I swear, aside from tax cuts, I keep hearing that we are burdening our children and grandchildren. Well, I actually agree with that part of it, but they didn't utter a word when they were adding 5 trillion dollars to it. Argh

2. Vitter doesn't understand what job creation is
He keeps talking about spending all this money on the FBI building, DHS building, ETC and says that there is no job creation there. How about all the people that will be employed in the construction? He must be thinking about those high paying lobbyist jobs.

5. Ask the "Whoreth Estate"
I wondered in 2004 why the Swift Boaters were given so much air-time to trash a decorated war veteran while never investigating the President's desertion in time of war.

Simply incomprehensible...

6. Many hear were asking that when the GOP's puppets were spending like drunken sailors
* apologies to any drunken sailors in the audience; we know none of you could EVER run up the bills bush/cheney and their cronies on the Hill did.

The only deficits the GOP hates is any run up while actually helping America and Americans.

depression on purpose to give us all the experience of becoming a better people and uniting to overcome our problems.

I just made this bullshit up, but I'll bet you hear something similar from former Bushites very soon - history is being changed and truth rewritten right before your eyes.

Republics always lie, even when there is no reason for it - it's just business as ususl for them.

13. Once again, I have to ask this question
They are all railing that "This bill stinks", and we are passing along the debt. We did that for years under Bush, and not a peep.
