"Savior" of the GOP Already Lying or Clueless

The GOP is trying to be more moderate, but the far right keeps tugging at their sleeve. And having so many far right talking heads isn't going to help the GOP to 'moderate' either. Anytime they drift towards the center, the airwaves are ablaze with hate and a call to bring the GOP back to it's so called 'conservative roots'..

Bringing Nugent to the SOTU?? LOL My God..

there is a reasonable argument to be made that the federal government had a part in the financial melt-down of 2008 via reckless policies...it's completely irresponsible to pin them as the major cause.

Partisan for whom?

Lack of gov't action certainly helped cause the crisis but the gov't was not flying those planes, so to speak.

When people try the "It's the gov't's fault for not stopping them" argument... a) that's a separate issue and b) let me re-brand this the "Chris Brown argument."

Brown is in hot water right now for allegedly faking completing the terms of his probation. Allegedly, a police chief down south helped him do this by falsifying records stating he had completed community service, etc.

Even if that's true that does not change the fact that Brown committed this offense; the fact that the cop was an accessory is a separate matter.

So... if I were to follow the herd on this one, we'd blame the cop and let Brown walk away.

Really?

No matter how many times it's been debunked, you still have people trotting out this tired meme, along with the obligatory Fannie/Freddie whipping boy(s) and my favorite: the "CRA Argument." All bogus, all revisionist.

So if people like Rubio are to be believed, we shouldn't be keeping our eye on AQ, we should be slicing gov't!

Too bad the Wall Streeters weren't Muslims. THEN we'd have the full attention of these people.

Marco Rubio: Hi, I'm like you. My neighbors and family use SS and Medicare. I and my family would have never made it in the US if not for welfare, medicare/SS, and financial aid for schooling. Now let me proceed to explain why the gov't is terrible and we need to get rid of all of it.


Was a very strange speech. He came off terrible. I thought he was supposed to be their Obama, lol.

I remember seeing him in the Florida Senate debate in 2008, he came out a strong supporter of the Iraq invasion...that's all I need to know about the guy.
