Conversation with friend who claims to be "conservative"
Talking about the debt ceiling. Talking about how broken things are in Washington.
She asked me what I thought and I said we needed a clean bill. Not paying our bills is unconstitutional.
I asked her what she thought. She said..."we need to withdraw from the UN". Long pregnant pause from me. I mustered up a question of "why"?
She really couldn't explain her answer....

2. Fair tent last week (Dems). Some guy walks up a says
"Obama is a communist!"
So I ask - "can you tell me just what a communist is and how Obama fits that model?"
He looked around up and down for about 30 seconds. Then he turned and walked away, and turned back and said "Obama's a communist."
I'll bet you this dumb **** will vote.

3. parroting talking points.
I am still shaking my head wondering where leaving the UN is going to help the debt ceiling.
These people are crazy.
I am still shaking my head wondering how increasing the debt ceiling and continuing to add to the deficit is going to help our country.

Joe Biden said that we have to spend money to make money . That is all they need to know.

That only works, if the money you are spending gives you some kind of return. Merely pissing it away, and funding DUmmies beer, and travel money has no return.

“Well, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’†Biden said. “The answer is yes, I’m telling you.â€

But every dollar spent on welfare puts a Brazillion dollars back into the economy. Nancy Pelosi said so. /DU mode

Democrat politicians never spend money on their boondoggles.
They "invest" in their boondoggles.

High five for beating me to the Slow Joe explanation.

Give me one (non military) Federal Government success.
I define success as coming at, near, or under budget, and which actually does what the governemnt says it's going to do. Hell, even NASA, which was pretty darn successful, had been a money hole for decades.

lol and she's about as reliable as Nadin. :rotf:

But remember according to a certain Buick driver (and other dummies) for every 1$ spent about 1.84$ is returned to the local economy.
Somehow...Joe Biden said that we have to spend money to make money . That is all they need to know.
I worked with someone for a long time who said this very thing. They would get a new idea and go spend money on it and this was their excuse, that they had to spend it to make it. It didn't work for them, ever.

That's where your friend went wrong.
YOU are not supposed to spend the money.
YOU are supposed to give your money to government, and THEY are supposed to spend it.

It works fantastically well, when it's someone else's money and you're getting paid and otherwise rewarded for spending it...which is the flawed dynamic of the government that has us where we are today.

Those were the two laziest-assed bouncies I've ever seen. They didn't even bother with a plot. Like a porno.
Oh, and Obama is a Communist. He was raised as one.
-
She said..."we need to withdraw from the UN"
I posted the same thing for my second post at DU. I never made three before I was served lunch.
-
You have to spend money, not only to not go bankrupt but also to improve your profit to earnings ratio.
-
To be fair , the saying "You have to spend money to make money" is true, for businesses that want to expand, not governments.
-

Big difference there. A plot is necessary for a good bouncy. In porn, it's just a waste of time.

But, at least a porn flick is something that some people want to see (consume).

your profit to earnings ratio.
:lmao: I'd completely forgotten about that particular gaffe! It was early on, IIRC, and it was a dark foreshadowing of just how little he knew.

Yeah, sweetheart that's great.
Your break is over, there's a line going out of the trailer park.

Surprised she'd use that term.
Anything pregnant around Horse with no Brain is likely to be stabbed with a suction hose.

I disagree. All pornos have a plot. The plot? Someone is getting screwed.
Not that I have ever watched a porno, mind you. <halo smiley>
Gotta run... got some vids to watch. :-)
