The Tea Party Did the Right Thing

We will see who they support in the next election. Likely big spending Republicans who say they are not big spenders.
We'll see if they support those types more than once. Here in CO the Republican Party Anointed are losing and getting destroyed leaving only the TEA Party supported candidates. I hope they make the difference I'd like to see. I spent 7 years of Bush's Presidency saying, "It's the spending, stupid!" and hacked off at his policy. I'm pretty sure they'd form a third party and finish off the GOP if they ignore fiscal conservatism again.

We have a new President who is addicted to spending, and we can't afford his habit. First it is necessary to defeat his policy by taking at least one house of Congress away.

And this reflects gov't spending....how again?

Bush spent like a madman throughout his Presidency. Do you know how much Iraq alone cost? How 'bout the energy & transportation bills during his Presidency (and well before "the end of his tenure")? He increased public spending 70%.

You need to do some research. This is seriously embarassing.
 
My god. Can someone take Yurt aside and give him a remedial tutorial on the difference between government spending and government deficits. He's horribly confused.

so deficits and spending are not related? interesting....i better never take econ class from your teachers....

i see you still can't produce a single link to support your claims...coward

This is embarrassing. Really. Acknowledge you fucked up. It isn't too tough.

yep, the bulk of spending came at the end....oh, don't believe me....

In his last term in office, President Bush increased discretionary outlays by an estimated
48.6 percent. The largest increase took place in his last year and included, among other
things, the $700 billion financial industry bailout bill (TARP) and the federal takeover of
Government-Sponsored Enterprises Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

same link....nigel and onceler are left eating crow
 
i was just getting warmed up you hyper ventilating morons...deficits are an integral part of the budget, if bush was spending a lot and reducing the deficit, then that spending is not necessarily a bad thing, hence why the tea party folks and others weren't rising up yet....

to ignore the deficit when we are talking about spending stupid and shows you both are nothing but hacks

LOL

Biggest backtrack I've seen in awhile.

Where were the TEA folks when Cheney announced that "deficit spending doesn't matter?"

You have been thoroughly embarassed here. I've seen you debate spending before, and assumed you knew what it was.

My bad.

i was getting warmed up, the inititial links were about deficit, which is an integral part of spending and then i found the spending graphs and links, i had to wade through partisan links to get one you both wouldn't whine about it

i am not surprised you can't admit you were wrong....my link shows you're an idiot and you so far haven't offered one single link

coward

:palm:

Nah - you weren't "getting warmed up." You were trying to apologize for the TEA folks, who clearly have a double-standard when it comes to spending, that splits along party lines. No one denies NOW that Bush spent like crazy, and never met a spending bill he didn't like.

You don't really go out of your way to call out double-standards & hypocrisy (your forte) on the right, though. That is well documented here.
 
Just to bring it all back to where it started...before Yurt started spinning like mad.

did you read the link i gave you? obviously not, else you wouldn't be making such a stupid comment...the link is pdf, so i can't copy the graph, but i did copy the numbers and if you bothered to actually follow the link you will see a massive change in 2009

you're wrong onceler and its hilarious that i actually back my claim up and you don't have the honesty to admit your error, nor the fortitude to offer any links of your own....all you're offering is YOUR OPINION

:cof1:
 
Not just that he didn't want to remove the 10 Commandments. The fact that he had the monument installed in the Alabama Supreme Court lobby in the middle of the night, and refused to allow any other displays. Then defied the court order to remove the monument.

He also stated, in an interview with the Anniston Star (when he was a circuit court judge) that he would not guarantee a fair trial to anyone who was not judeo-christian.

He was quoted as saying “restoration of the moral foundation of law to our people and a return to the knowledge of God in our land.”. He wants a theocracy.

thanks... I was unaware of his comments to the Star.

What do you think of the fact that Moses is depicted on the Supreme Court building with the ten commandments in DC?
 
Yeah - I'll have to remember that "getting warmed up" line if I ever try to apologize for lefties by throwing out bogus, poorly researched claims that are easily debunked (not likely that I'll ever do that, mind you...)

go and click the link, you're just making yourself look even more stupid, quite embarrassing....

no wonder you're afraid to post links, you don't have any that substantiate your phony claim :cof1:

what was debunked? are you saying the deficit spending from that graph is wrong? you're trying so very hard to not admit you royaly fucked up here...

:clink:
 
One thing that I know is that my issues have been forced to the front in this election cycle. I like that. Nobody is running against homosexual marriage as their foremost platform, they are running against runaway spending, unprecedented government debt, bad "stimulus" policy that tries to lift only political allies... Against unconstitutional mandates on individuals, so much so that suddenly the Administration changes from "It's not a tax" to... "Well, it's a tax!" because they know their argument for constitutionality is weak.

These are good things to run against.
 
Again, since you seemed to have forgotten what you were trying to claim....

good lord, are you really thsi stupid or are you so dishonest you can't admit you are wrong....have you actually read the report? yes or no

and for the third time
