Like “Death Tax”, the rebranding of VAT as the “Fair Tax” is a great idea if you are a plutocrat and is pretty good or at least inoffensive if you are in poverty, but is a mighty sucking wind of suckitude for the 80% of us in the middle. Yeah, let’s be “fair” to the richest people, ’cause, you know, their wealth in no way has anything to do with the rest of us. The money they get is simply created out of the aether in response to their merit. Why should they shoulder more of the burden than anyone else?
It’s their money dammit, they earned it, they didn’t need us to get it and they sure don’t need us taking it from them for some so called “shared interest” or other governmental nonsense. Are there no workhouses?

i’m late to this party, but I have to add that the pantload with the deathstar picture cracks me up every time

It’s better, but if he were to get the nomination the vacuum would almost certainly be filled by someone just as bad.

He doesn’t have a foreign policy advisor? Is that worse than having one in John Podhoretz?

What Sender said. Add annoyingly cutesy jokes and some Jared-like weight loss that doesn’t help anything. Aww, the Huckster. Really, though, he doesn’t want to bomb everyone?

Wait. Rich Lowry doesn’t have a non-elitist side.

Someone should tell him that, sitting around all day, dreaming up anti-Huckabee tomes is going to make him a dull boy. Get the message: Huckabee is what Leadership looks like!

Be careful Richy. Your readership may drop off with your continued rants.

Now, will you please get on the correct side of the FairTax. For goodness sake, man, we want to get the paws of politicians and lobbyists out of our paychecks. We want to pay for government the way that working Americans are paid – when, and because, somethin is sold!

This sentence was a real puzzler, until I realized that by “limited government” the GOP’s Thousand-Year Majority is simply referring to Halliburton and Blackwater, et al.

The Republican Party married the radical religious right. It was a marriage of convenience and now they are full of regret. Too bad.

A Christmas Card for you.

That’s Dick Cheney’s vice-pimpmobile, right?

The Republicans are bankrupt. They’re not raising money like they used to (for the first time in recorded history, it seems, the Democrats are out-raising them) and those who would lead them are bankrupt as well. Not a complete man (nor even one woman) among them, as Hayward admits. They’ve been too busy fooling around in men’s rooms & diapers, corrupting the government, giving no-bid contracts, selling themselves to lobbyists & earmarking the Federal budget to pay attention to their next generation of little Hitlersleaders. They’ll be moping around for another Reagan for quite a few more yrs., until the verdict of history comes in & they realize what a complete crock his “legacy” is.

None of the current crop of creeps even comes close to satisfying all of the stitched-together parts of the Republican Frankenstein monster. I’ll soon be marketing “Schadenfreude” brand popcorn, w/ real butter!!

Yes indeed. And the one and only reason the right wing hates Bill Clinton so furiously is because practically the first thing he did as President was raise the percentage rate of the highest tax brackets.

Look. They accused Clinton of unforgiveable sexual immorality. Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde and Bob Livingston accused Bill Clinton of sexual immorality! No one actually ever gave a damn about his sexual morals.

They accused him of playing fast and loose with the civil rights of American citizens. Waco Waco, Janet Reno, black helicopters, New World Order. This is the same party that is virtually unanimous today in favor of throwing away habeas corpus and legalizing torture. Try and imagine the right wing actually being upset over a President whose actions may have truncated the average citizen’s privacy or civil rights!

They called him a bloodthirsty warmonger when NATO bombed Serbia. They accused him of “wagging the dog” when he Tomahawked bin Laden’s training camps in Afghanistan. Then they blasted Iraq to bloody shreds in order to protect the American public from the desperate imminent threat of anthrax bombs being manufactured in canvas-sided semi-trailers, being delivered by pilotless aircraft made out of balsa wood.

It’s always all about the class war. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is the only thing the Republicans have ever been really serious about.

That is, as they say on the Internets, full of win.
