You know, you lost all credit with this statement. MightyYT Send a noteboard - 16/08/2011 07:37:31 PM
In between blaming Obama for the London riots they've been out telling anyone who'll listen that THEY aren't to blame for S&P cutting the US credit rating (and never mind what S&P itself says to the contrary).


So, you are blaming a small group of people whose premise and philosophy is "Stop Spending Money, Don't raise taxes." The problem isn't that these people stopped any bill that might have prevented a downgrade. The problem is the people who created the problem in the first place. Namely Republicans and Democrats, the established Oligarchy in which the only difference between the two sides is WHERE to the spend the money. S&P would have down graded us any ways because the Democrats and Republicans have proven TIME AFTER TIME that they cannot be trusted with a budget.

But the Tea party is a convenient scapegoat for people who listen/read either of the party lines.
Castle: This is so weird. I dressed up as him for Halloween.

Beckett: Me too.

It can only be called a plan if you ever, honestly plan on following through with it. Jacob - 16/08/2011 06:52:32 PM 337 Views
Oh, I fully intend to follow through with it. Joel - 16/08/2011 06:58:05 PM 343 Views

The distinction between "he caused it there" and "he WILL cause it here" is practically nonexistent. Joel - 16/08/2011 07:01:03 PM 314 Views
Joel just continue to admit you are full of shit and defend your BS at the same time *NM* random thoughts - 16/08/2011 07:16:20 PM 275 Views
Again, the difference between "s/he WILL cause this" and "s/he DID cause" is merely tense. Joel - 16/08/2011 08:04:55 PM 323 Views
