The GOP = Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy…it never seems to go out of style.
During President Obama’s National Prayer Breakfast Speech, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga) walked out because “he was disturbed and offended by the president’s use of prayer and reflection time for partisan politics and class warfare.”
[Barack Obama]
“And I think to myself, if I’m willing to give something up as somebody who’s been extraordinarily blessed, and give up some of the tax breaks that I enjoy, I actually think that’s going to make economic sense,” the president said. “But for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus’s teaching that ‘for unto whom much is given, much shall be required.’”
I suppose I’d be disappointed as well if someone really believed in the same views I claimed to follow but never really gave a shit about. In reality if you are a Christian and a Republican, THEN YOU ARE NOT A TRUE CHRISTIAN!! Both philosophies are incompatible.
Christianity is about helping the needy, no matter the cost to yourself. When was the last time you saw the GOP trying to help the poor? Last time I checked, Obama as had to almost bend over backwards to extend unemployment benefits and the payroll tax cut.
Stay classy Phil Gingrey.
I never understood interventions. What’s the point of being told you drink too much from a room full of reasons why you drink in the first place?

The House GOP Finally Stop Acting like Bitches…For Now
So John Boehner and his House Posse finally caved in and gave the middle class the two month payroll extension they (we) deserve. This tax cut should have been for all of 2012, but we all know the GOP would never let that happen. If they did, it would give President Barack Obama tremendous momentum during his re-election campaign.
The Republicans wanted this bill to fail, so they could blame President Obama for raising taxes on the middle class and cutting off unemployment benefits. They believed Obama was going to veto anything with the Keystone XL oil pipeline attached to it. So the GOP decided to add the pipeline nonsense. When the compromised bill passed the Senate and Obama chose not to veto it (money for the middle class isn’t something you should play around with), some of the House Republicans started sweating like a hooker in church. Even though the Republicans were getting their damn pipeline, they didn’t want Obama to get credit for the extension. So they started bitching and moaning about how they wanted the year extension all along, and it was the Democrats who were blocking them. Pricks.
They probably were stalling so they could find something to add to the bill so Obama would veto it for sure. Thank God more people than they expected (the public, the President, Senate Republicans etc.) saw through their childish bullshit and demanded they sign the damn bill.
After this small victory for the Democrats, I don’t even want to think about what machinations the Republicans will come up with when the two month extension is over.
[Stay Classy Republicans…Stay Classy]

Stay Classy Republicans…Stay Classy
House Speaker John Boehner held a news conference on Wednesday (12/21/2011) demanding Democrats to return from vacation so the payroll tax cut could be extended. I guess he didn’t think House Democrats would call his grandstanding bluff.
When the House of Representatives were gaveled into session, Steny Hoyer (Democratic Minority Whip) attepted to bring the Senate payroll tax cut extension up for a vote. His effort unfortunately was in vain. The Republican presiding officer (Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick) refused by walking off the House floor and out of the room without even acknowledging Hoyer’s motion.
“You are walking away just as so many Republicans have walked away from middle-class Americans,” Hoyer shouted.
It’s bad enough House Republicans want to stick it to the middle class by not extending the payroll tax cut, but to not even let Democrats talk about it is asinine to say the least.
This is more proof the GOP are hell-bent on fighting the Democrats on anything and everything, while acting like a spoiled child. Even if it means hurting this country.
So when you look at your paycheck and realize your tax cut isn’t there, go find the nearest Teabagger and shove a spiked baseball bat up their colon. The GOP has no intention of participating in a properly functioning government and the Tea Party is too stupid to realize it.
Just think about this for a little while. The Republican party, the people the Tea Party supported (because they can’t stand seeing a Black man as President) with a passion are trying to raise their taxes. Oh the irony. Oh the stupidity.
If they payroll tax cut is not extended by the end of this month, close to 160 million people would see their payroll tax for Social Security change from to 4.2 percent from the 6.2 percent. It will also cause a cut in fees paid to doctors who accept Medicare and a lapse in jobless benefits.
Stay classy Republicans…stay classy.
