The Definition of Hypocrisy

You have to hand it to Republicans, they have no shame.

“Congress cannot keep writing checks and simply pass IOUs to our children and grandchildren,” says Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.

House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio: “How much debt are we going to pile on future generations?”

Are these people for real?  Where was this fiscal conservatism during the last eight years?  From now on, every time a Republican whines about deficits/debt and taxes they should be reminded that they own the deficit/debt and that taxes are the price you pay for an irresponsible, drunken, eight year spending spree.

Republican leadership would be wise to tread carefully.  The American people are desperate for solutions – something noticeably missing from the Republican platform – not revisionist history.  Obstructionism won’t be viewed in a “patriotic” light, especially as unemployment figures soar.  The time has come to turn their bumper sticker politics of Country First into reality.
