The masters of the craft (Limbaugh) whine about persecution while simultaneously being bomb-throwing bullies. <br /><br /><i>He’s trying to bring back tax hikes as part of the phase-two special committee seeking additional deficit reduction, even though his own party rebuffed him on this in the late stages of the debt talks.</i><br /><br />What a lying sack of shit. I assume Kudlow referring to Reid's proposal, which dropped raising taxes on the rich because the GOP would never agree to them, even though it would be good policy.<br /><br />As for Stephen Moore, he was pimping a flat tax and other plutocrat-pleasing policies the other day on NPR. He's been at it for a long time. <br /><br />Congrats on the Angry Bear cross-post, Susan, especially for that pompous, cherry-picking, supply-side troll! How dare you, a mere <i>woman</i> mother, doubt the divinity of Supply-Side <i>Jesus</i> Reagan?!?<br /><br />(Also, boo to no strikethroughs allowed in the preceding paragraph.

The fact that Carter was discussing facts and making perfect sense counted for nothing as far as she was concerned. All that mattered was that her candidate had successfully insulted the other guy.blivetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-73057310486530487072011-08-07T17:46:27.012-05:002011-08-07T17:46:27.012-05:00The fact that "there he goes again" is t...The fact that "there he goes again" is to this day regarded as an devastating riposte, and not an lame, ineffectual retort is proof of the ignorance and shallowness of the journalists who cover presidential campaigns. The context of Reagan's barb was Carter's entirely accurate citation of Reagan's hysterical, hallucinatory prophecy, from the early 1960s, that Medicare would lead to the end of private medicine in particular and free enterprise in general. "There he goes again" was the "fuzzy math" of 1980.kthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807643816565849458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-19584784840631702692011-08-07T17:30:29.079-05:002011-08-07T17:30:29.079-05:00Good to see you pivoting to this guy for a while, ...Good to see you pivoting to this guy for a while, Susan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-67940685918449955442011-08-07T13:45:10.056-05:002011-08-07T13:45:10.056-05:00I have been meaning to do some research into Kudlo...I have been meaning to do some research into Kudlow and Stephen Moore's political activities--they don't just cheerlead, they were/are involved with the precurser of FreedomWorks and the Club For Growth and political advocacy/lobbying.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-84203491605708185342011-08-07T09:44:26.803-05:002011-08-07T09:44:26.803-05:00Would someone get the man a short skirt and pompom...Would someone get the man a short skirt and pompoms?
