That's an interesting choice of words.....is that like the old Libyan "Line of Death"? (Edit For Rookies: a line on a map across the Gulf of Sidra...that they kept drawing closer and closer to shore...as our Navy moved closer and closer. It was a great source of humor for us in the 80s). Need Schumer to pass around a memo trying to tell them what to try next. This part is hysterical: Meanwhile, the Romney camp has been presenting Ryan as proof of the GOP ticket’s seriousness on the deficit, but Schumer’s memo presents four points to challenge that. (1) Ryan supported Bush’s deficit-exploding policies. (2) Ryan voted against Simpson Bowles. (3) Ryan urged John Boehner to tank the grand bargain talks. (4) Ryan’s own budget numbers don’t add up. Straw grasping. "but...but...but...you numbers don't add up"... Yeah, as if politicians numbers ever add up, there Chuck. Hey, I don't blame Chuck for trying to help out the team...but this? This is a pathetic..."schit...we don't have a plan B, so let's just do this" attempt...that won't work either. Why? Because it's all about Ryan, and none about Obama. Where is Charles's "here's why Obama's plan is better"? Simple: because Obama doesn't have a plan...and honestly...even if he did...would it be demonstrably better, and still be an accountable, comprehensive and reasonable solution directed towards our imminent problems? Or...would it be more spending, regulation and taxes, pretending the problems don't exist? Edited August 15, 2012 by OCinBuffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of humor went out of the world when Qadaffi and Saddam died. And Kim Jong Il. At least we still have Chavez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Dems admit 1st wave of Ryan attacks are fail..........................................................perhaps this is the reason; No Question about Ryan’s Motives By Christian Schneider August 15, 2012 Perhaps the easiest and cheapest strategy in modern politics is to question your opposition’s motives. It’s a timesaver, as you really don’t have to learn what your opponent is proposing at all; you simply have to draw a direct line to whatever shadowy group you think they are tied to . We’ve seen this from the Left over and over. We went to war in Iraq to pay off Dick Cheney’s buddies in Halliburton; Scott Walker wanted to destroy the unions because the Koch Brothers whispered softly in his ear; Republicans want voters to verify who they are solely so people of color can’t vote. And on and on. But the beauty of Mitt Romney’s choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate is that Ryan’s motives are above reproach. As I argue in my column today, there’s no way to explain Ryan’s attempts to reform entitlements other than to point out he’s acting on principle: Ryan’s signature accomplishment is his plan to reform entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Since politicians rarely seriously address these massive programs, Ryan falls outside of the typical talking points. Democrats simply don’t know how to attack the motivations of someone clearly operating on principle. What cigar-chomping billionaire benefits from Ryan’s plan to ensure the fiscal solvency of Medicare for future retirees? What secret global conglomerate is he trying to funnel money to by lowering our national debt? The answer to both questions, of course, is none. In fact, Ryan’s plan is crazy by Washington standards because its only purpose is to actually fix the problems our country faces, not to pay off a political constituency. The hysterical reaction to Ryan’s plan demonstrates exactly why politicians rarely submit such bold legislation; why deal with unpopular issues when you can keep kicking the can down the road and earning re-election? . . . http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/314078/no-question-about-ryan-s-motives-christian-schneider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 A lot of humor went out of the world when the Republican Primary ended. Qadaffi and Saddam didn't have much on Bachman, Cain and Santurium And yet one speech from Biden, and the world is busting a gut like you've never seen.
