That's why in 2006 Nancy Peolsi won the gavel.
Then from 2007 on she showed us just how the GOP is amateurs when it comes to debt spending.

Then in 2010 we took the gavel from her highly botoxed hand and handed it to the man you call Boner.
Now the adults have the checkbook, and you guys are throwing fits like spoiled children in the aisle of Toys R Us.


 
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Anyone have the chart on the spending from 2001 to today that notes when democrats took control?  I'm too lazy to look it up.

5. Part of their long-term plan to eviscerate federal government
 was to create huge deficits, that would prove that government is inefficient!
:rofl:

Lots of DUmmies have a short fuse today. The shock of Kloppenmas has them all discombobulated. I think they all need a nap.

That and the pending Govt shutdown.
This is like Fitzmas for us conservatives.
We get to celebrate for 24 business hours.

IIRC, the federal government NEVER spent 8 times the revenues it received in a month until Obumbles came along.

Darn. That's the first time I've seen that graph. That is indeed a cliff. It actually looks like my income since the dims took control of congress.

The language! and this is the guy who was supposedly as cool as a cucumber in his sleeveless shirt in the Shop Rite parking lot when confronted by a guy in Army fatigues complaining about the Sue-Nam-E in Japan?

BTW, refresh my memory, when did spending get out of control? was it

A) Before the Democrats took over in 2007?

B) After Democrats took over in 2007?

War in Iraq...over this year
War in Afghanistan...over in a few more years
War on Poverty...born 1964, now sucking down more Federal resources than everything else, combined

Now, DUmmies...whose fault is it that our country is tanking?   :banghead:

When did fiscal conservatism end?  When was the last time the Fed's budget was balanced, or, (gasp) they spent less than they took in?

I honestly can't point to a specific year.  But, it was before my time, and the ones driving the gravy train have been from both parties.

Where's the fiscal discipline Obama campaigned on?

The TEA Party campaigned on fiscal discipline. You'd think Obama and the dems would thank them for helping Obama live up to his promises.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

****ING REPUBLICANS, WHERE WAS YOUR "FISCAL DISCIPLINE" DURING THE BUSH YEARS?

The whole argument is is based on false premises. For starters theres a diff between republicans and conservatives ... the one doesnt necessitate the other.

Who said we arent a party with a 'big tent'?

Janice (aka the 'purist' according to one or two folks on the board.)
Reagan bankrupted the Soviet Empire ...

Obama is bankrupting the American Republic
