3. not really. well, I suppose the ignoring of it is...

I heard a great analogy to why Conservatism spends more because of cutting taxes last night. basically, he compared it to a credit card and the false perception that the government is cheaper when taxes are cut, thus people want more and increase spending.

7. I meant amazing when you see it in color and yet, they still deny

the facts that they have no clue how NOT to spend money.

I think the biggest difference is, dems spend money to help make our lives better, those thugs spend money to help make THEIR lives better and their bank accounts bigger.

I agree with your analogy too. Minimum payments are the way they run the country.

4. It's a graphic example of stealing from the future poor

to give to the present rich. It's disgusting beyond belief.

8. This chart tells me that....

Democrats have inherited debt from the Republicans, but overall, Democrats have a negative growth in the national debt. We should not count the debt they inherit from the Republicans as Democratic "debt". The chart shows that Democrats cut debt and Repubs increase debt. We spend all our spare time trying to get rid of Republican debt and it keeps us busy and makes it impossible to install any of those new socialist programs, such as healthcare, for our people.

9. The biggest laugh is they call themselves "conservatives"!!

Just what the hell is conservative about that. The lying assholes have always been about saying one thing and then doing the opposite.

10. Yep, I asked my congressman this morning

in an email, why they called themselves conservatives. He had voted for offshore drilling. Certainly he doesn't care to conserve the environment. The only thing they conserve is the position of the powerful.

11. Makes a good answer

Any time a republican suggests that the Democrats raise taxes there's the perfect answer:

Democrats do raise taxes, but only to repay Republican debts
