If the Obamanation gets the nod, this needs to be posted on the front page or something.

i think if Obama goes up against McCain .. and that's looking like the outcome here, he will have to explain all of this in great detail and McCain does have a record of being very, very anti taxes and anti spending.

i think McCain is going to smoke this youngster but good.

DUmmies like to bitch about the war, and how much it's costing us, but according to many sites the war has cost about 495 billion since '02. He's promising 850 billion right out of the barrel.

Now, remind me what the DUmmies are bitching about? Do they even know? Or are they just playing off of each other like mindless robots?

Nevermind, it's rhetorical.

They had some woman on Cavuto who got uppity when he backed her into a corner on Obama spending. I couldn't stomach to watch it but what I did see was her saying that the money would come from bringing the troops home and taxing the "rich". But she wouldn't answer the "He's going to have to raise taxes" question. *eyeroll*

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Like somebody else said.... the libs don't give a damn about cutting and running from Iraq to pay into the deficit or whatever.... they really don't give a shit how much of our money is spent, as long as it's towards frivilous social programs that keep people dependent on the government.

It goes further than that.

At the automotive plant he spoke at yesterday he said he would shift money spent fom the war into his socialist work programs. That's a direct admission that the war isn't costing too much money.

Yup, bitching and moaning about how expensive the war is, is just a DUmmie talking point that means absolutely nothing. They are in NO position to talk about how much ANYTHING costs, because they are the ones always sticking their grubby fingers in the pocketbook.

They don't really care about how much the WOT costs per se, they just use that tool to impugn something RIGHT that the Republican party is responsible for.

they haven't counted the .7% of GDP (apx $850B over 13 years) for the "global poverty act" on the obama-spend-o-meter yet.

Exactly! As long as the money is being spent on something HE likes and that his followers like, it doesn't matter. *eyeroll*

it has always been my impression that liberal opposition to the war is partly philosophical (or pseudo-philosophical), and partly just reflex.  complaining that the money spent on the war would be better spent at home is just an attempt to make their unreasoned position seem reasonable.

it's not like liberals have ever had a problem with deficits.

See that, Wretch, a basic tenant of liberalism is to spend money "at home", and B.O. takes that to a whole.nother.level when he wants to send all this money to impoverished countries...bankrupting us while doing so.

Basically, he's out there buying votes with all of his "programs".  Perhaps it should be expected that he use some of his money to pay for maybe half of it? :popcorn: :whatever: :-)
