Reagan Policy Advisor Bruce Bartlett: Chunk of GOP either stupid, crazy, ignorant or craven cowards

I'm so very tired of being trickled on

How? By allowing the Replutocrats to trickle that fluid down their necks and convince them it was rain. Its actually something closer to warm yellow bodily fluid and it`s been running since Reagen was President. Now Democrats who believed in it as well as Replutocrats have their brains soaked with it. Can`t ya tell after yesterday?

You asked!! How did people get so stupid? Answer: Fox news!!!

trickle hell!! Someone turned over the bucket!!!! And trust me it don't smell like a recovery!!!

two thumbs up

George Bush ran the country for 8 years, did he run it from the center?

That's the problem with Democrats, always the first one to cry uncle and give in.

Bush stole the first election and he lied to get re-elected. Besides he didn't have to run in the center because he had the majority in the house and senate for 6 years. Many times Cheney had to vote in the Senate to cast the deciding vote. Back then you didn't require 60 votes in the Senate to pass anything, only a majority vote of 51. This new requirement of needing 60 votes in the Senate started after Obama became President because the GOPs goal is to stop the President in anyway they can. So in order to prevent a fillibuster the Senate now need 60 votes.

For the first 6 years of Bush's Presidency the GOP spent like drunken sailors. When the Democrats won the majority in Congress in 2006 it was the first time Bush used his veto pen and that was when the Democrats tried to put stipulations on the war funding.

There is nothing wrong with running in the center, it is after all (right now anyway) the United States of America and not everyone is conservative or liberal. Beside, you can be progressive and still be a moderate democrat.

Three Thumbs up,I borrowed one from my neighbor!

I agree totally with you, however, there is no center in this country. we have become a do or die nation. black or white, up or down, good or evil and we have been conditioned to want it all our way. I have no problem governing from the center as long as I don't lose my rights while it's being done. I am a Gay, Black, Poor, non religious, Athiest man in America and there are no polititians anywhere looking out for ny needs and concerns. Every year I have to vote for somebody's else issues while mine are put on the back burner and or totally ignored.

There is a song "seems like I gotta do wrong before they notice me" by the Whispers.and that's exactly how I feel.

Say what you will buit this is not my country and it has never been.

If it were my country,I would have a say in it and please don't tell me my vote is my say because I have been voting every year since I was able with no results whatsoever. Maybe if republicans take it all over and rule from the extreme right, others may begin to give a damn about the rights of people like me because they will become poeple like me.

I feel your pain. There are many people that feel that government doesn't look out for their needs. Minorities and women are hit the hardest. But, do not ever wish to have the extreme right take over, if you think it is bad now just think what it would be like with them in charge. Things take a long time to change, civil rights took a 100 years after the Civil War to be enacted and some still cannot believe they lost the war. In the past 50 years women fought hard for equal rights, and Unions fought hard to improve the working place as well, and after these long fought battles the newly elected extreme right governments in the States have taken away most of these rights in one swelled swoop. In the meantime, the Democratic controlled states are moving forward to legalize gay marriage, implement the dream act, and pass universal health care. Once the people in the so called Red states see what is possible they will eventually want it too. Young people today are much more progressive than their parents, it may take another 10 to 15 years for the country to progress to the point where everyone is accepted and health care is available to all, but that is only if we keep fighting and not give in to the extreme right in society. If we cave now it is all over and everything we fought for in the 20th Century will be lost and we will never get it back.

I disagree,I dslike his penchant for bargaining from the center.He informed the reputards everything he would cave on,then demanded they cave immediatly as well.We are still at that stalemate.

I respectively disagree with you. He didn't start negotiating from the centre until he lost his majority in Congress in 2010. The American voter told him they were not happy with him pushing his so called left-wing agenda. Voters were convinced by the MSM, with the help of the Koch Brothers and Dick Army, using GOP talking points, that he was pushing things through with little or no GOP support and this was bad for the country. They hammered home that he was a Socialist and the independent voters fell for it. Corporate America bought the last election.

Prior to that the only thing he gave up in negotiating was the public options in healthcare as he knew it didn't have the votes in the Democratic party for it because of the Blue Dogs. He didn't want to lose Healthcare Reform entirely, especially after the long hard fight to get what he did.

