I am sure his ambivalence to the Civil Rights act did not help.

I had the "pleasure" of meeting this loon when he came into my place of business during a long layover from the airport.

All day, I smoked cigars and drank coffee whilst a litany of friends and consumers came through being subjected to his dogma. Many, as sport, involved him in a myriad of conversations covering a wide variety of political subjects.

I've located someone more backward than our resident right-wing idiots.

Moronic.

Yes, "......1964, when the party left us.".

Let's see. What else was going on in 1964-'65.

I think holding the debt ceiling hostage in an election year would be great for the Democrats.

Do these guys not realize that they lost the FIRST time on this issue and it cost them huge political capital?

Because they are low-life scum who should be taken out and shot, if only the bleeding hearts would let us....

Looks like this hasn't made it here yet.

Last week, Congressional leaders reached a compromise budget agreement that averts yet another disastrous fiscal fight. On its face, that’s a commendable achievement but not worthy of the political preening that took place after Congress simply did its job. That’s because there is a catch.
While the budget agreement may help to avert another government shutdown, it does so in no small part through unprecedented cuts to veterans’ benefits, including a 1% reduction in promised cost-of-living increases for military retirees under 62 years old. That amounts to a $6 billion cut in benefits.
...........
Paul Ryan himself went on the Hugh Hewitt Show and boasted that while Democrats wanted no cuts, he “got 70% of what [he] wanted.” Ryan further defended these cuts in a USA Today op-ed while writing that we owe our troops “a secure retirement when they come home.”

Oh really?

[QUOTE]For me, there's simply no choice between responsible reforms of military compensation and making what our military leadership has called "disproportionate cuts to military readiness and modernization." Every time we kick the can down the road, we put our troops' combat readiness at risk. This agreement put forward one reform option, and I invite others to do the same.
Our troops have been willing to sacrifice everything for this country. We owe it to them to give them the best equipment on the battlefield and a secure retirement when they come home.

Huh??? So he's looking after the veterans by cutting $6 billion from their benefits? Good plan!
