Responding to post 9/11 Republicans

[Hoss]

Now, I lifted this from another website, but I think this is brilliant stuff.

Whenever the Republicans get all in a tizzy about how Obama is running this country, remind them of the following:


-You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
-You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
-You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
-You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
-You didn't get mad when we circumvented Congressional approval to invade a country that had not threatened us.
-You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said war.
-You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
-You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
-You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
-You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
-You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
-You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
-You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
-You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
-You didn't get mad when the housing industry collapsed because Wall Street fought even the slightest oversight whatsoever.

You finally got mad when the government decided that Americans deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.


Now, I realize that not all Republicans fall into all these categories.  But those who started waving their flags ONLY AFTER 9/11 remind me of all the above statements.

And I will be one to admit that I didn't get mad at alot of these.  Mainly because I was not near as socially engaged during the first half of the previous administration as I am now.

[Gaspar]

-You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
How many times did they count?
-You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
Proof? 

-You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
Not undercover, not covert.  She told everyone she was CIA, even the media.
-You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
Yes at first. . .
-You didn't get mad when we circumvented Congressional approval to invade a country that had not threatened us.
Lobbed bombs at them for the past 8 years killing thousands of civilians.  No result, seemed like the humane thing to do.
-You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said war.
LOL!  Obama spends that in a week.
-You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
Uh huh! Could have used that for "stimulus"
-You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
Disgrace.
-You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
. . . who were having conversations with known terrorists (you left that out).
-You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
Still mad.
-You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
Still mad.  Tis the condition of most veteran's facilities.  Disgrace.
-You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
Did too!  Got even madder when they tried to blame the disaster on the federal government LOL.
-You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
. . .and everyone else (you left that out)
-You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
Still mad, but we've fixed it, we've added another half trillion in less than a year.
-You didn't get mad when the housing industry collapsed because Wall Street fought even the slightest oversight whatsoever.
Riiight. . .

Proof?  Muahahaha, I like this one because there isn't really "proof" because they wouldn't turn over any records of the closed door meeting.  http://archives.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/07/19/cheney.energy/

Not undercover, not covert.  She told everyone she was CIA, even the media.

-You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
Disgrace.
-You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
. . . who were having conversations with known terrorists anybody from any other country (you left that out).
-You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
Still mad.
-You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

. . .and everyone else (you left that out)  *this is correct, there was about 895 billion to the top 1% and 5 billion for the rest of the country.  Even if you got 1 cent back its a "tax cut" for everybody.
-You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
Still mad, but we've fixed it, we've added another half trillion in less than a year.

Riiight. . .

You missed quite a few things..

[Hoss]

You missed quite a few things..

Oh, I'm sure I did.

And Scott, I wasn't asking you to substantiate the things you did or didn't get mad at.  But that does tell me a little something about you.

[buckeye]

Brilliant?  Hardly, that's pretty weak sauce.  Half truths, distortions, all the usual partisan angling and sniping.

You must be reading the Repub talking points then.  Because, from where I sit, all of the above are true.  It's amazing how people turn a blind eye to it when it doesn't ascribe to their ideology.

But believe what you will.

Oh, I do and virtually none of it is accurately described by your little list.  In fact, that little list very inaccurately describes Republicans from where I sit, but as that it comprises -your- talking points, you evidently believe what you will, too.

Astounding when the inaccuracy is pointed out to you but you refuse to learn or change - the very thing you're complaining about now.  Partisan angling and sniping, that's all - something to giggle about when you're out drinking with like-minded buddies, but hardly anything of substance.

OK, then feel free to disprove it via sourcing.  Every thing on that list happened.  You're just mad it happened during Bush43.

Do keep in mind that I say many Republicans are just as mad about a lot of things on that list as I am.  I guess we can leave you off that list then, huh?

And when I go out drinking, politics never enters the discourse.  If it does in your world, then a sad world it is...

[buckeye]

Didn't you know that Republicans don't drink?

Sheesh...

Thanks, Rush and Sean.

"You finally got mad when the government decided that Americans deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick."

My life is far more important than your unfair, unbalanced, economically privileged Republican talking points.

Sheesh.

I especially liked the part when Nancy Pelosi said we won't know what's in the bill until it's passed.

How much of a tax cut can you give to people who don't pay much if any tax?

Hi, I'm here from the IRS.  I see you only paid $1000 in income tax last year.  Let's give you a $10,000 tax cut. You deserve it.
