Tom DeLay blames the deficit on Democrats

[quaoar]

Yes, you read that correctly. Democrats are to blame -- along with the war, of course. It seems that all this time we thought the Hammer ran Congress with an iron fist. But apparently he has been hadcuffed all these years by a Congress set up by those evil Democrats with procedures that make cutting spending downright hard.


“The 9-11 recovery, the war on terror, our homeland security buildup and related priorities have required Congress to spend more than we otherwise would have,” the former majority leader of the House of Representatives told an audience Thursday at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

“These things needed doing, and they needed doing quickly. Yes, they were expensive, but they were necessary and time-sensitive, and, given the circumstances, we were right to err on the side of security over thrift.”

He also blamed Democrats, complaining that they haven’t offered any suggestions on how to cut spending. He said they created a congressional budget process that makes it difficult to cut spending.

“We’ve been operating off a Congress designed by Democrats,” he said.

1. You know, if these cretins want a civil war...

they should pull out their beloved guns and shoot us like real men would.

I will not listen to those vermin ever again. The truth is on the right side of the middle yet they want to make the left look 120% guilty. They have no honor.

Of course, this IS deLay speaking.

[Gman]

13. To me, Delay has no office, no standing. He is completely illegitimate

and part of an illegitimate and illegal government and deserves no rights due his alleged "office". He is part of the revolutionary government of 2000 and is not a legitimate leader of this country.

2. Hey Tom? Go Cheney yourself. nt

[GOPisEvil]

3. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Pull the other leg, it plays 'Jingle Bells'.

Your party has been in charge of the House since 1995, Hot Tub Tom. That's more than enough time to have changed the culture. Oh, and lest we forget, appropriations bills start in the House.

So, shut up, Tom.

[politicaholic]

6. LMAO! n/t

[alarimer]

4. Remind me who controls both Houses of Congress?

Fucking idiot. How can the Democrats be blamed when THEY ARE NOT IN CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!

[quaoar]

7. If the House had 430 Republicans and 5 Democrats

Whatever went wrong would still be our fault. Everything is our fault -- all the time. Try to remember that.

[alarimer]

16. silly me. I forgot

I seriously think, though, that Delay may be out of his mind.

[AntiCoup2K4]

22. It's all those pesticides he inhaled for years.

:crazy:

[Lefty48197]

9. I'll bet 98% of Republicans believe him when he says those things

What mental midgets they are.

[snippy]

25. Whenever politics are discussed, I have taken to asking republicans

just this one question:

"Just how fucking stupid are you?"

[Daylin Byak]

10. Because

Were Democrats when the repukes are in trouble were the first to be blame even though we do not control congress and are not in charge of how much money goes to approitations.

"were monsters" says bill o'reilly and we get blamed for everything just because were nothing but tree huggin, animal protectin son of a guns.

and you know what, i wouldn't have it no other way.

[politicaholic]

5. Was that before or after you pissed on the Balanced Budget Amend?

You ass.

[July]

8. Hmmmm, one glaring omission . . .

tax cuts for the wealthy.

[rosesaylavee]

11. No, no, no, its NOT the Dems

Isn't it Bill Clinton's fault... or are we now too far away from his presidency to continue to blame him? :sarcasm:

Morans.

[graywarrior]

12. What? I can't hear you over the rattling of your shackles, Tom.

Oh, BTW, get fucked.

[zbdent]

14. Right - it was the Dems controlling the House since 1/3/1995!

No, wait . . .

It was the Dems controlling the Senate since 1/3/1995!

No, wait . . .

It was the Dems controlling the White House since 12/12/2000!

No, wait . . .

:silly:

[stillcool]

15. Please, shut him up....

and shut the cabal down.

[Vinca]

17. If something happens that causes Delay to go to jail

for years and years and years, I swear I'll get religion.

[agincourt]

18. Again the mind of a GOP conservative,

No lie is too small to tell. He should be flailed for weeks for thinking Americans are dumb enough to believe that one. Even if they are.

[SeattleGirl]

19. I still get kind of mad when I read or hear stuff like this, but

mostly I laugh, because DeLay, Frist, Cheney, and the rest are so full of hot air and shit it's ridiculous. And I think people are starting to catch on to them.

So Tom, blow it out your ear. I've got more important things to do than seriously entertain anything you could possibly have to say!

[freethought]

20. Tom Delay DOES NOT need a prison cell

He needs a rubber room instead.
:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

[yellowcanine]

21. The man is shameless. Pubs have controlled congress for over 10 years.

If there were a problem with the budget process one would think they could have fixed it by now.

[hadrons]

23. playing the victim card, Repukes like that .....

He also blamed Democrats, complaining that they haven’t offered any suggestions on how to cut spending. He said they created a congressional budget process that makes it difficult to cut spending.

“We’ve been operating off a Congress designed by Democrats,” he said.

being in charge of Congress for 10 years and they're the victims of Democratic oppression ... isn't this 'moron' admitting Repukes are dopes???

[spanone]

24. Poor widdle tommy hasn't done anything wrong and we all blame him

What a pathetic piece of shit.

[dogday]

26. They have been in power 5 years and yet they still

refuse to take credit for anything.

They have screwed up everything they have touched and blamed it on the Democrats.

They are the Majority as they are so quick to point out.

Now they want to hide away when the shit hits the fan....

[Norquist Nemesis]

27. DeLay needs a psychiatric examination

Seriously, this guy is completely delusional and needs to be locked away in a rubber room.

[Toots]

28. Yes them Democrats have been yelling Tax Cuts for the Wealthy as loud as

possible. Democrats have always wanted huge tax cuts for the wealthy so they could drive up the deficit. It sure is a good thing Delay has been there to stop them.......
