Republicans on the Choo Choo

"I believe it's good for America to develop a high-speed rail corridor in the Northeast corridor," Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.), the chairman of the railroad subcommittee, said according to the Connecticut Post. "It's a place we have to start, we have to accomplish it, because then I believe all of America, in the various corridors around the country, will want high-speed rail if they see success here."

Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), the chairman of the whole committee, also said Friday he was "pleased that President Obama has helped to launch a system for improved passenger rail service for our nation."

Well, if they want Choo Choo, the middle class isn't paying for it, that leaves the wealthy.

Tea Party supporting Debt and Spending?

I hear a report that DeMint, member of the Republican Communist front, is supported by Tea party.
Take a look,. this idiot is a member of the Dick 'Deficits Don't matter' Cheney group, personally responsible for over $4 trillion in catastraphic debt and spending by Bush. He also seems to be one of those religious psychotics.

If this nutcase is part of Tea party, count me out.

Same deal for Marc Thiessen

He complains:

Bottom line: In a speech that went on for 6,849 words, Obama dedicated a grand total of 792 words to national security and foreign policy.

Same deal, you propose raising the top marginal rate to 50% and I agree to a little more war than I otherwise would have. Until I hear that, you remain on the Republican Communist watch list.

Weekly Standard still pushes more spending and debt

Robert Kagan touts the Communist line:

No serious budget analyst or economist believes that cutting the defense budget will aid economic recovery in the near term—federal spending on defense is just as much a job-producing stimulus as federal spending on infrastructure.

Same Big Government Conservative bullshit.
If Robert agreed to raise the top marginal rate to 50%, then I might agree to fewer defense cuts. Until that moment, the Weekly Standard remains on my Communist Front list.

Victor Davis Hanson. Big Government Conservative?

He hints that Clinton was able to revive the economy with lower taxes, or so Victor claims that Clinton heard the appeal of a conservative America.

I quit reading his column at that point, because Clinton raised taxes. If Victor wants Obama to follow Bubba's footsteps, then Obama will allow the Bush tax cuts to expire, then deal with a split government, Republican control of the House, at a minimum. That was the Clinton formula.

Please, Victor, show more science and less punditry, otherwise you will sound like one of those Progressives, or worse, a Big Government Conservative, I can hardly tell the difference between the two.

Who are the real socialists?

Who are the Communists?

Just a reminder about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republicans.
