Paul Begala derp post: How Republicans Screwed The Pooch

thought it was you

And I agree with you, and will add my opinion that inability to reform the system means that whether one favors reform or simply doing away with (most of) the government, the result will be the same.
 
Obama has just an 8% (minus margin of error, so, closer to 3-4%) edge over "republicans in congress" among independents, and that's WITH the entire media establishment backing obama and spinning everything to cover for his fail...
 
Our current system of stock markets means that in probably 99.9% of cases, a shareholder possesses zero access to information that would grant him a reasonable opportunity to gain awareness of corporate misdeeRAB. I'm certainly fine with shareholders gaining liability, but it doesn't seem to be feasible under our current system.


Example: Granny going to jail because her pension manager got her some Enron stock doesn't seem all that reasonable to me.
 
A couple things.

1: The bush tax cuts did not heavily favor the rich, the greatest beneficiaries of the tax cuts were the middle and lower classes, thanks to the child tax credit.

2. There was no bush era deregulation that had anything to do with our current crisis.
 
More than that! They've been shooting themselves in the foot trying to get at the tea party movement

The race card apparently didn't do much of anything to hurt the movement, which in effect legitimizes racism Now NBC resorted to hiring a shrink to come on air and say the tea party is made up of addicts
 
Well, I assumed conservatives liked the idea of deficit and debt reduction. Having this premise in mind, I presented evidence that conservatives not long ago practiced the exact opposite in policy making, and that many of the same people who enacted these policies are still around, but have flip-flopped. Excuse me for being presumptuous, but it is this very flip-flop I wished to talk about.
 
Tax cuts: Obama extended them.
Wars: Obama still has them going and even went into Libya.
Prescription drug plan: Obama hasn't done anything about them, even when he had 2 years with a super majority.

Any other durab questions?
 
That's a cool story and all, but it seems worth mentioning that Congress as a whole generally always has a much lower approval rating than the president, or any individual -- much like "generic Republican/Democrat" is usually more popular than a real person would be.

Therefore I have to wonder if that poll included a question about Congressional Democrats so that we could compare fairly, and if not why not? I'm sure you have some keen insights to share on that question
 
I suggest you go back and re-read the part you bolded and asked for comments on. I suggest you follow that up with a re-read of your post that I was quoting from there. If you still think that the bolded part from the article and the follow up comments in your quoted post are the same thing, then I'll be happy to explain why I think they aren't.

I also suggest you don't take it so personally next time your bait casting doesn't get the response you were looking for
 
whats all this about marxism and the tea party being similar? If this were the case then why the hell does the tea party support assholes like boehner and paul ryan? Not to mention entitlement reform over defense spending reduction. Moreover, what was all the "THERES A COMMUNIST IN THE WHITE HOUSE" shit from last year?
 
I realize not every conservative is part of a monolithic group of people, but explain to me why government encroachment has suddenly become an issue for you if it was not five or so years ago.
 
It's cool ... the American public already knows who fucked shit up.



For more than a year, President Obama has received less than 50% approval for his handling of
the economy, but more Americans trust him (47%) than the Republicans in Congress (33%) to
be its steward. Views are highly partisan: three in four Republicans trust merabers of their own
party in Congress, while 83% of Democrats trust the president. Independents are more divided
– and 22% of them trust neither.

Trust More to Make Decisions about Economy
All Reps Dems InRAB
Republicans in Congress 33% 76% 5% 31%
President Obama 47 12 83 39
Both 3 2 1 5
Neither 14 9 8 22



Americans continue to blame the deficit on the previous administration. 44% say the Bush
administration is most to blame for the current deficit; 15% blame the Obama administration.
Another 15% blame Congress.
 
Hey, feel free to turn a blind eye to the results about how the Tea Party movement's favorability EVEN AMONG REPUBLICANS dropped from 49% to 22%.


Not too many people care for a movement represented by people so unwilling to compromise that they'll garable the economy away for it.
 
Oh I'm beginning to understand your point now.

It's something like

"i don't have to explain myself. if you cannot see the world as i do you are blind"

In other worRAB, rather than discuss your reasoning in a rational manner you choose to deflect any inquiry to the void. Good luck getting your way when nobody wants to deal with you.
