“House GOP Declares Unanimously: Bush Tax Cuts Did Not Blow Up The Budget”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

That’s like painting a big “THERE’S NOBODY DUMBER THAN ME!!!” sign on your head, republicans.
but then, that statement is probably true.

Repubulicans in the House were trying to pass a bill that would change the “way neutral budget score-keepers analyze the effects of taxation, to make it appear as if unpaid-for tax cuts don’t deepen deficits.”

They want to hide the cost of tax cuts (reduction in revenue), like they hid the cost of the bush wars.
In that manner they can AGAIN build a HUGE deficit, which they can again try to blame on democrats, despite reality.
Then they can AGAIN claim “we can’t afford these middle class programs, or programs for our poorest”.

If I believed in the concept of evil (I do believe in the concept of greedy turds), republicans would get that label.

Republicans.
Eff you.
Eff you lots.

Those corporations made a profit of $163 billion and received a REFUND of more than 10 million dollars, while spending nearly 500 million on lobbying efforts.

Lets examine his record, compared to Obama’s.
Obama we know, has added approximately 1.25 trillion dollars to the debt.
Much of that was the stimulus.
In total, Obama’s policies are 20% of the debt added during his presidency.

The rest is the recessions under bush, the bush tax cuts, the bush ware and the bush medicare expansion (none of that paid for).

Demint himself was not in office for the major deficit builders under bush, but the deficit remains vastly republican-created.
This pile of poop Demint trying to blame democrats is simply deceptive bullcrap.

He recently said:

SANTORUM: Am I going to go after Mitt Romney on Romneycare? You bet I will, because it was the basis for Obamacare. Why? Because it’s top-down, government-run medicine. Does the state of Massachusetts have the right to do it, as you said? Yes they do, states have the right to do that. That doesn’t make it the right thing to do. I’m going to go out and piece by piece talk about how his approach is wrong, how it will destroy this country to have someone up against, who is not going to be willing to take on Obamacare, and has a track record of supporting that kind of statist government.

How accurate is Santorum?

“Because it’s top-down, government-run medicine.”
False.

“Yes they do, states have the right to do that. That doesn’t make it the right thing to do.”
What makes it “the right thing to do” is more people being insured and living longer, healthier lives.
That and Obamacare extending medicare solvency by 12 years.
And that Obamacare lowers the deficit (last year’s HUGE CONCERN from the right, before they took the house).

“how it will destroy this country”
HAHAHAHA, republicans are all nutty drama queens.

Kuhner: Obama’s Tucson Memorial Address “Was A Surreal Spectacle In Narcissistic Self-Congratulation” That “Dishonored The Victims.”
(this was a speech that even many conservatives appreciated)

Wash. Times: Bin Laden “Outmaneuvered” Obama With Taped Message.
(OBL dead – but wash times claims OBL won, lol)

how freaking stupid do you have to be to NOT BE ABLE TO TELL THESE GUYS ARE LYING?
No wonder republicans get votes despite doing everything they can to make life harder on everyone.

Now, it’s still very unlikely that Ron Paul will become president. But, as I said, his economic doctrine has, in effect, become the official G.O.P. line, despite having been proved utterly wrong by events. And what will happen if that doctrine actually ends up being put into action? Great Depression, here we come.

“If you look at my record, the only Speaker in your lifetime to get to four balanced budgets,”
Newt Gingrich

ThinkProgress writes:

However, this talking point is much more fiction than fact. For starters, as USA Today noted, “Gingrich was in office for only two of those budget years (fiscal 1998 and 1999). But he continues to claim credit for two balanced budgets that were passed after he left office (fiscal 2000 and 2001).” Furthermore, as Citizens for Tax Justice’s Bob McIntyre wrote, it was actually the 1993 budget, which all Republicans opposed, that laid the groundwork for the balanced budgets that occurred under President Bill Clinton:

Further:

“Center for American Progress Director for Tax and Budget Policy Michael Linden has actually found that legislation passed by Gingrich’s House Republicans made the budget picture worse in the 90s, not better. “Gingrich and his Republican Congress had nothing at all to do with balancing the budget in 1998. In fact, the net effect of their efforts was to make the fiscal situation slightly worse,” Linden noted. “
