Honest RINOs & Spending

At least Senator Brown (RINO-MA) is being honest. He, and a few other people, want to symbolically “sit together” for the State of the Union address. I predict it will turn into total silliness, with everyone sitting with everyone else in a love fest. But anyway, my point is, there are a number of others who, the article claims, want to sit together in the spirit of hippies worldwide: Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Sen. John McCain, Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, Maine Sen. Susan Collins and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte. Anyone notice the common thread? They’re all Democrats! That group all LOVES massive spending! Of COURSE they want to sit with Democrats — those are their allies! Sheesh.

On spending, this is just classic:

Coburn said he thought he would vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling only if there was a specific amount of spending cuts on the table.

Just think about that one for a moment… “Sure, I’ll vote to raise your spending limit, but only if you spend less.” Uh, why, then, would you need to raise the limit? Oh, right, I see — because YOU, Mr. Coburn, want to SPEND MORE, you just want to spend it where YOU want to spend it, and not where that other guy wants to spend it. Go sit with Brown and his pals.

What a damn load of crap. Here’s a line I would absolutely LOVE to see come out of any Congressman: “WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY!” I’d do it. Any time I was asked any question about the budget or a vote, that would be my answer. And when I was asked, “Gee, what programs will you cut?” My answer will be, “WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY, YOU FOOL!”

It doesn’t matter what gets cut. Sure, I could list all the things I think should be cut, but that will take awhile. How about keeping it simple: cut everything! And I don’t mean playing the political fear game, cutting public schools and firemen. Those cuts are 100% political crap to scare people. How about cutting the thousands of bureaucrats that do nothing but breathe and take my tax money? Ah, but never mind, as I said: cut everything.

WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY!


But we can’t say that. It might scare people.
