell don't need them to continue sending the US Treasury into bankrupcy.

16. They are trying to gain something with each one of these events
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 01:52 PM by Mountainman
Blame gays, blame Dems, Label Foley (D,FL), take no responsibility. Maybe they think we will drop it if it looks like it will have a positive effect on the repugs chances. Just goes to show you how damaging they think this can be.

18. How the fuck do they sleep at night?
I can't imagine the stress level involved in having to lie, cheat and steal at such a high level, on such a routine basis.

How do we weed these evil fuckers out of our government?

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
