So when libtards change the constitution it is noble and in the finest tradition, but when conservatives try to get back to the foundation of the document it is considered “radical”?

Do I have that right? ***chrissy, there is some spittle on your chin..***

Matthews had a few lucid moments a while back but the old urges have returned with a vengeance and now he's back splashing around in the shallow end of the pool.

I know a few Republicans that need to join Promise Keepers, wash their lying mouths out with soap and kick their own behinds for letting the country deteriorate.

But as for being radical...yea, about as radical as lukewarm spit. Selfish maybe but not radical.

Chrissy is so hen-pecked by his Queen Kathlkeen, as he calls her, that he gets a TINGLE for Obama.

Liberals change the Constitution without bothering to go thru the onerous amendment process. Just judge-shop till you get one that buys your line of bull.

But conservatives are dangerous because some have talked of making minor changes thru the very process spelled out in the Constitution.

BTW, I wish people would stop talking about such amendments. Give the super-majorities required, it just isn’t going to happen for anything even slightly controversial. When morons can’t get a bill thru Congress or don’t like a judicial decision, they immediately start talking amendment. If you can’t win an election or impeach judges you don’t like, then you certainly won’t be able to get an amendment through, which is orders of magnitude more difficult than either.

In fact, every amendment ever passed has had overwhelming support, not surprising given the requirements for passage. The only exceptions are the post-Civil War amendments, which were passed using somewhat (ahem) shady tactics, arguably invalidating them. Not that such a claim would ever be upheld.

The ads the Republicans should be running is the list of RAT travesties that went on when they were fully in charge before for 40 years. The check cashing scandal - Rostenkowski going to jail for thievery and all of the other things that they did.

We should have a thread with everything that anyone remembers about the arrogant way that they 'ruled' when they had the power.

They got elected again this time because people either forgot or never heard about 'the good old RAT days'.

What happened during the Bush years that they keep harping about, is a drop in the bucket compared to what the RATS did the last time that they held power & obviously what they are doing now that they are in power again.

Sorry I am not going to take Pledge to America seriously until I see the red pencil come out and identify specific cuts to programs. I have some ideas that might ruffle feathers in both directions.

As far as the Laffer Curve working with Bush’s tax cuts and even lower marginal rates will be even better, go back and take a look at the evidence. Look at unemployment under Clinton and then Bush. Sorry I need something more to hang my hat on. We start a $1T+ war with Iraq without a funding source, and we wonder why our budget is in the toilet. At 70% I am pretty darn sure we are the other side of the curve. At current rates I am not convinced (especially with the evidence of the higher rates under Clinton). What appears to have happened with the Bush cuts was an early but unsustainable increase in the revenue stream. I really don’t see ill effects from when Clinton increased the top tax rate from 31% to nearly 40%. We had a strong period of economic growth, had our federal deficit down, etc.

The Republicans have become a one trick pony (tax cuts). I am sorry to say this given that I do have conservative leanings, but come up with a list of recommended specific cuts with reasons.

Granted I can’t vote for the other guys either, but I guess I will sit at home this November.

When times are good you don’t run deficits so that when times are bad, you have some flexibility.

Matthews displays several of the 13 chatacteristics of Down Syndrome, and his face looks like a partially developed fetus. I'm pretty sure that the end of his brain stem looks like a lollipop, with a tiny ball of semi-developed brain hovering in the relatively massive cavity of his largely empty head.

His ability to process information and respond like a rational adult is severely impaired. If [when?] he kills somebody, the jury will likely find him unfit to stand trial by reason of arrested development. He acts and talks like a six-year-old, and while this is an over-simplification, so is he.

8^D

I think Chrissy is close to being certifiably insane and I’m serious.

>>We had a strong period of economic growth, had our federal deficit down,<<

I owned a computer store during that “economic growth” people like to trot out. We, in the industry” knew darn well what a dangerous bubble that was. Anyone with marketing skills who started a web site could get millions in funding because of the erroneous belief that “it was time” for the internet to “take over” as the marketplace was pervasive in the sphere of the investors.

We knew it was too early, the public just was not as confident, and the technology was not refined enough. The Christmas season of 1999 was going to be the zenith. I, and many others in the industry, knew it was totally unreal and a movie set façade. We could see a crash coming.

In November of 1999 I sold my Computer store fully expecting the crash. The next March the business and the internet business that went with it were worth less then a quarter of what I sold it for. The “economic growth” under Clinton was mostly because of a false economy built on the Internet Bubble that was years too early.

He is under incredible pressure to skew younger (say, younger than his AARP median); and he’s also a sick sick man. In the head. Malaria never goes away, it just goes into remission.

You know I really thought the media would quit covering for a beyond corrupt President. Last week Matthews was admitting the democratic failure. Now he is back working for Obama I see.

PATHETIC! I am sick to death of the liberal Obama media journOlists covering for Obama.

Your post never mentioned that even though government revenue went up significantly because of the tax cuts, government spending went up even faster. You wrote that the Clinton tax increase was OK but you ignore the recession his policies caused in 1999-2000. I believe that out of control government spending is what got us where we are now; not tax cuts and not the war. Granted, fighting wars is expensive but the DoD is only about 20% of the federal budget. What about the other 80%? BTW, the deficit was steadily declining for a few years until the ‘Rats took over congress in 2006 and started spending like crazy. It does not matter what the feds can raise in revenue unless spending is brought under control. The federal government is easily capable of running a deficit even if they took 100% of GDP every year. As far as sitting at home in November goes, I think that too many people did that in 2008 and it is partly why we have Barky for a President now.

How can a Liberal Democrat Hack have a show called Hardball, and be taken seriously? He must have someone fooled.
