C'mon you liberal moonbats! Where's your plan? NO IDEAS!!!
I finally get it, the DLC and Hannity have made me see the light! Why the GOP have some up with all of these great IDEAS, but the dems HAVE NONE!

For example, Republicans have come up with the great idea of taking the social security trust funs out of boring old government securities and putting it into the EXCITING STOCK MARKET!

Well dems? Where is YOUR plan for how to gamble the SS trust fund? BZZZZT! Just as I thought! NO ideas! The GOP plan wins by default!


Okay, then there is education. We all know that all public schools are "failing" because the media keeps telling us so constantly, so the GOP came up with the great idea of defunding schools who don't pass standardized tests. YAY! That will show those poor, underprivileged kids! But that's not enough. Poor kids just hate going to dangerous schools in scary ghettos. What they really want is to go to PRIVATE schools like the nice white rich kids do. So the GOP gives them "school choice". YAY!!! Here's how it works. If a parent doesn't like her kid's school she can take him out of that school and get a voucher to attend a private school. Sure, the voucher only covers about 5% of the cost of tuition, but poor ghetto kids' mom can just get another job. The important thing is, the money for that voucher coupon discount thingy came RIGHT OUT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS BUDGET. YAY!

Well, dems? Where is YOUR plan to defund the public schools and give discount coupons for private schools to rich people who can already afford it? Hmmm? You don't have one? BZZZT! NO ideas! You should listen more to Holy Joe. He got behind our voucher schemes. What's wrong with the rest of you?


And on and on it goes... ((sigh))

The income tax, for one.

4. I'm down with that!
Hell, while we're rolling them back, let's go waaaay back, to 1980. Then we would still have the Fairness Doctrine and other protections that Reagan/Bush tore to shreds.

5. I agree. Call it the Democratic Burden
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 02:15 PM by iconoclastNYC
First we need to undo everything Bush did. Then pass an aggressive reform package.

The next Congress must be the most proactive in history. And yet this is impossible.

Think you annoyed with all the DLC/Hamilton/Bluedog/Redstate/Conservative Democrats in the Senate now?

Wait til they start voting with the repubs to kill Democratic bills in the new Congress.

Make no mistake. The right-wing has been working on a plan to take over our party for decades.

DLC = Republican's Trojan Horse.

2. The minute they would allow vouchers for the 5%, the private
schools would raise the tuition by 5%, guaranteed.
