...in which I provide some quotes from my comments on their Facebook page, just because I was in a bad mood and wanted to pick on somebody, and a gang of deficit zombies on Facebook is just too tempting a target.
First comment on the wall:
Any organization that claims Trent Lott and Charlie Bass as adherents simply isn't serious. Almost every Republican in your organization voted for the Bush tax cuts and endless wars and to wipe out our hard-won budget surpluses. This is a FACT. Now they have religion. Your organization is phony top to bottom.
And regarding being "300,000 strong and counting:"
...and 64+ million Americans voted for Obama, and expressly disagree with you about this. What a stupid argument: "A smarter approach is to phase in deficit reduction over time with thoughtful savings as opposed to the abrupt, across-the-board spending cuts and tax increases of the fiscal cliff." Do you people actually think a Republican Congress will ever agree to do this? They had their chance in 2011. Where were Simpson and Bowles when Bush was blowing up the budget in 2003? Stop being naive. You are asking Obama to surrender to a gang of people who hate him.
Antonio Villaraigosa's blatant ambulance-chasing for 2016:
Look, isn't what's wrong in Washington right now is Republicans won't talk to Democrats, Democrats won't talk to Republicans? There's this blind allegiance to orthodoxy and ideology. I'm a progressive unabashedly. But I'm also practical.
Really, how disgusting. Progressive my ass. I responded, not that it matters, this way:
Hey Antonio, NEWS FLASH... the blind allegiance is all on one side. The phony equivalence argument does not stand up to the facts. There is no Tea Party on the Democratic side. Were you watching in 2010-2011? I. Am. Not. Impressed. Villaraigosa is a phony jockeying for 2016. He's a phony progressive.
And regarding Villaraigosa joining the steering committee of this quasi-Rovian front group, with a commenter saying "Blame doesn't work. Cooperation & respect has a much better chance." I have only this to say:
You will have no cooperation or respect with a Republican Congress dominated by the Tea Party. This is a fact. Also, you are now a front man for the oligarchs funding your phony "movement." The teabaggers (like Brian Flanagan above) love you now. Nice Job, Antonio.
And to a teabagger schmuck squawking about rises in the minimum wage:
Yeah Bill, everybody knows that if you make less the economy is better for everyone. And greater income equality is even better. You're a genius. I guess that settles it then.
I'm sick of these stupid phony fucks telling us they know better. Where were they when Bush was wrecking our surpluses? Phony assholes.
