Tax N’ Spend, Baby, Tax N’ Spend
Given the time of year it is right now, and the childlike hope and willingness to believe in something we all know isn’t real, I thought I’d discuss the myth of small government and fiscal conservatism in the GOP.
Like a lot of other things that millions of people believe in that don’t really exist, the myth that the Republican Party is the only party that can decrease spending and balance a budget is as honest and believable as Hayden Christiansen in those Star Wars prequels. But sometimes words aren’t enough, which is why I’ve provided this handy little graph:
In case you are colorblind, or can’t decipher Rs from Ds , I’ll translate. Whenever the graph goes up, a Republican was in the White House. When it goes down, a Democrat was President. In case that sounds bad, let me remind you that the title of the graph is “Increases in the National Debt”.
Conservatives, can’t you just admit that the reason you vote Republican is because you’re easily duped, care nothing for your fellow man, and hate progress? I mean, saying “all conservatives hate America” is a pretty bold statement, and I’m sure six of them actually love our country. So for the love of Mark Harmon, could you fucking act like it and switch party affiliation?
switch it to… the libertarian party! But cut that idealistic hot button issue shit out beforehand please…
The libertarians can have all the conservatives that are purely power/money driven and don’t give a fuck about what happens behind closed doors.
The remaining Fundies can form their own party, or rename the GOP to stand for “god obsessed prats”
-sigh- rhino, you wanna take this one?

@birdie- maybe, we’ll see. I just dig the hell outta the MM logo. It’ll probably crop up more, though.
@skw- ironic, innit, that CPT uses the word ‘continues’ when describing the destruction of America…like it only started going downhill in the final months of the year, and Dubya had nothing to do with it at all.
That woman is a piece of work…
They don’t have to require their own country…they can just have one. They can call it Puritania, and they can have Utah and Wyoming, provided Montana gets to annex the Tetons and Jackson Hole, and Arizona gets Moab.
