One of the great thin books of all time...
The Republican Budget plan. 19 pages, no details and attacks Obama...

Why did they release this before they had any kind of details...

3. they aren't selling facts
they are selling philosophy.

Philosophy is a lot easier to support than the actual execution of that philosophy

4. Because they're idiots!
Attacking is what they do, since they don't have any good ideas!

Sick fucks, all of them.

6. Because they go all reactionary when Prez Obama calls 'em out
They had to come up with something, even if it was regurgitated Republican crap.

He's playing them for the fools they are. He knows they'll do pretty much whatever it takes to oppose or contradict him, so he dangles the bait, and they go for it.

And if they waited until they had details, they'd be too cold to read it, because hell had just frozen over.

13. To me
it's obvious why the released this garbage today. They wanted to steal the thunder from Obamas townhall. They have no plan other than tax cuts for the rich. MSNBC bought into it by cutting away from covering Obama today. Republicans acheived their goal and the media helped them.
