Brought To You By The Party Of No: The Number Zero
So much for the Republicans coming out with a better budget. The rollout was a disaster, NBC’s First Read guys write. “Let’s be honest: Yesterday’s House Republican budget rollout was a P.R. disaster for the GOP. ‘Here it is, Mr. President’ was the title of the GOP Leader blog touting that they had answered Obama’s dare to produce a budget. The problem — their budget rollout didn’t contain any hard budget numbers or deficit projections. They say those hard numbers will come out next week. But now we learn that Reps. Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan objected to unveiling yesterday’s ‘blueprint,’ but were overruled by Reps. John Boehner and Mike Pence. But bigger than any internal disagreements or any criticism about a lack of details is the fact that yesterday’s GOP non-announcement moved the attention away from the Obama-vs.-congressional Democrat storyline to the GOP’s lack of a budget. In fact, after yesterday, the White House and congressional Democrats can agree on one thing: The GOP — at least until next week — is the ‘Party of No.’ What’s more, it puts more pressure on Ryan to truly put out a comprehensive budget alternative; Also, this episode could end up creating a rift in the GOP over how to combat the Obama White House. After all, Senate Republicans wanted nothing to do with an alternative, and now Mitch McConnell, et al are either laughing at their House GOP colleagues, furious at them, or both.”
The show yesterday wasn't for Obama or the Press.
It was for their base.
Their base would see this reply as a "tough" reply to an insult, that humiliating slap, in the press conference.
To their base, the Pukes seem to be smart and cocky, smacking down that uppity negro by presenting him with precisely NOTHING.
This is school-yard politics, of just about the lowest order.
No, this is their way of rejecting Obama's effort to coopt the discourse. It's their way of refusing to play by his rules, by making a mockery of his narrative...
Malkin had a post with a title saying "You asked for it you got it". Only problem is there was no "it". Just as they screamed that Geithner's housing plan had no specifics and was nothing more than a wish list this is exactly the same. This is what they want, but they have no idea how to get there. It's laughable, but the base is buying it.

A samoyed called Nemo.
He's a friendly boy. Beautiful and great in winter snow.
He wouldn't have made any of the presidential choices over the last 40 or so years.
He wouldn't have made a good president?
I think he would.
I've always thought dogs would do a better job of running the world.

when he started licking himself during an important meeting or press conference, or tred to hump the Sec. of State.
Yeah, it's that simple.
all your base are belong to us

The most complex economy in the world and they come out with an 18 page answer? At least it's quick reading. But lets be serious. this was an attempt to stop their declining poll numbers and combat the label as "The Party of No". Go to Boneheads site and read it. It's not an alternative. Everything in there is nothing less than an attack against what Obama is proposing. It's more "NO" with no answers. All these people have is less taxes, no abortion and less restriction on guns to get votes. Where are the answers? This current GOP party is the most clueless in probably 80 years. They're embarrassing themselves.

plenty of criticism regarding how obama administration and treasury secretary are handling this two headed monster(financial crisis and economy crisis), BUT i believe wallStreet is fairly pleased at this point.
the party of "NO" is clueless right now. they have a crisis of their own a major identity crisis. they are looking for some weaknesses. they should just look in the mirror. can you imagine palin and mccain dealing with these crisises? it would have been a larger Nightmare.

lol nice.
Actually my family welcomed Edward Long Shanks into Scotland and rendered fealty to him to increase the size of the baronage.
Of course it's been gone now for centuries, the castle reduced to burnt rubble.

It's the Mark of Zero!

The Repuke base may buy this drivel but I expect that's about it. I mean the base beleives anything they are told so a good 20% will say, you see, we have the answer. Any thinking person on the other hand will hurt themselves laughing.
that KKKarl Rove was the sharpest tool in the shop for seven years?
God help the Republican Party if that was really the case. Because it seems like all they have at present is Sean Hannity, Michelle Bachman, and Joe the Plumber-who-is-not-relly-a-plumber... and oh, yea... Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh.
"bobby" jindal?

You know the wheels have come off your party when you're a Republican and the Scar is ridiculing you.
Hey boner theres an old saying that apply's directly to you and ur rethug minion
better to be percived a fool than propose a non budget and remove all doubt.....
Boehner comes from a state where they couldn't count the votes right so you can't expect him to get the budget right. Math ain't his strong suit.

the man can tan like no one!
..of themselves. I realize that won't happen, as Boner, Pence, Cantor, Drier (all GQ models??)...the lot of the Repigs have sociopathic tendencies.
How can they sleep at night?? after they spend their days fiddling with this crap while actual human beings are losing their jobs, their homes and even their lives?? Disgusting and despicable...
