How Stupid Are Repulicans
 

I had to post this. It is an oldie but very funny and so very true.

A zinger, but a dangerous zinger to use. Guess what Charles Murray's take on this data would be.

As opposed to Joe Biden, a definite MENSA candidate.

Deflection and a lousy one at that.

Oh...I thought this was a rhetorical question.....

Deflection ? Your entire defense of the Obama administration is deflection.

What is his "defense of the Obama administration"?

George Bush, always.

That's because the attack is always 'Blame Obama for everything Bush fucked-up."

"Yeah, sure! Blame Bush!"----- Even in 2008, when there was no one else too blame.

Do Republicans EVER take responsibility for their f**k ups? Or, would that be too "apologist"? Too damaging to their grotesquely bloated egos?

It's been seven years Streak. And, assuming you are middle class you are worse off than you were seven years ago. Meanwhile the big boys and the stock market are great. Hope an change my ass.

Exactly when does it become Obamas economy.

The economy, by any measure, is far better off than it was when Obama took over. Admittedly, Dubya dug a deep whole that would have gotten much deeper had the GOP been able to impose the austerity measures they preferred.

Stock market triples...righties wail and moan
Unemployment at 5%...righties stamp their feet in indignation
Real estate values back and rising...righties mutter that no black man could've done it. It must be sumpthin' else. :rolleyes:

I guess there's no pleasing people who get all their information from Faux News, World Nut Daily and BlazeTV.

If this was the McCain/Palin economy righties would be crowing their asses off and holding parades down on Wall St.

Tinkle down started under St. Ronnie, Zero. :rolleyes:

Those with the gold provide the shower.

It has been Obama's economy for the past 6+ years, you are just unwilling to recognize his accomplishments. I have an idea why.
Here once more for emphasis from Post #14.

I suspect this statistic means more to most. So, you get the labor participation rate down so unemployment numbers go down and you get a bunch of jobs at fast food restaurants. Hooraay for Obama.

Mmmm-hmmm.

And how did the number for 2013 compare with the number for 2011 and 2012?

Or conversely, what was the percent difference between 2007 and 2011 and between 2007 and 2012?

As usual, no link to your source.

And I see you still want to start the clock for Obama back during the final disastrous years of your boy Bush's Presidency.

Here's a clue Dude.

Your boy Bush was President for all of 2007 and 2008.

Obama did not take office until Jan. 20, 2009.

From 2007 to 2009 real median household income declined from $56,436 in 2007 to $54,059 in 2009, a decline of 4.2%. That's about 1/2 of the 8% that you are trying to attribute to Obama. Sorry Zero, but your boy Bush owns that 4.2%.

Bush, Bush, Bush .

I guess the dud in chief will have that excuse forever.

Facts tend to be the best sort of "excuse."

You do realize that you could use that excuse forever for everything.

Of course that is the base of progressive thought. Everything is somebody else's fault and everybody else's responsibility.

Oh, there is no one 'base of progressive thought.' Progressives are such a thinking bunch, they come up with lots of bases. Here's one I heard about recently, from one of this site's notable progressives, djv8ga:

Ethics

1. Take care of the Earth.
2. Take care of each other.
3. Never hoard, always share.

(from Permaculture Ethics, my paraphrase)

"Basis" maybe?

You know nothing of "progressive thought." All you're capable of is random insults hurled at "the other team" like some half drunk sports fan in the cheap seats.

When in Rome do as the Romans do. As if fuck Ben Carson is the depth I should strive for.

The writer was striving for a depth appropriate to Carson.
