Have fun trying to repeal HCR next time you are in power, as if the Republicans will have a majority any time soon. But say they do, what are the Republicans going to do? Remove all those awful taxes? Put the wasteful medicare advantage subsidies back in? Well, like all Congresses, at the end of the year you got to balance the budget, so now how are you going to pay for it? If you guys have a better way of paying for it all by all means, but at the end of the day, it needs to be paid for somehow. Or will you fiscal responsible conservatives go back to deficit spending? My guess is that is exactly what will happen, and there goes the country again into a spiral of deficit spending whenever the Republicans are in charge.

Oh, but then I suppose you could “reform” health care again? You guys want to give it a go next time you are in power? It’s so easy afterall. And clearly after everything you wanted in the health care reform bill is actually included in the bill I can see why you’d want to completely reform it. Maybe you guys can call it the “Health Care Deform bill”? Just give the insurance companies anti-trust exemptions again and let them drop whoever and jack up premiums to whatever? That’s been working out so great so far, afterall. Would you spend a whole year debating it like the Democrats? Or would you “ram it through”? Would you use reconciliation? How about a “self-executing action”? Which form of hypocrisy would you use to get it accomplished? Because after all, the Democrats wouldn’t think of using every single tactic the Republicans used against them when the shoe is on the other foot. For some strange reason Republicans think that if they take back over Congress Democrats aren’t going to filibuster every goddam thing they offer. I guess you guys are prepared for the barrage of hypocrisy attacks that will follow, right? In fact, Republicans should campaign on repealing Health Care. That would be very fun to watch.

But the fact of the matter is, when Health Care reform passes on Sunday, and signed by Obama, it becomes law. If the Republicans want to “gut” it and take away its funding, a program that is paid for and is not contributing to the national deficit, then they will basically have to deficit spend to pay for it. Yeah, nobody will notice that. After all the horse shit the Republicans and conservatives are bitching about Obama spending money to keep our country’s economy from collapsing, trust me, if the Republicans even hint they are about to go on a Reagan/Bush spending spree there will be rioting in the streets.

So yeah, good luck with that.

Bush’s speechwriter continues to fabricate

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 12:13pm Juneau Smog Blog Post Permalink Blog Post Trackback Read/Leave Comments Juneau Smog Twitter Retweet Bush’s speechwriter continues to fabricate

Mark Theissen, Former Bush Speechwriter, and author of the recent book, “Courting Disaster: How CIA Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack”, actually has the mental capacity to go on Morning Joe and say that “if torture programs were in place before the attacks on 9/11 we would have known about Al Qaeda and would have stopped them.” Seriously…

Needless to say, Lawrence O’Donnel was co-hosting and of course tore him a new asshole. And who wouldn’t!?

Scott Brown takes off Levi, reveals Johnson

by Jsmog
Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 10:51am Juneau Smog Blog Post Permalink Blog Post Trackback Read/Leave Comments Juneau Smog Twitter Retweet Scott Brown takes off Levi, reveals Johnson

Scott Brown Centerfold

a principled, common sense, Strong, HARD conservative

Remember when Levi Johnson posed naked in Playgirl? Yeah, most people didn’t care either. But uppity conservatives thought this might actually be the apocalypse. There was all this big hubabaloo as to whether Levi was going to go Full Monty or not reveal the real “Johnson”. He eventually went with the latter by covering his extreme private parts with a hand towel. However, this didn’t stop Palin from saying about the father of her grandson, that Levi was taking a “heartbreaking” venture into “porn” on Oprah.

Never the less, while Palin has been traveling the country embarrassing herself elsewhere she has weighed in on a few of the upcoming elections as well, saying this about MA Senatorial Republican candidate Scott Brown, that he has “you know, common sense conservative values, principles, solutions, being plugged in to meet the challenges facing America today.” Because obviously someone who poses nude in a Centerfold (without even a hand towel) demonstrates, what is it again, “conservative values, principles, solutions, being plugged in to meet the challenges facing America today.” Or maybe Levi is taking a venture into porn because of the magazine in which he chose to pose in, which was no Cosmo like Brown’s pictorial. And who knows, since Brown’s expose was during the 80s, maybe Levi will make a great Republican Senatorial candidate in 20 years. Hmmm, Levi doesn’t seem to have quite as good a grasp on hypocrisy yet, like all principled common sense Republicans do.

Take the poll : Is A.) the nude photo of Levi Johnson the porn and the nude photo of Scott Brown the common sense conservative, B.) the nude photo of Scott Brown the porn and the nude photo of Levi Johnson the common sense conservative, or C.) Sarah Palin is a hypocrite?

Fox News Made Their Bed, Now Sleep In It

Monday, November 2, 2009 at 05:39pm Juneau Smog Blog Post Permalink Blog Post Trackback Read/Leave Comments Juneau Smog Twitter Retweet Fox News Made Their Bed, Now Sleep In It

What the Fox!?

What the Fox!?

I don’t think there is anything more hallow than listening to Fox News cry about the White House claiming they aren’t a real news agency. Three weeks ago White House Communications Director Anita Dunn appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources and said:

“The reality of it is that Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party. And it is not ideological… what I think is fair to say about Fox, and the way we view it, is that it is more of a wing of the Republican Party.”

“Obviously [the President] will go on Fox because he engages with ideological opponents. He has done that before and he will do it again… when he goes on Fox he understands he is not going on it as a news network at this point. He is going on it to debate the opposition.”

“[Fox is] widely viewed as a part of the Republican Party: take their talking points and put them on the air, take their opposition research and put it on the air. And that’s fine. But let’s not pretend they’re a news organization like CNN is.”
