The tea party isn’t just losing; it’s losing badly

[Tsing Tao]

"Freemarkets" - simplistic. Everyone wants this. Unless you mean totally free, which only whackjobs want.

"Balanced budget" - simplistic. Do you mean "to the penny", or some degree of perpetual surplus or deficit, or a running average?

"Rule of Law" - simplistic. Everyone wants this, but disagree on which laws.

Rule of Chaos: if you don't get what you want, smash your toys, shut down government, mar the country's credit rating. Have a 51st vote on repealing Obamacare!

Brat clarified that by free markets, he meant he wants the Federal Reserve to stop meddling, and stifling regulations to be removed. He always wants to simplify the tax code greatly.

Balanced budget, there are other countries that have a balanced budget policy. Whether it's to the penny or an average, or whatever...any step in this direction is a good one.

Rule of Law. Sure, everyone wants this, but it's not about which laws are followed. It's about having two sets of laws - one for the elite, and one for everyone else.

 

[Ricter]

exactly my point... even you do not find those thoughts extreme.

Note... Obama and Reid shut down the govt when the Republicans sent over the budget in pieces.
My belief was they should have sent it all over in pieces.

You team smashed the toys and put up the gates at great expense.

They do not rise to the level of thoughts, as they lack detail. The devil is in the details.

There are details behind them. This guy is an econ professor... he took over hannity for about 15 minutes last night and controlled the dialogue well. He is smart... he is on message. You guys are ignorant of this situation... him dislodging Cantor was not a fluke. Could he screw this up still, yes... but you are not going to pin guy with your typical leftist crap. He is smart and he articulated his conservative beliefs far better than Romney or Ryan ever did.

At this moment... this guy is far more educated than about real world economics than and any lying leftist politician your side can produce.
Remember even Romer stated raising taxes the way Obama and the left typical does crushes GDP.

But there's a delay, for that crushing of GDP, right? I mean, it could take a year, or five years, even ten years to really see it in the data?

 

[jem]

Ask the president's adviser or go read the paper.

Also note... we just saw a quarter of negative growth... after last years tax increases.

Yeah, but look how badly GDP fell in 2008, after the Bush tax cuts!

From VOX: Cantor wasn't beaten by the Tea Party

Eric Cantor wasn't beaten by the Tea Party. He wasn't rejected by Republicans. He was beaten by 36,000 of the roughly 65,000 people who voted in last night Republican primary in Virginia's 7th congressional district.

Put that in context. Virginia's 7th district has about 758,000 residents. In 2012, 381,000 of them voted in the congressional election. 223,000 of them voted for Eric Cantor.

Cantor's loss last night came at the hands of about 5 percent of his constituents. It came at the hands of about 9 percent of the total number of people who voted in the district's 2012 congressional election. It came at the hands of about 16 percent of the people who voted for Cantor in that election.

And though Cantor's defeat is national in its effects, less than three-hundredths of 1 percent of the people who voted in the 2012 House elections voted against Eric Cantor last night.

So this was a fluke.

What a crock of leftist propaganda and feces. This was a PRIMARY, dumbass. And despite the fact that roughly 37% MORE people voted in this PRIMARY than the last PRIMARY, Cantor got 23% FEWER votes than he did last PRIMARY. And that's also despite the fact that Cantor OUTSPENT Brat by about 25 to 1.

 

[jem]

revenues were up tax revenues were up 40% within 18 months of bush tax cuts and even the 1% paid more.
years prior....

Yeah, but look how badly GDP fell in 2008, after the Bush tax cuts!
