David Dreier, from behind the Orange Curtain, is trying to defend

Repub opposition to President Obama's policies.
It galls me that this no longer so closeted gay man supported Prop.8 and every other anti-gay bill he's seen.
He was just on Hardball.

1. As soon as he started speaking I would hit the mute button

I thought our Dem Congressman did well with his analogy of our situation being like us running up a down elevator. If we stand still we only go backward or worse.

2. Tax cuts taxcuts taxcutsaxcutstaxcutst....

No government employyeeessssss!!!!!! Private industryyyyyy!!!!!!!


He sounded totally demented, as if he has no clue as to what is going on in the real world.

I am so glad that the Republic party has only one tune to sing, and no one wants to hear it anymore.

5. Hey! If the Bush administration had not tanked the economy,

maybe we could have more tax cuts. But we can't bail out AIG and Goldman Sachs on what the average American earns in a year. The only reason that Americans have been able to buy all that junk from Walmart is that they took out huge loans on their overpriced houses. It won't work any more. Somebody has to pay the piper. Sorry, Repubs, but your financial wizards, like Phil Gramm, got us into the mess. And your taxes are going to have to get us out.

3. Even if Dreier HADN'T explicitly tried to solicit a male friend of mine

IN FRONT OF MY FRIEND'S WIFE at a fundraiser in Orange County, I still would hate him. He's beyind the pale.