If the majority of the people who voted for him in 2008 didn't stay home or voted against their best interests in 2010 it would be a lot different today. Giving the GOP a super majority in Congress has tied one of his hands behind his back. However, he is showing America who the GOP really are and who they support. Hopefully voters won't be stupid and cut their noses off in spite of the faces in 2012.

Just for some perspective go look at all the progressive bills passed in Congress when the Democrats had control that died on the Senate floor because the GOP would not let them come to a vote. Ever since he became President the GOP have made it impossible to pass anything in the Senate without 60 votes. It has been their plan all along to destroy this President and now liberals are allowing them to have their way by not supporting him.

Thanks,wise words ,to be sure.But i believe it was voter apathy and our president allowing Americas most destructive voices hold the floor, that cost us the house and some of the senate.In my opinion Rahm Emanuel was a little too cocky after '08 to effectivly handle 'message control'...oh yes ,and America's voters allowing themselves to be easily misled.

True. This Administration has always had a messaging problem that I have never been able to understand because the President is an amazing speaker. Some of it I think comes from the MSM always allowing the GOP to have the loudest voice, but some of it is because his messengers are so bad at their jobs. I would really like to see the Treasury Secretary to go, I think he is too close to wall street and has given the President bad advise. I would love for Elizabeth Warren to be Treasury Secretary, but unfortunately the GOP in the Senate would never let her be confirmed. Even it the President appointed her during recess it would only be good for year. Maybe when there is only a year left to this term he will get rid of some of the dead wood and recess appoint some good people. One can only hope.

You've Got me...

Ok, Cool... I thought they were trying to out do Newt... Thanks ThirdSection... =)

Why did the chickenhawk teabagger/baguette cross the road?
Because a Koch-a-doodle-dude told him/her to!

They'll never out-do Newt until they put out t-shirts that were made in Grenada.

Did the Koch-a-doodle-dude give him/her a boehner?

Grenada??? Aww Man... =(

After El Salvador, the only way they're going to top Newt's Reaganiness is with Grenada...

I am in awe...

Yeah... I vaguely remember, I was a very young person back then... In Fact, I was a lot more forgiving and understanding as Well...=(

Another Excellent Video... You are on a Roll Bill... =)

LOL... None Taken... =)

Listening to this video is a reminder of how much history repeats itsself, uncanny but good, thank you.

I remember this back when i didn't have a care in the world and everyone over 30 was a dinosaur...cool.

Thank you! Roosevelt was hated by the Republicans. The headlines of the Depression era and what followed are chillingly similar to today's right wing blast of propaganda. Sadly Republicans are today as they were before the Depression, traitors to America------------and should be lined up and treated as traitors! Those who love our nation should always point them out and their sins in the loudest possible way at each and every opportunity!

What a horror that the true facts of the Great Depression are carefully not taught in our nations schools.

Bill thanks so much for reminding me of yet another reason to hate Republicans--I loved and never missed one episode of The Smother Brothers Show. Another example of fine programming censored by the right.

Excellent video, Bill, Thanks for posting it here, Voted Up... =)

Well, KB...I'm trying my best to stay on topic!

To show respect for the creator of this Current Community article.

(Rolling On The Kitchen Floor Laughing My Big Fat Yellow Dog Democrat Arse Off!)

Heh, Too Darned Cool Bill... =)

Nice!

Bill this video reminded me of who I am and what I stand for. I'd gotten real sick of the Democrats lately but your video reminded me of what the Republican dark side really stands for---I am back to my roots! Thank you so much!

You're very welcome! It's nice to know who that person is that's staring back at me in the mirror!

Nothing like being "found" after spending time being "lost"!

I hate it when that happens!

I never voted Republican for any national office in my state. thanks for this video and I do remember.
Try to convince the unintelligent morons that voted the Tea Party thugs in as Republican to make a bad situation worst.
What a mess were in ain't we.

^+d

I remember too. It was pretty bloody awful watching America go to shit under Bush and worse still watching John Howard kiss his butt while Millions of people were left stranded in New Orleans.

Now watch me hit this drive...

I soooo agree with you.

This is what we get when people who think their puny opinions trump reality get their hands on some power.
