Republicans: "U.S. economy is robust and job creation is strong"
Via the Democratic Congressional Committee Campaign, which linked to the article from Rochesterturningpoint, I present to you a screen capture from a page at The National Republican Campaign Committee. (Click to enlarge.)
The Webpage reads as follows:
Economy
Thanks to Republican economic policies, the U.S. economy is robust and job creation is strong.
Republican tax cuts are creating jobs and continuing to strengthen the economy, yet there is still more to do so that every American who wants a job can find one. Congressional Republicans understand that many Americans are working hard to make ends meet. That is why the GOP continues to push for pro-growth policies that create jobs and oppose tax increases that would add a burden to working families and set back our economy. Republicans believe we should:
- Allow families to plan for the future by making tax relief permanent.
- Encourage investment and expansion by restraining federal spending and reducing regulation.
- Make our country less dependent on foreign sources of energy through a comprehensive national energy policy.
- Expand trade and levels the playing field to sell American goods and services across the globe.
- Protect small business owners and workers from excessive frivolous lawsuits that threaten jobs across America.
- Lower the cost of health care for small businesses and working families through Association Health Plans, tax-free Health Savings Accounts, tax credits for employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts, Medical Liability Reform, and health information technology.
Additionally, to keep our economy growing, we must reform the tax code to make it simpler, fairer, and more pro-growth. Embarking on a bipartisan effort to reform and simplify the tax code is one of the goals of the Republicans in Congress.
That's right, folks. According to the Republicans, "...the U.S. economy is robust and job creation is strong."
Yes, the Republicans have finally lost it. They are offically, certifiably insane.
Crazy.
Nuts.
Cuckoo.
Off their meds BIG time.
Crackers.
'Round the bend.
Bonkers.
Bananas.
Whacko.
Send them to the zoo and watch the monkeys run.
Call 'em "Ed" so everybody will yell, "Hey, Special Ed!" when they walk by.
(That last one was insensitive.)
Anyway, there you have it: the official Party of the Opposition is now in full regalia, letting the American people know that it's ready, willing, and able to retake command of this nation whenever the citizens are once again burning with desire to commit collective, national suicide by means of the time-honored, much-heralded method known around the world and across history as Death by Stupid.
The Dark Wraith will now accept inquiries on just how stupid stupid can get.

From the site Norwegianity, a What's good for the goose:
“My disenchantment with what passes for mainstream conservatism, embodied in the present Bush administration and its groupies, is just about absolute. … [M]y views have come to coincide with the critique long offered by the radical left: It is the mainstream itself, the professional liberals as well as professional conservative who define the problem.”

I just went to the NRCC page, and see that the entire Issues section has been deleted- I was just hoping to see if they included a piece on what a resounding success their Global War on Terror has been as well.
All joking aside, I'm deeply curious exactly how the Repubs are going to reinvent themselves for 2010. Those voters currently most devoted to the party are so wildly socially conservative as to be totally out of the mainstream. I surmise that the page was a trial balloon, deflating as quickly as it was launched.

Yeah, the make-over should be pretty...interesting. What worries me is that, with a supposed Centrist in the White House, ( "We won!" notwithstanding ) talking about "truly bipartisan relations", will the media help out by pushing more and more rightward, leading the sheep to what looked like greener pastures, but instead was just vile poisoned effluent-covered weeds, unpalatable to anyone making less than 7 figures a year?

Gob-smackingly astounding that they would blatantly promote such a brazen distortion of the facts. Jeez, it's not like the economic problems haven't been all over the news over the past few months. Cripe.
...They took the Issues section down? Thank goddess you caught that and put it here for the record, Wraith! Kudos.

We used to say "Profound stupidity should be painful or fatal." But then we realized we were missing the point...it IS painful; but unfortunately to OTHER people instead of to the idiots in question. And I don't care about sensitivity---special ed about sums it up.

Death by Stupid.
Not to be confused with death by forgetting how to breath; No, this is really stupid.
"Look, we all know that the party leadership has absolutely no interest in any of you peons, okay? You know it, and as our site has proven, we don't care if you know it. We just need you to vote for our guys, see; Otherwise, those crazy insane Democrats will win, and we all know how important it is to sacrifice for your country, so voting for Republicans must be seen as a patriotic sacrifice! So go vote R!"
