The Blue-State Suicide Pact

The Blue-State Suicide Pact. “The almost uniform support of blue states’ congressional representatives for the administration’s campaign for tax ‘fairness’ represents a kind of bizarre economic suicide pact.” Well, they don’t mind, why should anyone else? Oh, and this: “Never murder your opponent when he is committing suicide.” ~ W. Churchill

  • Not to worry, it will soon be very easy to identify one of these Blue States with just a single glance. They will all look like Detroit.

  • I just received my tax return for 2011 back from the IRS. It puzzles me!!!
    They are questioning how many dependents I claimed.

    I guess it was because of my response to the question: "List all dependents?"

    I replied: 12 million illegal immigrants; 3 million crack heads;

    42 million unemployed people on food stamps,

    2 million people in over 243 prisons;

    Half of Mexico ; and 535 persons in the U.S. House and Senate."

    Evidently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

    I KEEP ASKING MYSELF, WHO THE HELL DID I MISS?

    • Yeah, it's not like they're capable of seizing any opportunity here. I swear that the RNC 'leadership' are registered donks.

  • Not to worry. The Republicans will screw up this golden opportunity and wind up looking like a bunch of dumbasses again. The dems will outsmart them by saying the tax cuts came too late to help and lay the blame on the R's. The republican party is led by a bunch of slackjawed dipshits that are clueless when it comes to offense.

    • re: "The republican party is led by a bunch of slackjawed dipshits that are clueless when it comes to offense." More like: "The republican party is led by a bunch of clueless slackjawed dipshits."

      • For the life of me, I can't comprehend how the GOP can not see that appeasing the left has gotten them nothing more than a kick in the balls.

        • Not to mention the public perception that the left is then owed an apology for having to kick the GOP in the balls.
