Blaming Tea Party for S&P downgrade is like blaming Betty Ford Clinic for alcoholism

[teapartysamurai]

“John Kerry is on a crusade to destroy the Tea Party. To blame the Tea Party for the S&P downgrade is like blaming the Betty Ford Clinic for alcoholism. The entire existence of the Tea Party movement has been based on an attempt to stop the runaway spending of Washington – by the likes of John Kerry. Any media outlet that features his outrageous blame game remarks without challenging his serial dishonesty is giving aid and comfort to the crusade to vilify and extinguish conservative thought.

“If this is the ‘Tea Party downgrade’ then I’m the fairy godmother. No, this is a well-coordinated effort by the left-wing to deflect bad news – very bad news – away from their very left-wing President Obama.

“Let’s not forget the conservative movement’s position on the debt. The only legislation that would have met the criteria to avert a downgrade was the Cut, Cap and Balance proposal. It included $5.8 trillion in cuts, far more than what S&P required. But President Obama vowed not to sign it, and the John Kerry Senate Democrats refused to consider it. The liberal media largely ignored this reality, too.

Bozell to Media: Don't Endorse John Kerry's Crusade Against the Tea Party

The liberal media is doing everything they can to get people to not see the obvious. The obvious being that Obama is to blame for this downgrade.

His horrible policies make Carter look responsible in comparison. Even the incompetent Jimmy Carter didn't get this country downgraded. Only Barack Insane Economy Obama could do that.

As usual with liberals, they are desperately pointing the fingers anywhere else but themselves in a pathetic effort to deflect the blame away from themselves.

But let's examine the obvious. The Tea Party did not pass any budgets. The tea party did not vote on any budgets. The Tea Party did NOTHING but protest and vote for candidates in an attempt to stop this RUNAWAY SPENDING, and the Tea Party is to blame?

Hilariously sick and insane. I know the left will hilariously insist that the Tea Party is to blame, because Republicans didn't want to "compromise."

Compromise on what? Run away spending is runaway spending. Whether it's spending at 50 mph or spending at 100 mph, it's STILL SPENDING, and on MONEY WE DON'T HAVE.

How do you compromise on bad policies that got us here in the first place?

But what is Washington's answer from both parties? More of the same.

And the Tea Party is to blame?

This is Jimmy Carter's malaise speech on STEROIDS.

Blame the American people FOR YOUR BAD POLICIES DEMOCRATS. Go right ahead.

See ya election day November 2012. Malaise guarranteed a landslide for Reagan.

Let's see what Malaise2011 gets ya!

BS. The debit ceiling crisis was manufactored and brought by the Teabaggers. They won. Now live with the concequences. Well, lie as much as you can and blame the President and maybe some people will believe you.

BS. The crisis was brought on by the reckless spending of both parties and Obamas innept attitude towards addressing it until the last minute.

There was no debt ceiling crisis until the Repupicans/Teafolks made it one. The downgrading was not because of the amount of debt but the brinkmanship playing in DC. Had raising the ceiling been done like it has the past hundred or so times it has been increased(no drama) there would have been no downgrade.

I think for the most part the American people understand this. We'll see in about 15 months.

Inept?

It's generally a bill that consists of one piece of paper.

The Tea Party chose to make this an issue about future spending.

Well, okay..if they are so concern about the debt..why no tax increases?

Cutting spending is just as bad as increasing taxes during a recovery.

And they don't seem to have a problem with cutting spending.

But of course, it's not over until they return volley. What an ugly couple of gits.

Weve been in a crisis for some time and the fact that you didnt even notice until the TP brought it to the attention of the american people shows just how out of touch you are. If we werent in crisis mode then waiting till the last minute wouldnt have mattered. Besides the dems had 2 years to head this off at the pass and accomplished nothing except to add anothe unfunded entitlement to it. You guys couldnt even get your own party to vote to raise taxes before the TP came into office but now of course you want to blame them for not doing it.

