New contract on America is just old failed polices in a new package


With the mid-term election some six weeks away, Republicans are finally unveiling their alleged plan today with a new contract on America, and, as expected, it’s all the same failed Bush-era polices that created the worst and longest recession since the Great Depression.

House Republican leaders are scheduled to discuss their contract on America at a lumber yard in Sterling, Va. today. The old, failed ideas in a new package are basically a crackdown on government spending, repeal of the healthcare reform law and extension of all the expiring Bush tax cuts that helped squandered the budget deficit Bush was handed and left a deficit for President Obama.

The bottom line is that these those old, failed policies that created the Bush recession, the longest and deepest since the Great Depression, almost killed the economy, and the polices put in place by President Obama and the Democrats have the country going in the right direction and ended the recession.

A better name for this old plan in a new package might be a contract with rich Americans that promises to eliminate all taxes on wealthy Republicans.

Former President Bill Clinton put it best on CBS News when he said this hole was dug over eight years, their argument is we, the Democrats had 21 months to get out their hole, so throw us out and they can do what they did again that dug the hole.

This new “contract” basically stays away from social issues like GOP platforms of years past in an effort to divide and rule by fear, but it does include the promises to “honor families and traditional marriage.”

Unlike the 1994 contract on America, this campaign tactics will not be signed by GOP officials and does not call for term limits or a balanced budget amendment.

The choice in November is even more clear: go with the failed GOP polices that created the worst recession since the Great Depression, or go with the party that averted a depression and a collapse of the financial system and got us out of the Bush recession.

Coulter Quote of the Week: the queen of hate goes underground: or to faux news


All quiet on the Ann Coulter front. Since the media blitz from the queen of hate after her latest piece of trash was published in paperback form a few weeks ago we not heard much from her. We have also not heard anything from her since she got smacked down by Theresa Edwards on “Hardball.”

Since we have not received a new shipment of Coulter hate speech, outrageous comments and stupid quotes, we will have to go to our always-full vault of Coulter's outrageous and hateful comments. If nothing else, we can always collect plenty more when she speaks for Cleary University at their Economic Club Speakers Luncheon Series in Howell this fall. I guess you have to ante up $30,000 grand to hear her BS now like Cleary did.

With impeachment in the air over Shrub, I thought we would pick a couple of quotes on Coulter’s obsession with President Clinton and impeachment. It’s seems kind of ironic that it took years and more than $40 million for a right-wing hatchet man named Ken Start to finally get Clinton for engaging in a legal sex act, but there are so many things Shrub could be impeached for and hasn't.


"It's enough [to be impeached] for the president to be a pervert."---The Case Against Bill Clinton, Coulter's 1998 book.

“In this recurring nightmare of a presidency, we have a national debate about whether he "did it," even though all sentient people know he did. Otherwise there would be debates only about whether to impeach or assassinate.” “In her 1998 book on Clinton, “High Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
