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!

Get the fiscal responsibility mug.People who don't have any desire to see the heinous atrocities of the Bush43 era end. (i.e. bush voters and and Rush Limbaugh ditto heads
The Republican Attack Machine is going all-out to prevent Barack Obama from fixing the very serious problems caused by the arrogance and incompentence of the Bush administration.
For some sick reason, the Republican Party DOES NOT WANT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TO HAPPEN: 1) the Bush Depression to end, everyone to be able to afford health care, the american auto industry to survive, the working class to have any control over their own destiny, or Obama to succeed in any way!!!!
The G.O.P. hates Obama so much they are willing to sacrifice everything to see him fail!!!
The fact the Obama is the exact opposite of George w Bush (the worst president ever) it seems like he should be someone to be proud of and support.
It makes sense that there are so many Bush haters on UD, but why are there so many Obama haters here?

Obama Haters would rather see the whole U.S.A. go down in flames, than help Obama fix the Bush Economy and provide affordable health care to non-rich americans!!

Get the Obama Haters mug.Misguided fools that don't understand what the American Civil Liberties Union is all about. The aclu defends people and organizations that face threats to their Constitutional Rights. The Constitution is meant to protect Americans from the powerful government, corporations and/or individuals. Remember everyone is created equal? The aclu takes on cases to defend people's civil rights, particularly those in the 1st Ammendment: freedom of the press, religion, speech and assembly.
ACLU bashers are usually just misinformed fuckwits, however some neocons actually are opposed to the idea of a group defending the rights of the little guy.

Get the aclu bashers mug.A highly inappropriate term for the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts!
In December 2010 the tax cuts were set to expire. President Obama and the Congressional Democrats wanted to let the tax cuts for the richest 2% expire and extend the tax cuts for the other 98%. Also at this time, the federal unemployment payments were set to end. Congressional Republicans didnot want to extend the unemployment benefits because it was "too costly," so they held the long-term unemployed hostage until Democrats extended the tax cuts for the richest 2%!!!
Obviously, the Democrats went along for the sake of the unemployed and to keep the tax cuts for those that actualy needed them. Republicans showed their true colors (caring only for the rich) while the Democrats were again the ones showing fiscal resposibility!

Some fucking idiot actually called the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts the Obama Tax Cuts!!! WTF?
Obama was opposed to extending the tax cuts for the rich!

Get the Obama Tax Cuts mug.At term to describe the sad state of politics America in the 21st century.
With the increasing influence of talk radio and so-called new commentators, there is more vitriolic argumenting and shouting than ever. People like Sarah Palin,Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter and Mike Savage are ranting and raving like complete idiots. These people tear down and make up lies about people they disagree with rather than offer any solutions to the problems we face.
This toxic political atmosphere is making political campaigns longer, meaner, dirtier and more expensive every year.

Toxic political discourse is creating a lot of tension, flustration and violence, but few solutions. We need to tone down the hostility in Washington, on the radio and on cable TV, before we destroy ourselves.

Get the Toxic Political Discourse mug.Richard Laymon, Bram Stoker Award winning American author, (1947-2001)
"If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat." --Stephen King
Richard Laymon wrote disturbing, slightly sick and perhaps a bit perverted horror stories. He always took his stories a bit darker and further than Stephen King. He was never afraid of going for the gross-out.
Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Bentley Little were all Laymon fans.
Due to trouble with editors (censorship) in the U.S.A., his work is better known in Europe, Australia and the rest of the world, where his work is published in 15 languages.
Luckily for his American fans, many of Laymon's books are being restored to their original uncut form.
"No one writes like Laymon, and you're going to have a good time with anything he writes." --Dean Koontz
"One of horror's rarest talents" -- Publishers Weekly

An International Bestselling Author, Richard Laymon writes awesome horror stories such as "Beast House", "Darkness, Tell Us," and "The Traveling Vampire Show" and "the Woods are Dark."

Get the Richard Laymon mug.A term for a common, although, not common enough, fear of Sarah Palin. Unlike standard paranoia, which is an irrational fear, palinoia is a very rational and justified fear!
Anyone who pays attention to politics should realize that there are many reasons to fear the rise of the Palin patriots. As seen during the 2008 presidential campaign, Sarah Palin is frighteningly ignorant of global issues and totally clueless about how government works. She has a cult of clueless fuckwits followers that call themselves the tea party.
These scary people want to undo all of the progress made in the last 50 years!

Those who acknowledge their own palinoia, worry that anti-goverment radicals like the tea party will completely destroy America. A clueless fuckwit should never be allowed to gain so much power, remember George W Bush?