Please show me when, in history, we had a debt to GDP at 75% where it was the kind of issue that it is today.

Hello.???????????....debt to GDP of 75 fucking percent....

There was valid fucking reason to not simply "raise the fucking debt ceiling" you fucking obamabot.

Pardon my language. You guys are pathetic....and I let the frustration get to me.

My fault....but it felt good.

Why?

Becuase they were afraid the tea partyers were going to spit on them as they left the Capitol Building.

Thats why.

Way to go Samurai. You hit the nail right on the head. It's like blaming Smokey the Bear for forest fires.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

How can anyone believe that a $1.5 Trillion in cuts over ten years really means anything? By then we will have a $23 Trillion Debt or higher. There will have to be a Balanced Budget Amendment. And that wont happen if the Democrats stay in power. They will have to be decimated at the Polls in 2012. There is no hope for the future otherwise. So make 2012 count America.

 

[rightwinger]

Yes...the TeaTards bear the blame

They created an artificial debt crisis, they drove the country to the brink of default, they created the perception that the US was willing to default on it's debt

Own up TeaTards

Because thats the root of the problem,SPENDING!!!

This not hard.Its a spending problem not a revenue problem.
will it be an easy pain free repair?? nope its going to be painful,for many,its unavoidable.
but blaming it on the group that the very least to do will bring us to where we are is well just stupid.

Well, it has been close to 150% of GDP...we were paying for a war. Know what else we did? That's right, we raised taxes.

We invaded two countries and lowered taxes. That's just stupid.

Now, if the GnOP had compromised like the president offered, with cuts and revenues, we would not have been downgraded, period.

Who cares... the moonbats from the left will ratchet up their attacks on the Tea Party as the year goes on. They're toast in '12 and they know it. Obama's a complete disaster, even some on the left are admitting he's incompetent and in way over his head.

Indeed. Democrats could not get thier own party to agree on a budget or debt and did not want to do so before mid-terms. Something which has not happened since 1974! What stopped them from passing a budget and raising the debt ceiling in 2010??





Dems won’t pass budget in 2010

By Jared Allen - 06/22/10

The House has never failed to pass an annual budget resolution since the current budget rules were put into place in 1974..It’s also the issue that’s destroying what’s left of the Democrats’ jobs agenda as centrist Democrats have balked at the price tag of such measures.


For weeks, Democratic leaders have tried to strike a deal on the budget, which is a non-binding resolution, but to no avail.


The talks triggered splits in the Democratic Caucus, alienating conservative Democrats from their liberal colleagues.

Dems won't pass budget in 2010

Because of their own bickering and BS in deeming a budget passed they allowed it to come to an impasse. If the democrats had done their job we would not even be discussing this mess. But they were too afraid adding even more debt after their trillion dollar HC mess it would lead to a loss in the mids. So much more convenient to point fingers at another party when it is your own damn fault!

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Yup it's all the Racist Terrorists' fault. Yea that shit wont sell for them in 2012. Only their hardcore radical dummies by into that shit. And they were obviously going to vote Democrat next time anyway. So fuck em. I can't wait to see them curled up in the fetal position after they lose to a bunch of "Racist Terrorists." Because i really do believe the Left/Democrats are going to get Bitch-Slapped very hard in 2012. It's gonna be fun.

Funny how "we won" when Obama gets to spend more, raised the debt ceiling and "maybe" we will get spending cuts later--MAYBE later. Yeah right!

That's winning?

THAT'S BS!

Obama won, the Republicans caved, and the Washington Insiders are now trying to find a scape goat that fits their elitist bigotry.

But, blaming the Tea Party IS like a addict blaming the Betty Ford Center for why he is an addict.

It's pathetically transparent, and I don't even see how liberals think they can get away with it.

However, liberals are so much of a hive mind sans ANY logic or reason, I'm sure in their insanity, they think this smear actually works.
