RE :”Taken as a group, they have sold us out completely.

Maybe so, but our prostitutes are still much better than theirs. How do I know? they say the things that we want to hear more often.

2) excuses
3) diversionary symbolic votes

RE :”” take a meataxe to the ‘budget’ and then see how much cash is needed to support the Constitutional requirements of gubmint...

More like a nailclipper.

How about that 2011 deficit reduction budget where the cuts were less than the increased military spending so it increased spending from the previous year? but the important thing is they blamed it on Obama.

One thing is for sure.....if we win the election, the GOP will have had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it. We will have won because a few Americans figured out that Obama is an enemy of the United States.

RE :”One thing is for sure.....if we win the election”

unfortunately, as big of a POS as the bambam is, and the destruction he will attempt in a 2nd term is a given...

the other guys might be worse in the grand scheme of things, 20-30 yrs out...look at the damage being wrought with most of Ws signature *achievements* only 5-10 yrs out...

another poster wrote that the choice is between a heart attack and cancer...i think that sums it up pretty well...
