Republicans aren't the ones calling for $447 billion in new spending for another stimulus bill and absolutely refusing to cut spending or reform entitlements. Nice try.

Great comments -- you guys crack me up!

You're right, and that's sort of the point. If the Republicans are bad, the Democrats are catastrophic.

The 'solution' here is almost a parody. Unbelievable - the left's appetite for government can never be satisfied.

It's an easy way to get hammered really quickly.

The federal government is spending more this year than it's ever spent before. Yet, we're going backward. Keynesian theology = fail.

Okay, I changed the 'it's government's job to make everyone happy.' That wasn't really the main point of the piece, and I think the first paragraph now reflects what I was trying to say.

I don't mean that the way you think I mean it. I wish there were a better way to describe what I meant there.

How did you detract from my point? You added to it - more examples of liberals playing politics with people's lives.

Agree wholeheartedly - what's puzzling to me is how few politicians seem willing or able to take these basic pillars and apply them to social media.

Knowing them, she probably stopped at a Chavez-owned CITGO.

You know what? We conservatives have figured this thing out pretty darned well: http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/2011/01/survey-republicans-now-matchin.php

Yeah, my tweets aren't for everyone. I promise not to post here that much!

Thank you for posting this - I'm getting awfully sick of all the defeatism from the GOP side concerning the 2012 election. The idea that Obama will win handily is silly - unlike 2008, it will come down to the results of just a couple of states. I'm very much looking forward to it!
