Late Night: GOP Has Brilliant Brand-New Original Ideas — Tax Cuts, Wars
By: Thers
September 22, 2010

Oh goody. The Republican Party is going to unveil its Brand-New All-Original Ideas to Redeem America by announcing a Pledge to America, a bold new innovation that is so totally not a rehash of the Contract with America from the 1990s, which as you may recall didn’t work and was a load of asinine hooey, because “Pledge to America” has a different noun and preposition.

You can find the complete text of this Compendium of Cutting-Edge Conservative Thinking at the link; I’ve read the whole thing, and, well, that’s two and a half minutes of my life I won’t get back. Essentially, they Pledge to get rid of excessive spending on preposterous boondoggles by fully funding missile defense.

It’s about that level.

It is all astonishing but yet tediously predictable hooey and I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that the Democratic Party decided that it was vitally important to not behave like liberals who believe in liberal things, thus ensuring that the GOP will get to run and win again on the same ideological horseshit the spectacular failure of which led directly to the Democratic Party taking the House, Senate, and White House. That is a Whimsical Irony.

1. "Pledge to America".... Anyone else hear how loud that dog-whistle is? n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Typical pattern of the GOP driving the economy into the ground,

the democrats save it from going over the edge, and then the GOP repeats its program.

3. KKKutting Edge

4. Well at least the good thing is that even if they get elected, they never do what they say they will

so none of this will ever get done.

5. I wouldn't touch their fucking POS contract with a 10-foot pole

Those goddamned criminals can take it to hell with them.

6. And we can thank FireDogLake for helping the Republicans cover that fact up.

By endlessly trashing Obama and Democrats in general, and by making common cause with Grover Norquist--GROVER NORQUIST--to attack and berate the Dems as corrupt, evil, and not worthy of being in office.

7. Oh! It must be time to slam liberals, progressives.

All together now.

Repeat after me.

The "professional left are a bunch of fucking retards".

Way to go Rahm! Our working class hero!

9. Funny, since 88% of liberals still support Obama.

It's the FDL crowd, the Naderites, and the screaming Obama haters who are trashing the mainline base of the Democratic Party.

10. "It's the FDL crowd, the Naderites .... who are trashing the base of the Democratic Party." Huh?

"It's the FDL crowd, the Naderites .... who are trashing the base of the Democratic Party."

Of course.

Thanks for the info.

Gibbs and Rahm Emanuel are always applauding and complementing the work of the "fucking retards" in the "professional left".

11. Clearly you have no interest in addressing my acual point.

So have fun living inside your bubble where you're not a tiny minority of the Democratic Party.

8. Tax cuts for the rich + Wars =

Wealth for 2% + poverty for everyone else.
