SCOTT WALKERS DETAILED JOBS PLAN FOR WISCONSIN.
Not too stupid since he’s winning.
Hey its 68 pages long! That must mean its a detailed look at the economy!
This reminds me of what people used to do in high school when assigned a 5 page paper.
I thought those margins looked awfully wide.
And there’s something else I just can’t put my finger on.
Heh. I scrolled through that whole thing, expecting a punchline. Which I didn’t see until I opened Biggirl’s second link.
To be fair, this isn’t just him being stupid. It took a little while to find out what is going on, but it appears his opponent has had a 67-page jobs plan out since the summer. Walker’s side is billing that as mostly fluff that no one reads and they are touting his plan as being common sense ideas that do not need that much length to present. They are trying to highlight that with the 68-page version.
Personally I think it is remarkably stupid to do and stupid to say that such broadly defined goals come anywhere near a real plan, but at least they had some kind of purpose in releasing it like that.
Has anyone else noticed the Republican meme floating around that the health care bill was ‘shoved down America’s throat’? Hmm, let’s see, Obama campaigned on that issue from start to finish, then he won decisively, and then he followed through with what he said he was going to do all along (more or less).
[puts on PubbieVision glasses]
OMG :eek: It was shoved down our throats :mad:
By “America’s Throat” they mean “Real Americans’ Throats” and by “Real Americans’ Throats” they mean “The Republican Party’s Throat”.
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! As gleefully reported on Rachel Maddow (she of the swan’s neck, the girlish laugh and the steel trap mind…but I digress…)
Next thing is: they take credit for the stuff people like. I swear, I’m not making this up. They know that all over the country, the mothers of young people put their kids on their insurance yesterday morning, and slept better last night. That, and “no prexisting conditions” denial for children.
So the Pubbies are set to claim that those ideas, they were Republican ideas. Its the other ideas, the bad ideas, those were the Dems. They very same guys who were willing to scream themselves hoarse and set their hair on fire to stop the HRC…are going to claim credit for it.
They do for chutzpah what Gamera does for turtles.
I got a kick out of this little except out of the ‘a pledge to America’:
I guess the government of self-appointed elites are the winners of the last election?
Odd world when ‘self-appointed’ really means ‘democratically elected’.
Will anyone really buy this bullshit? I mean, other than the usual 20%?
Sadly, yes. Many will.
That pledge is only 48 pages. I’m not impressed.
Well, if it had been, we sure would have gotten much better healthcare reform.
And can be summed up in :08 seconds.
How about throwing us non-video-accessible types a bone and tell us what Boener said in that video?
“And the point we make in this preamble to our pledge, is that we are not going to be any different than what we’ve been.”
Jon Steward did a great segment on this showing it as the exact same pledge that Republicans have given time and again. In Boehner’s case, word for word.

I christin it The Republican plague on America
And the Democrat’s in Congress should runs the Daily Show’s segment word-for-word.
Why should they risk offering an agenda or a program? Saying nothing is working for them, why take a chance?
What they are saying is, We hate the same things about Obama that you do! You already know what you hate about Obama, and we totally agree with you! But the second they come out with a program, they have to come out with priorities. Whats more important, hating teh gay or hating abortion? Well, whatever you hate more, we hate more too!
About a week ago, Sen. Jim Demint (R-SC), who’s been in DC since 1999, was quoted in the local "news"paper:
“‘You can’t change Washington unless you change people who are here,’ he said. ‘People are ready to throw out the bums.’” Cite.
And apparently nobody in SC sees the irony in his words. Now that right there’s some good market researchin’!
From the October Harper’s Index:
Someone isn’t being accountable. I’d like to see what percentage of the deficit is attributable to dealing with the financial meltdown. Something tells me the facts would reveal Obama not to be the bastard he is portrayed to be.
While I have it open, here’s another one:
Whew! Nipped that one in the bud :rolleyes:
