3. He lost me on page one

"No tax hike".

Never in history have politiians, even Republicans, failed to realize that taxes go up and down, depending on the needs of the nation at any given time.

They went up and down under Reagan, and he's their freaking god. If Reagan can see the need to raise taxes when you have to, and lower them when you can, why can't his admirers?

6. Reagan was their old god. Norquist is the new god

they're all required to pay homage to now.

4. It can probably pass...

both senate and house...it basically cuts nothing like entitlements and no tax revenues....

8. Pictures are better than words, because most of the GOPers never

learned to read. Their daddy paid someone else's kid to learn and pass tests for them, or just bought the school.
