just a few weeks back they had no problem with adding a couple hundred billion to the deficit for the rich

their hypocrisy is overwhelming....

the lies are coming fast and furious....

1. The 700 billion to two trillion
Dollars that will result from keeping the Bush tax cuts in play over the next ten years, that is far more a burden to the deficit than the HCR bill. (Not that I am a huge fan of the HCR Act as it is written.)

4. They lie without compunction...and then act insulted if you call them on it.
They are absolutely the kind of people who would tell you it is raining when they are peeing on your shoes.

5. How are they handling the CBO report that says HCR reduces the deficit?

6. Remember, to Republicans, the CBO is only valid
when it is favorable to Republican rhetoric ...
