Wouldn't it be great to be able to bring back JFK, Scoop Jackson and Byron Raymond "Whizzer" Whit? Those were the days.

JustDoIt 10 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Imnot sure where you are going with this, but JFK would be considered right wing nowadays. And if his only Supreme Court nominee Byron Raymond "Whizzer" White been nominated in the 1990's or 2000's he would have been tared and feathered by Ted Kennedy. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 the policies that Ronald Reagan supported would get him called a Rhino today and not a true Conservative or Republican Smaller government, lower taxes, pro life? Those policies? I think the desire to rewrite history to create a false narrative for the purpose of creating a straw man to paint conservatives as being something they are not is clearly relying on the need for people to not think.

Balloon guy 158 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Don't you guys ever get tired of having the same pointless debate .... I think I speak for everyone here on both sides of the issue and say: "Nope" Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 That is really mean. On the other hand, that's an un****able lineup of anything if I ever laid eyes on one, except for Michelle, that pic is just not fair. It's interesting to me how you can't find pics like that of Laura Bush, eyes all jacked up and looking crazy emotional. Or George Bush for that matter. Just boring pic after boring pic. On second thought, that's barely interesting to me at all. Carry on. You should take your computer in to a repair facility, because google is clearly broken on it. Link to post Share on other sites

Pro Life I will give you. Smaller Government - nope http://mises.org/freemarket_detail.aspx?control=488 In 1980, Jimmy Carter's last year as president, the federal government spent a whopping 27.9% of "national income" (an obnoxious term for the private wealth produced by the American people). Reagan assaulted the free-spending Carter administration throughout his campaign in 1980. So how did the Reagan administration do? At the end of the first quarter of 1988, federal spending accounted for 28.7% of "national income." Even Ford and Carter did a better job at cutting government. Their combined presidential terms account for an increase of 1.4%—compared with Reagan's 3%—in the government's take of "national income." And in nominal terms, there has been a 60% increase in government spending, thanks mainly to Reagan's requested budgets, which were only marginally smaller than the spending Congress voted. He also raised taxes many time as a way to keep the deficit in check which would get him Primaried by Grover Norquist today. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-22/democrats-recall-reagan-s-tax-increases.html Link to post Share on other sites

So you could say he accomplished the same thing Bush did...more spending, lower taxes, talk without doing smaller government. He also had a democrat controlled house from the 1950s till the 1990s. They control the spending. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Poor Mr. President. While attending 1 of 3 fundraisers that day ( this for a guy who can never run for office ever again ) President Obama said that it's now Rush Limbaugh's fault he can't get anything done in Washington. He blames Rush Limbaugh for Republicans who are representing their base, for following what their base wants............. All while Politico ( a left leaning site ) is pointing to so many legitimate investigations on his administration that most of congress is busy in these committees. Looks like Jimmy Carter will finally get to hand over that trophy he's been carrying around for years as worst president in recent history. Link to post Share on other sites

Roll the Bones 74 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 I’ll make this simple. If you voted for a man who sent over 5,000 Americans to their deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan (that’s not even counting the thousands who are permanently disabled or the tens of thousands of dead Iraqi and Afghan civilians), then was President during 11 different terrorist attacks on American embassies, stop pretending to be “outraged” over 4 American deaths in Libya. And if you really can’t see that Republicans are only pretending to care about Benghazi because they need something to attack Hillary Clinton with in 2016—you’re completely blind.

I hope you realize that just because you post a bunch of false, racist, internet propoganda memes that it doesn't give credence to your contentions, it only further supports mine that conservatives have gone off the deep end. If your rebuttle is posting that Democratic women are ugly, pictures of Obama in muslim garb, and other idiotic propoganda, then well, I think you are supporting my contention. They have gone off the deep end. Link to post Share on other sites
Roll the Bones 74 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Attention all Fox News Sheeple: Obama never said he was going to take your hunting rifles or handguns away. He said he wants universal background checks, a ban on high-capacity magazines and a ban on assault weapons (a ban that every Republican President in the last 30 years, including Ronald Reagan and has supported). So, when you share these pictures, acting as if you’re “getting at liberal ignorance,” all you’re really doing is spreading an image around the internet that showcases how you–and any other Republican who sees it and thinks “EXACTLY!”–don’t know a damn thing about which you’re speaking.

Unless that big government regulates: What language to speak Religion to follow When life is created Who can marry Who can serve in the military Invasive health procedures on women That we have prayer in school Mosques aren’t built in certain locations Corporations are people The Patriot Act Unions don’t have rights When alcohol can be sold The requirement of an ID to vote Then those government regulations are just fine.
