Ok, so Matthews got it wrong on Ted Stevens. At least he's right on the money here.

1. They disagree with history, logic and science. Intresting, yeah. n/t

[niceypoo]

3. Reagan said he would cut spending

...he doubled the national debt. Bush 1 said he would cut spending, he doubled the national debt. Bush II said he would cut spending, he doubled the national debt. See a pattern here?

Republicans and economics? LOL. I cant figure out why they are at all relevent. Obama and the Dems need to shove their plans right down the GOPs collective throat. They had their chance three times in the last 30 years, blew it each time, and ultimately collapsed the economy....fuck them.

The adults are in charge now.

2. How is it...

that a Republican gets to say the words "pay down the deficit" after 8 years of borrow-and-spend, without being laughed at? Nothing will change while these people continue to be treated with respect.

4. Disingenuous Rethugs

I don't remember them pushing for "spending caps" during the bush years...

5. They want to cut spending when there is an emergency situation..

going on in this country,these people are insane. Do they see any foreclosures,homeless or any job losses what in the hell do they expect these people to do. I don't see how they continue to have any base and the 9/12 nuts are really out of their minds.

I know damn well that some of these people have lost jobs or have been effected by bush's just sitting in the whitehouse for 8 yrs and opening up the doors with no regulations and tax cuts, and these stupid 9/12 nuts want more. Its as if they they were sleeping through the whole eight years and woke up and realized a black man was becoming the president and now they are afraid and want to blame it on him...

6. "We haven't had spending caps in congress in ten years."

Am I to assume that includes the last eight years, when Republicans ran things?

Jeez, the GOP stupidity is overwhelming.

And Chris Matthews didn't get it wrong on Ted Stevens- the prosecutors fucked up big time.
