Experts back Sarah Palin’s historical account

[ShawnD1]

The catch, of course, is that nobody was hired at all... and city workers ultimately cut the weeds outside the fence for free to avoid a blight on the neighborhood.

Welcome to the Republican party, indeed.

Actually the catch is that if you used the republican's own example it would mean half of the country would be brutally uneducated. Average household income in the US is about $50,000. Let's assume you pay no taxes at all, the perfect republican society, so you keep that entire 50k. Uh oh, what's this, the average American family has 2 children. Education is about $10,000 per year for each child. Well shit. Instead of having a modest 20% effective rate of taxation ($10,000), you now pay DOUBLE that just to put your kids through school. Now on top of that you need to add in your user fee to use the roads, the fee to use the police, fire, the army, etc. Instead of having super rich people cover those things, the republicans think you should be broke ass poor and pay all of that yourself. Oh and forget about paying maybe $8k per year for state university, that shouldn't be subsidized either so the republicans want you to pay the entire $30,000 per year that it actually costs. Welcome to republican America.

An oldie but a goodie:

What's sad about this bullocks analogy is that homeless are 90% mental patients or drug addicts. To even pretend they're capable of holding any job shows the typical ignorance of your conservative Republican.

I have a solution.

I have a factory. You and your family can live with other workers in bulk housing (shanties). We'll pay for your food (cafeteria), and education for your kids (largely preparing them for working in the factory). You will have the costs for these things taken from your wages, but you will be able to eat.

You won't have a lot of energy or money for reading social issues books, staying politically involved, donating to liberal activist causes.

Welcome back to Republican America.

But it's been estimated 25% of the homeless are veterans.

Be a nice sticker to put on recruitment offices.

I don't know which is funnier: the joke, or that fact that certain libs felt the need to deconstruct it.

 

[Craig234]

lol that would be so awesome if she actually said this :awe:

We'd just get her supporters saying what she meant was that his keeping the union allowed for the prosperity that led to the invention of the car after, etc.

Then PJ would pop in with 'see, she was right and her attackers were wrong, they should say they're sorry'.

Actually, I think Palin should go hide in a effing hole. She's a massive blemish on the party. If anyone should be a prominent figure in the party, it's Gingrich. He can pretty easily turn the media against itself these days. That is unless the media decides they're going to dig him for the divorce stuff again.

All that said though, I'm sick of the media going on about Palin. When Palin was announced as the VP choice, the media flocked the Alaska. When Joe Biden was picked...no one cared. No one dug into his past. THere was no attempt to attack him.

He had a long service and was considered one of the top foreign policy experts in the Senate, and did not say the ridiculous things Palin did.

When he made a gaffe, he got attacked in the media for it. He could actually answer a gotcha question like 'what publications do you read' if asked.

And I don't listen to Rush, thanks. Nor do I watch Fox news. Or any other news, for that matter. I prefer reading regular news, and oddly find the BBC news to be better than most anything written in the US.

Funny, isn't it, how the best is the government-run system that puts our private news largely to shame - but the lesson we take is 'cut funding for PBS', not 'copy the BBC'.

It all sounds so... good. It brings a tear to my eye. :twisted:
