Balderdash! Sen. Rand Paul demolishes
Obama’s sequester scare tactics

Washington Examiner, by Charlie Spiering

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/22/2013 2:18:24 PM

On FOX News this morning, Sen. Rand Paul may have just delivered the most pointed response to President Obama’s scare tactics on the sequester. “I would say balderdash,” Paul said after the FOX host asked for his response. “It’s untrue, unfair, dishonest, disingenuous. The president is making stuff up.” Paul added that Obama’s “histrionics” were “beneath the office of the presidency,” criticizing him for scaring Americans over any cuts to federal government spending. “It is the least we can do,” Paul said about the spending cuts. “Our country is drowning in a sea of debt, borrowing $50,000 a second.

Comments:
Excellent! Where is Boehner and the rest of the Republicans?? Fox would be more than happy to give them a forum.

It is SO refreshing to see someone stand up to this gangbanging thug. Way better than Miss McConnell waiting for a chin/spine transplant.

Don´t forget Poppycock !

Myth and shibboleth !

Forked tongued fabrications!

Anyone who lived through the Prop. 13 era in Cali-Mexia has seen this movie before.

They told us straight up that if prop 13 passed we would have no fire dept.....no teachers.....no police.

Then it passed and the government sucked it up and got the job done anyway.

(...as much as they EVER got the job done.)

We seriously need more people like Rand Paul elected. In less than 1 minute he completely demolished 0bama on sequester, gave easily understood facts and called B0 out for acting unpresidential. In less than 1 minute!

What I´ve not been able to understand is why they cannot just flat out say: "He´s lying." The noun/verb seems to be taboo for politicians.

What OP posted. Boehner and the GOP leadership are part of the problem - that´s why they´re parroting some of the Democrat talking points.

I want the sequestration to take place. To paraphrase Pelosi: we have to let it happen to see its real effects (which will be minimal). Our military survived Utah Beach. They can cope with this.

...must say that the more I see of Rand and listen to what he has to contribute, the more I like. Doesn´t waste a lot of time with "Washington speak" and cuts to the problem...

Rand Paul may well demolish Obama´s foolish tactics, but only if people hear him. The MSM does a very effective job of keeping this type of response off the air or off the front pages. We see it and say yippy, but most don´t see it at all.

#2, you are exactly correct, I lived through Prop 13. It was not just fire and police, they DISTINCTLY said:

Garbage pickup will be cut (how, when we pay directly for that, but never mind)

Schools will be shuttered

Parks will be closed

Streetlights will no longer be lit

I remember that well, as it was right when I was turning 18 and became active in what was going on politically. None of these things, of course, happened.

Laughingly, you know what the liberals say when I bring up this point?

"It´s because of Prop 13 that this state has tremendous debt".

That´s right. Our success in curbing insane property tax that was DRIVING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES is the reason we have financial problems in California.

You cannot make this stuff up.

What keeps businesses lean and competitive is the downturns in the economy and other factors that require hard decisions to be made in order to survive. And the only way to make government do the same is to starve it. It will complain and squirm and feign catastrophe but in the end make decisions that better serves the people.

And that is why only the bare minimum of things should be given over to the government. We see today what happens when it is given too much......a monster is created that destroys us all.

Well, let´s see. How much is the sequester that the resident in the people´s house signed into law last year - 22 Billion or something like that? So, apparently, it takes that amount of money to run the government because if the sequester stays, babies will die, children will starve, 800,000 employees laid off at the Pentagon, air traffic controllers out, airports shut down, no more teachers, and I don´t remember the rest of the litany. So, why do they need more taxes????? It is plain and simple extortion Chicago style.

I looked "balderdash" on dictionary.com. An obsolete definition of the term is "a muddled mixture of liquors." I love it! You´ve got to be drunk on hooch (a) to say this stuff that miserable SOB we call president says and (b) to believe it.

Of course, the LSM are handing out the drinks to the Lo-Fo´s all the time. And that SOB is drunk with power.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
