…of government taxing and spending and wasting being called investments I am sick and tired of democrats using the phrase “investment” when all they are talking about is spending OUR money. Government doesn’t invest one red cent. This goes beyond the pale of political correctness. There is nothing correct about it. Of course I’m sick [...]
Wag the dog and other alternate universes Some declared the death of journalism during the 2008 Presidential election when Obama’s admitted cocaine and pot use was not worthy of their scrutiny. I declared obvious liberal bias in 1994 when they referred to Gingrich’s proposals as cuts to this program or that program when there was [...]
I’m sick and tired of outrageously high college tuition costs. When I started at a Texas public college 28 years ago the cost of a three hour course was $12. That was tuition only. No lab fees or books or parking etc. Today, I pay $1500 for that same three hours of college credit for [...]
I’m sick and tired of the President of the United States talking about anything but his economy. There are 25 million Americans that are unemployed, underemployed or have stopped looking for employment. Those that have stopped looking are not even counted in the national unemployment rate. This knucklehead has had four years to turn around [...]
I’m sick and tired of the President of the United States asking for personal tax returns from his opponent Mitt Romney. Romney has released two years of tax returns and in one of those years he earned $21 million. His effective tax rate was reportedly 13.9% so he contributed $2.92 million to the U.S. Treasury. [...]
I’m sick and tired of the Senate Majority leader making political speeches on the floor of the senate that has nothing to do with senate business. Dingy Harry (and any other member of the body) could and should make a political argument about matters facing that body. He should not be allowed to make personal [...]
I’m sick and tired of these liberal democrats referring to the president’s job creation as better than George W. Bush’s and/or Mitt Romney’s record as governor of Massachusetts. Any time you hear that between now and November 6, keep in mind that the liberal democrat is purposely deceiving the public. When the liberal talking head [...]
I’m sick and tired of this president resorting to class-warfare and calling his latest $1,500,000,000 tax bill a “Jobs Act”. Maybe some of those tax dollars will be given to more fraudulent companies like the now bankrupt Solyndra. The president actually met with their CEO and gave a speech from their factory floor while promoting [...]
I’m sick and tired of liberals insisting we need a tax increase because the president’s deficit is too high and cannot have a balanced budget without more revenue. That is stupid! Every dollar the government takes from us is a dollar the private sector does not have to circulate through the economy. The stupid liberal [...]
I’m sick and tired of liberal democrats lecturing the public to tone-down the political rhetoric. In other words, if you have a philosophical difference and you refuse to compromise on your principals, then you are extreme. Tell that to Rep. Maxine Waters (Democrat, California). This liberal democrat made sure her husband’s bank received TARP funds [...]
