this is the only reason why I think them not coming up with a deal would be a good thing.
Its the only possible way that defense will get cut.

7. It makes sense once you realize that the party was taken over by Reagan Republicans (the third way |
|
shares all of the values of Reagan)
You must remember that now that only fascists are allowed in the real Repub party, all those republicans that have no where else to go have been welcomed with open arms and given leadership positions in our party. Rahm Emanuel was one of the most enthusiastic greaters in our new wall Mart style party.
It all makes sense once you understand the Republican Ideals that are now valued most by Democratic leadership, the money comes to those that love Reagan, The Heritage Foundation, and the US Chamber of commerce, all the legislation passed the past three years comes largely from those three sources (this includes the love of the Military Industrial Complex and its need for unlimited money).

6. 1811 dead and 13,000 + maimed is just the cost of doing business. |
|
Yes, I said business. There is no noble justification for this war, it's all bullshit. It all boils down to making more money for rich people.
