    Can we get all the chickenhawks set up for automated debit card withdrawls?

    And what is the dollar amount of 2,800 lost lives plus the 660,000 Iraq citizens that have died for bull shit bush’s madness.?…….No amount of money is equal to even one life, their’s or our’s……Blessings, pass them around, we need them.

    Let’s get this straight: Dems will get blamed for raising taxes in order to pay for Boy George’s illegal war, while billionaires get a tax break.
    Conservative = IDIOT

    That’s also $544,320,000 per day!
    ‘Freedom on the March’ isn’t cheap.
    Neither is pissing off all our gloabl allies to
    pursue a Neoslut dream.
    Look, we essentially have two religious fanatics
    at war with each other over ‘my God is better
    than your God’.
    Didn’t we learn anything on the playground?
    Bulies are bullies. Put them in power and you
    have chaos instead of order, death instead of
    life and sorrow instead of joy.
    Neither Jehovah or Allah are concerned about
    ‘who’s better’, why are we?
    I believe the 11th commandment should read:
    ‘Harm inflicted in the name of God will keep you
    out of Heaven for Eternity’.
    Neoturds, are you listening?

    Heh. That’s what I love most about today’s “conservatives”–they’re fiscal responsibility (it’s right up there with their personal responsibility).

    Hey, I want my 12,600, no, wait, my 25,200, no wait my….
    Back!

    Or, let’s just determine who voted for George and let them pay the bill. It’s only taken 5 or 6 discussions to convince my dear OLD Repub mom that when our taxes go up to pay for the war, don’t blame the Dems, blame YOURSELF and anyone else who was dumb enough to vote for Shrub the 2nd time…


  9. Cheney/Voldemort 2008 Campaign HQ says:

    How about passing a law that the costs of the Iraq Fiasco must first come out of the coffers of PNAC, AEI, RNC, and every individual asshole like Kristol-lite and Vice President Palpatine who personally benefitted from the blood money?

    Maybe the way to really get rid of all these asshole Republicans is to make them pay for their travesties, atrocities, and quagmires!

    The death toll that they are admitting to this morning has now reached 91 for this month..Bring all the troop’s home now……Peace and Blessings

    Stump a con, ask him where did all the money go.

    More proof Puddingead is no foscal conservative.

    No worries, Puddinhead borrowed more from other countries in his first term (1.2 trillion) than all other presidents in history combined. Where did he get it? Mainly from China. Now here is a coincidence for all condumbs to swallow hard, 2006 China’s record Defense budget of 56 BILLION (1/8 of ours) is the same amount the US taxpayer is paying in interest for that loan.

    Heckuva job Chimpy, US taxpayers are paying for the surging China military complex. Now that shows great fowrded thinking.

    You mean going back to the Clinton tax scheme – that resulted in federal deficits actually going down . . .

    Wow. Who knew one of Forbes’ billionaires posts on ThinkProgress.


  15. Marie says:

    But the economy is doing so well, we can all afford it, right?
    Apparently RayfromGa can afford it – he must be one of the top 1% who enjoys the tax breaks from Bushie – tax breaks that are breaking the backs of the average American.
    The cost in lives and treasure for this war is really immeasurable.
    We are only beginning to see the cost in world affairs.

    So, Ray’s not only a committed christian, but he’s very wealthy. Ray, have you heard the one about the “Eye of the Needle?”

    If your taxes go up it is because someone has to pay back the reckless debts that the last three republican administrations have run up!!!

    NEWS FLASH: IT’S NOT A TAX CUT IF YOU HAVE TO PAY IT BACK WITH INTEREST!!!

    I could pretend like my monthly obligations were less by putting 10% of my expenses on a credit card… but guess what… those bills that I did not pay for along the way will still come due… except now everything I bought on credit is going to cost considerably more because I will now have to pay interest on them.

    IN 2010 – 50% OF OUR TAXES WILL GO DIRECTLY TO PAYING THE INTERST ON OUR DEBT!!!

    Thanks to the fiscally conservative Republicans 50 cent out of every dollar you pay in taxes will no longer go to fund American causes but instead foreign creditors like China and Saudi Arabia.
