TAX AND SPEND PARTY AT IT AGAIN
By Tweed
For years now, the only vertabrae in the spineless GOP philosophy has been 'lower taxes'. Whether warranted or fiscally imprudent, the GOP has always sought our support by handing out a few bucks here or there.
Now, that lone vertabrae is crushed. GOP controlled states such as OH, ID and GA are not only spending like there is no tomorrow (not a bad decision in light of our current President), those nutty conservatives are raising taxes. Even in VA, with a Democratic governor, the GOP controlled legislature has upped taxes.
This philosophical reversal has conservatives worried. "What are we if we don't buy votes?" Intoned one legislator. "Now we're raising taxes to pay for what we spend. We may as well be Democrats."
Another Republican was better able to explain the decision to tax and spend. "Under Clinton, everything was just so good. We got spoiled. We simply failed to prepare for the worst once Bush got into office. I'm mean, Clinton was a terrible president and Bush is awesome, but uuhhmm, you know....uuhhmm. Clinton got a blow job."
