On spending and taxes:
"We can't end spending while discussing tax increases. Tax increases 'feed the beast' and only whets the appetite of those who divide the spoils -- and worse, it encourages more groups to come to the table to get more of the revenue. We cannot cut spending without first removing the incentive to spend, and that comes from tax increases."
On General Sanchez' Iraq speech, as mutilated by our Lame Stream pals, specifically the WaPo:
"..... it seems highly ironic that the journalists covering the story attempted to cover up the acidic, biting, and mostly accurate criticisms of their own performance in this war while giving front-page treatment to Sanchez' criticisms of the political structure at the same time. "
(Imagine that!)
"If Sanchez has such credibility and standing to bring this kind of criticism to bear on Washington, why didn't the Post and other news agencies give the same level of exposure to his media criticisms as well? He basically accuses them of cynically selling out the soldiers to defeat American efforts to win the war, and made sure that those accusations came first before his assessment of the political failures, but you'd never know that from the Post."
On Mitt Romney's speech:
"Romney is doing a great job of firing up the crowd on a low-taxes platform. He committed to 'killing the death tax', and he wants to eliminate taxes on savings accounts altogether in order to encourage savings.
He told a joke about John Edwards' tax plan to allow people to save $250 a year without taxes, which Romney said wouldn't pay for a house, a college education, or even a John Edwards haircut."
