Breaking:House won't accept Gaddafi surrender without cuts to Medicare and Social Security,
Edited on Tue Aug-23-11 10:42 AM by drm604
House won't accept Gaddafi surrender without cuts to Medicare and Social Security, and no revenue increases.
:P

Edited to add: I don't want to take credit for this. I saw it on FaceBook and I thought that the DU community would enjoy it.

3. Yanno, this would not suprise me in the least if it was true
"The Onion" headlines and the GOP/Teabaggers are generally interchangeable.

21. I don't know why it has been so hard for dems to define the GOP for the obstructionists that they
are and how they have been holding the country hostage economically for 2.5 years. Obama has done a horrible job of fighting back.

I realize it's a comedy bit, but I wouldn't put it past any of the so-called "Democrats" in DC.

Who's in control in DC, and what's their true agenda?

30. Modern Republicans are such amazing automatons
As if on cue, all of them began bashing Obama this morning for not going into Libya soon enough. John Bolton was on Fox this morning making his mustache turn a whiter shade of pale as he tried to hammer on this point. This came on the heels of McCain and Lindsey Graham issuing the very same statement. In fact, every talking head on Fox, it seems, is saying the same thing. Obama blew it because he didn't support the rebels soon enough, whatever that means. It's like someone throws a switch and they all begin to say the same thing at the same time.

And throw another hissy fit over "gotcha questions" at the next Republican debate?

44. Fox News credits Gaddafi's surrender to Reagan's 1986 air raid on Tripoli "softening him up."
And to George Bush's 2008 executive order restoring Libya to terrorist-related lawsuit immunity.
