Haha showing here his mastery of international sovereign debt, Carson vows never to raise debt ceiling as President. Also, I had no idea Rubio and Cruz were the same age.

Mr Interweb posted:They still did the same thing even when Dems controlled the senate. It takes both branches of Congress to pass a bill and the executive + the senate or the executive + house doesn't mean anymore than just the President. You need all three to really make things work, and even then you may just need a super majority in the Senate. You want proper economic planning? Then you need 60 senators, >~220 congressman, and the president. Until then, you get a little of what you want (domestic spending cap lifts, no government uncertainty in a critical time period) and a little of what you don't want. That's how the system works. '

I'm actually kind of happy to see that even crazy people who have no idea what they're talking about realize that this process is insane, at least. It's nuts that twice within the last five years we've been talking about financial armageddon not because of any kind of actual crisis, but because there's a big button with an "END THE WORLD" label and some people think that threatening to push it is a legitimate negotiation tactic.

The best part is going to be watching Trump and Carson promise more and more impossible things to one-up each other to the dwindling base.

Yeah, we get it, and it's this "system" that will cause America to (rightly) fall. You need to have 80% of the country on your side (due to gerrymandering) to do literally anything? That's a bad system of government.

Haha, this is the angriest I've ever seen Rand Paul get. This is in response to a Buzzfeed reporter who apparently has a history of criticizing Rand Paul for using fake founding father quotes:quote:"That guy," Paul said dismissively, referring to Kaczynski. "The only criticisms have come from some guy who’s a partisan. We discount partisans. However, there’s a ridiculous cottage industry out there of people who think they’re smarter than everyone else, and because certain quotes are disputed – well, yeah! If you want to say something’s not a Thomas Jefferson quote, you can get a whole book on whether it’s a quote or not." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...311445980749619

The hilarious thing is that of all the Founding Fathers conservatives could have chosen to co-opt as Christian fundamentalists, they choose the guy who was arguably the most anit-Christian of the lot. I mean, the guy made his own edited version of the Bible that got rid of all the supernatural poo poo!
