Political Logic


Senator Harkin (Democrat/Cornfield Communist) says the Republicans, in holding out for approval of a new oil pipeline crossing the Dakotas before voting for an extension of the payroll tax extension, are attempting to cause the economy to become bad enough for it to negatively affect the Obama's re-election effort.

Which part of building and maintaining an international, multi-state energy delivery system is it that will hurt his image? The increased jobs? Increased tax revenue? Lower cost petroleum products?

Perhaps it's because the pipeline will cross through areas with low taxes, low union participation, and high expectations of creating value from natural resources instead of simply declaring them off-limits to the peasants who will simply sully their pristine, sublime undeveloped state.

Both of them would be better suited to Venezuela. They love job-destroying demagogues down there.

The two of them - the Cornfield Communist and the Senator from Saturday Night Live - together in one spot?

So much concentrated SUCK in one spot it's amazing the world didn't implode!

They don't actually understand how economics works, but they definitely understand how to blame others for the wreck they've turned our economy into. You know, I think Barney Frank honestly does not understand how the things he did helped wreck the housing market. I don't think he has the slightest clue.
