An underhanded way to avoid lying under oath. The term is derived from Ronald Reagan's comments and testimony during the Iran-Contra hearings. When asked difficult questions about his involvement in illeagally funding the Contras, rather than pleading the 5th he would just say "I don't recall."
Usually when someone refuses to answer a question during testimony they look guilty, Reagan just sounded like a dumbass. Was it just a scam or had the alzheimers already started to affect him?

When testifying during the senate hearings, Tony Hayward, was reaganing when he said he was "not involved in that decision," several times, rather than admit the truth: BP fucked up!

Get the reaganingmug. Fiscal responsibility is a term republicans pull out for campaign ads every election cycle. The G.O.P. claims to be fiscally responsible while claiming their Democratic opponents are not.
Obviously, the Republican Party has no idea what being "fiscally responsible" actually means! A budget should include adequete revenue (i.e. taxes) to cover all the obligations. Republicans think the only way to balance a budget is to cut taxes. Democrats, like Bill Clinton, know that cutting expenses AND increasing revenue is the only way to balance a budget. Democrats' tax and spend idea is a lot more logical than the Republicans' borrow and spend policy!
Remember that about 75% of our national debt was caused by the last 3 Republican presidents! (Reagan, Bush41 and Bush43) The last two times the national budget was balanced a Democrat was president!! (Lyndon Johnson 1969 and Bill Clinton 2000)

The tea party claims to be concerned about fiscal responsibility, however they didn't seem concerned about it when George W Bush was cutting taxes and running up huge debts while trying to fight two insane and inappropriate wars!

This includes the long term problems caused by the poor management of our environment, deregulation of industry and finance, the disastrous foreign policy, tax cuts for the rich, Patriot Act, erosion of our constitution, the massive deficits and the worst economy in 80 years!!!
Many school kids in 2010 will not know what prosperity was like or how America was strong and respected in the world before Bush 43 ruined our country. They are caught in the LOST DECADE, hopefully their kids can see America return to glory!

Get the LOST DECADEmug. A strange phenomenon caused by eating corn. The poop that follows the eating, even a small amount, of corn. This poop mysteriously contains visable pieces of whole kernel corn. One of life's great mysteries.
We had corn-on-the-cob for the 4th of July, the next morning I saw kernels of corn in my shit!
"Wow! Cornpoop!"
"Wow! Cornpoop!"

Get the cornpoopmug. Constitution Shredders first gained power during the Bush Administraion. After the "events" of 9/11/01, George W. Bush pushed for more government control to "fight terrorism." Bush's Patriot Act, warrantless wiretapping and censorship marked the beginning of the end of the Bill of Rights. The Right Wing nut jobs' continuous anti-gay and "pro-life" actions are attacks on the "equal protection under the law" provsions of the constitution. Now in 2010 as the anti-immigrant movement grows, John Boehner and other G.O.P. Congressmen and Senators are talking about changing the 14th Ammendment. They want to deny U.S. Citizenship to children born in America if the parents are illeagal immigrants!
The Republican Party is full of Constitution Shredders!
Stop the madeness and save our Constition and maintain our rights!

1.) A small town business that is devastated when walmart comes to town. When walmart comes to town, the small family-owned stores are often driven out of business.
2.) Workers that lose their jobs when walmart's pro-china policies force companies to move factories to China to keep costs down. The money grubbing scum now running walmart have a "low prices at any cost" policy that costs America 1000s of jobs every year.
Sam Walton (walmart founder) would be horrified by this pro-china bullshit! Walton used to brag about his pro-America business policies and the jobs they created! My how times have changed!
3.) People who manage to keep their jobs are often forced to accept lower wages with the threat of their company moving to China.
4.) Taxpayers everywhere that have to pay more in state taxes to cover the taxes walmart avoids (see walmart tax)
5.) CD, DVD and even books that are censored for sale at walmart (see walmartized)

Many American workers become walmart victims when their employers are pressured (threatened) by Walmart to move operations to China to "cut costs."
The huge buying power of the walmart empire has the power to ruin a business if it doesn't comply with their demands and their victims are powerless to fight it!

Get the walmart victimsmug. A person, corporation or government that benefits China in a financial or political way. Many American companies are Pro-China; they set up factories in China so the money grubbing scum can avoid paying their workers a decent wage. These anti-American bastards would rather send billions of American dollars to China than pay Americans a decent wage. The Pro-China people are destroying this country and dramatically increasing our trade deficit. All of the American money going to China has strengthened their military power and their economy and is weakening the power of the U.S.A. The Chinese government owns a major chunk of our public debt.
Most furniture, clothing and footwear is made in China by Pro-China manufacturers based in the U.S.A. This money grubbing scum is more concerned with profits than workers rights, the environment or the long-term consequences of China's growing economic and military power!
The anti-worker fuckwits running Wal-mart are at the forefront of the Pro-China movement--they'll do anything to drive down pay and "keep costs down."
Pro-business Republicans are also Pro-China. The greedy fuckwit corporate owned G.O.P. does all it can to help businesses move good jobs from America to China. The g.o.p. doesn't seem to realize (or care) that China owns more than 15% of our debt. As we continue to borrow from China and buy Chinese made stuff, China gets stronger and we get weaker!
