“After years of historic deficits, this new Congress will commit itself to a higher standard: pay as you go, no new deficit spending. Our new America will provide unlimited opportunity for future generations, not burden them with mountains of debt.
That was almost 3 years and some say $5-10 TRILLION DOLLARS in deficit spending ago.
This week people on the left mocked 300,000 Americans who took to the streets in a grass roots protest. They wanted to say that government spending is out of control. Those who did the mocking forget that in 2006 Republicans lost control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate because Republicans had spent too much money. They had run up a $400billion deficit on pork spending. Democrats-like Pelosi-lied, and they told the American people that if given control of Congress they would restore fiscal responsibility and end the war in Iraq.
That was almost 3 years ago.
How’re they doin’?
Mock the 300,000 people who protested against too much government spending, but do so at your own risk, because those are the very same people who voted out Republicans for doing far less spending; the very same people who were grossly lied to, misled, pandered, and played as tools by Democrats in 2006.
Those “teabaggers” as MSNBC hosts like to joke are the ones who will make Obama a lame duck President and vote him out of office if the trillions of dollars that he and the Democrats’ Congress don’t show some results soon. So far, despite literally giving away trillions of dollars, the Obama Administration’s own Treasury Dept and the Democrats’ Congress’ own Congressional Budget Office both agree…the economy has gotten worse-not better.

For some reason when I hear Pelosi, I think of Marie Antoinette and her statements, “let them eat cake.” Well…ignore the People as the French king and queen did at your peril. The People will not need a guillotine or a Revolution to depose Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Durbin, and the other kings and queens of tyranny. We have the ballot, pen, and our voices, which are more powerful.

Like absconding with the bank funds, then telling everyone they will only operate off the incoming deposits.
Bullshit! It will be more smoke and mirrors. They already have cornered themselves into so much discretionary spending that there is no way possible old Pelosi can back up those words. They have tested the winds and caught the smell of a Democratic seat massacre in 2010, so trying to con the taxpayers into the usual to head ’em off at the pass..
To quote H. L. Mencken, everything out of her mouth is a lie. Including the words and and the
“The People will not need a guillotine or a Revolution to depose Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Durbin, and the other kings and queens of tyranny.” But we are open to using them and I think the pitchforks and ropes are coming to D.C. soon. Even the severly retarded democrat voters will soon realize the severly retarded democrats politicians have lied to them and got deeper and deeper in their pocketbook.
C’mon, it’s only been 90 days since our Messiah descended from Heaven to free us all from the shackles of capitalism! It took Bush 8 years (after Clinton gave us budget surpluses) to f_ck up our economy with his illegal war on the peace loving Iraqis. He lied about WMD, so gazillions of people have died so we could have $2.00 a gallon gas and Dick Cheney and his Halliburton buddies could steal billions of dollars, money that could have fed all of the world’s hungry people for at least 100 years. You ignorant raving lunatic wing-nut Rethuglican tea-bagging losers make me puke!!
Give Obama a chance, or He’ll send hailstones of fire to burn your capitalist @sses off! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously, I hope the Tea Party wasn’t just a way for pissed-off people to blow off some steam. If we can maintain or even increase the passion, we might be able to develop such a huge snowball that come 2010 a large number of two-faced politicians will be gone – sayonara – good riddance. We should use the intervening time to review voting records and identify the worst of the career prognosticators on both sides of the Hill.
It will be more like 1 million people when it is all said and done. It is close to half a million now, but there are more Tea Parties today and over the weekend, and not all of them on Wed have been counted.
How do you know a politician is lying???
They open their mouths.
Also there are more Tea Parties on the way. The next one is July 4and there is also a food drive on June 6
I keep hearing about the surplus that bush inherited from clinton. lets keep in mind that clintons surplus was after the largest tax hike in history.
@wildman: Also it was not a surplus at all. It was cooked books that go it to a surplus a la Enron.
Tell me you knew she was lying.
When I see Pelosi, I just can’t get the Batman Joker image out of my mind. The sewn on lips and all.
I think of PalominoYeah, Nan… Whatever… blah… blah… blah!
