At what I guess is called his weekly pen-and-pad session on Tuesday, House Minority Wimp, and blowhard extraordinaire, Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) continued what can now be described as the ongoing Democrat rant, as he directed a diatribe of harsh criticism toward the Republicans in the House of Representatives. “Unfortunately, we are not yet having an adult moment,” Hoyer said “Unfortunately, we continue to hold hostage the credit of the United States and the economy of the United States and, indeed, the global markets," he said. Right, the fact that we have a Democrat accusing someone of not acting like an adult is laughable in itself. It's the Democrats' inability to behave as adults that essentially got us in this mess in the first place. And if anyone is holding anyone "hostage," it the Democrats who are holding the U.S. taxpayers, and small business owners, hostage. Hoyer characterized the current budget battle between Republicans and Democrats as a “sorry, irresponsible spectacle.” He then likened Republican leaders to baseball great Barry Bonds, saying that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the rest of the Republican leadership had done nothing but “walk” on the debt issue. “We’ve seen the Republicans walk more than Barry Bonds,” he said. Kind of a stupid analogy if you ask me. Because why is it that they have been forced to walk?
I can only assume that what this moron, Hoyer, is trying to do here, with his idiotic little Bonds reference, is to do nothing more than to try to turn the tables. He's trying to somehow create a perception here by making it look like Boehner, who, because of intransigent Democrats and their idiotic demands, has chosen to walk out of negotiations twice, is the source of the continuing stalemate. What old Steny fails to mention, however, is the fact that our "Fearless Leader," Barry "Almighty" threw a hissy fit and stormed out of a debt meeting on July 13. Hoyer also made kind of a general statement saying that Boehner’s proposal of spending cuts in exchange for a rise in the debt ceiling “is not a good one.” Ok, why, give some specifics, Steny. Hoyer said it was hypocritical that Boehner released his current plan at around 11:30 pm on Monday night, especially after Republicans had criticized Democrats for ramming through the stimulus bill and the Obamacare health care bill at the last minute. Ok wait a minute, hold your horses, when a sleazy Democrat starts talking about someone being a hypocrite it's time to send up the bullshit flag. Because there ain't no bigger hypocrites anywhere around than this pathetic band of Democrats. If we can believe what we're being told here about this debt ceiling issue, that there is some urgency to get this debt issue resolved, then I'm not sure I understand Steny's comparison. I mean where was the urgency in the shoving of "Obamacare" down our throats?
The House last week passed the “Cut, Cap, and Balance Plan,” but that was then rejected by the Democrat-led Senate with "Dingy" Harry Reid calling the worst piece of legislation in history. Hoyer said he did not think Senate Majority Leader "Dingy" Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) plan went far enough, stressing that he wanted to see $4 trillion in spending cuts. When asked by a reporter what the way out of the debt mess is, Steny responded: “The Reid plan is the way out.” Reid’s plan "claims" to cut the deficit by $2.7 trillion while Boehner’s plan cuts the deficit by $3 trillion. Despite projections that Barry "Almighty" is incurring a record amount of national debt, Hoyer continued to blame the bloated federal government on President Bush who, in Hoyer's world, somehow added $5 trillion dollars to the national debt. Hoyer said: “They [Republicans] incurred this debt. We participated in that. People were advantaged by things we bought with the money. We stabilized the economy. According to the Republicans, we are defending freedom, and I believe that, abroad, saving us from terrorism. Investing in our kid’s education, making sure the American dream is still alive. But too many people are taking a walk at a time of great crisis and challenge. Summer soldiers and sunshine patriots. That may sound corny, but this is a time of such crisis. This is when summer soldiers and sunshine patriots take a walk on their country. Not on Obama. Not on Democrats in Congress. They take a walk on their country and its people."
You know, with each passing day these Democrats sound more and more like they're loosing touch with all reality. It's like they're living in some strange alternate universe that is far, far away from the rest of us, and are now residing in their own, rather unique, little world. Personally I think they've lost their collective mind. They get in front of a television camera or a microphone and they just start to blather. They're getting to the point where they are becoming completely incoherent. They think they're making a point but it comes out as being nothing more than nonsensical gibberish. That they can continue to defend the insane amount of spending that has taken place over the course of the last two years, or about jobs that were somehow saved or about some nonexistent turn around in the economy, gives a pretty clear indication that they're losing their battle as far as being able to hold on to some semblance of sanity. They have truly slipped a cog. They have no credibility on the issues of spending, deficit reduction, taxes or anything even remotely having to do with the economy or efforts made to bring about a recovery. They have no plan, their only plan is to denigrate everyone else's plan. That's a Hell of a way to run a railroad. These people are completely unable, or unwilling, to accept and personal responsibility for what has gone on over the last two years. All that they can manage to do is to still blame Bush.
