It helps when you actually have an argument supported by more than emotional whining. Liberals don't. Unfortunately, 50% of the country buys into emotional whining. I'll let the reader decide which 50%
Do you want to know how to make a small fortune? Start with a large one and vote democrat.
Its the liberal way... throw money at a "problem"... However much of the funding is from the federal gov't..
What are they talking about? Conservative infrastructure?
Geez, I could've sworn the Conservatives were the ones without the infrastructure.
Yep, this is the latest liberal scam. I am reminded of the dog food story. First class company, lots of money, the best ingredients, super ad campaign, all for naught because the damn old dogs just wouldn't eat it.
When are the liberals going to learn that the American people just don't like what they are selling.
This is absurd. I can't believe that 80 millionaires could be so stupid. What in the hell are the liberals going to do once they rent the building?
Excellent!
This is the only part of the column that falls down. "Alternative television networks and newspapers"?? Certainly 24-hour cable TV news (Fox News, Cspan) has been critical, but Rush Limbaugh (talk radio) and the internet MUST be mentioned here.
Ideas that make sense to normal, traditional American families.
That's the "conservative infrastructure".
Last I heard, the Democrats were "trying to figure out what our core values are" (Senator Barak Obama) and hiring a professional linguistics dude to teach them how to lie better. The Democrats have also decided that they need to swallow hard and learn to fake the religion thing.
The liberal program writ large since the sixties has been a disaster. But liberals don't think that. They think they've had huge successes culminating with the Clinton years who of course enacted a number of successful laws that were originated by conservatives (welfare reform, tax reform) ...because The Great Fornicator knew that liberalism is bunk but couldn't admit it for obvious reasons. They think the only reason their programs aren't more successful is because stingy conservatives cut the money supply or killed their "successful" programs. Even after liberal program after liberal program was proven to be a disaster, they still believe in liberalism. Results don't matter to libs, only intentions.
Think tank? I'd call it a sewage treatment facility.
Ah... I've a term for that, "The Conspiracy of the Common Sense", which is why the Right Wing appears to have a Vast Conspiracy...
Welfare reform was signed by Clinton (even if it was watered down), but "tax reform"? Not during Clinton. The only thing we got from Clinton (who was elected in part on his lie to support "middle class tax cuts") was the largest tax hike in history.
It was Dubya who came along and cut taxes. That's why tax revenues to the federal government are now soaring, the deficit is coming down fast, and the economy is chugging along better than ever.
Apparently he did sign some kind of reform bill that allowed home sellers to not be taxed up to 500 grand on profits from selling their homes. Market analysts said that that has played a large part in the housing boom. Even Sean Hannity and a few other conservatives on NRO have mentioned that. I don't give Clinton much credit for too many things, but we have to give credit where credit is due. His biggest failures were in the areas of national security as is being currently proved. He was lucky in Bosnia, but that didn't involve national security. Ultimately Clinton was the luckiest and shrewdest pol I've ever seen. But his overall grade is in the minus category even if we disregard the Lewinsky scandal.
