		<description>Sooner or later Dems will get a chance to kill the entire need to vote on the debt ceiling.  It&#039;s idiotic to begin with.  It&#039;s raised not to pay for new spending but to pay for spending past congresses have already voted on, so why vote again?  No other country has anything like it and raising it was a formality for nearly a century.  Only now in our history has there ever been representatives so unfathomably stupid that the credit of our nation has been harmed.</description>

		<description>Is it unclear?  It means the debt limit is a problem when a Democrat is president.  And the debt limit is not a problem when a Republican is president.  Or as you put it: &quot;The implication was that it wasn&#039;t controversial until a Democrat became president.&quot;  Or as Bowser put it: &quot;The truth is it doesn&#039;t bother you until a Democrat is president.&quot;

If there&#039;s another way of saying it, then I leave it up to you to discover.</description>

		<description>This vintage has turned to vinegar.

Hypocrisy is a political philosophy that wraps itself up in  god, the flag, moral rectitude, and fiscal discipline but who&#039;s entire policy is actually entirely focused on keeping worker salaries, consumer protections and corporate taxes down. As long as your candidates promise that, you will forgive them anything.

We&#039;re not the only ones hip to your scam, Tom.  The whole country&#039;s got your number.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Remarkable.&lt;/p&gt;

I put up something on the debt limit, and a response pointing out Obama&#039;s hypocrisy on the subject, and it&#039;s like somebody pulled the &quot;Crazy Cork&quot; out.</description>

		<description>...conducted an illegal war in Central America against the direct orders of Congress, and secretly tried to finance it with money raised by selling weapons to terrorists who were holding our citizens hostage. 

The former is conducting an independent foreign policy without the advice and consent of Congress, indeed, against their specific proscription. The latter is providing aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States.  People on his staff were actually convicted and went to prison for participating in these crimes and the subsequent cover-ups. 

Both of these acts qualify as treason, in some countries you can go to the gallows for it. But they name Navy carriers, airports and turnpikes after this sonofabitch. And his sycophant worshippers still genuflect and light candles to his memory.

Nothing bothers these people unless a Democrat is President.</description>

		<description>I posted &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security-technology-and-liberty/new-justice-department-documents-show-huge-increase&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; back in September, showing that the surveillance programs you declare as a step toward dictatorship were not only still in effect, but expanded.

Your response back then was mindless gibbering too.

There&#039;s a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/third-times-not-charm-when-asking-about-warrantless-wiretapping&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;new article&lt;/a&gt; on this at the ACLU site.  Note that unlike the original Bush surveillance, between U.S. and foreign sites, these all seem to be domestic.

I remember posting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/all/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; too.

But outside of the ACLU and a few others, nobody else cares.  You won&#039;t see stories on this in the Washington Post.  The President is a Democrat.

Thanks, by the way, for another excellent example of Democratic situational &quot;ethics.&quot;  You can have the conn back again.</description>
