I don’t have a muscle car, but I want a 2011 Mustang with the new 5.0 liter V8. If I can’t get one because the Greenpeace alarmists say so, I’m switching my party affiliation from Democrat to Libertarian.

Because we spend more than the next 14 countries combined on military — and yet conservatives traditionally think we don’t spend enough.

What about spending on the VA? How does Mr./Ms. Conservative feel about that? Because it’s a government health care system.

And what about Medicare? ditto, another government health care system.

Or what about Social Security? we all pay taxes for this safety net, are they okay with seniors not having to live in cardboard boxes eating dog food?

What about NASA and NOAA? Could they not see the last several hurricanes coming? if they did, you can remind them we paid for the largest part of technology development which has gone into weather forecasting through these agencies. Heck, farmers are more efficient at crop planning because of these services; are they okay with having enough food to eat?

Jeebus. “Conservative” has become synonymous with “moron.”

If the gubment wanted to do something, why not help the auto repair guys that are far more numerous than the dealers, and help everyone repair their existing cars to be less polluting, make 50 times the effective vehicles covered under the program, and help both citizens and workers. No, they gave the money to the lowest form of human garbage. Car dealers. Only real estate salespeople lie more. They just don’t have the style that a car dealer has selling that bright shiny little pimple on their butt.
the only people that benefitted are those that could get financing for a car. Do you understand? NO ONE that needs the money got it.
Where in the hell are our priorities?

That’s just a quick list from the top of the brain

Gee, the gov’t cannot figure out how to give away a billion dollars to people who want to buy cars ~ and *you* wanna hand over a bajillion kajillion dollar health care system to some phantom gov’t agency and it supposedly will be paid for by gov’t management?

It’s a dopey argument, to be sure. I pointed out in rebuttal the 1/4 million low mpg cars off the highway, the 1/4 million new vehicles on the highway, the impact on the dealerships, the impact on the financing industry (because these folks probably needed new loans to make up the difference after the $ 4500). There’s probably more arguments, but I’m running out of ‘em.

What I’m looking for from you lovely folks is: how do I re-but the ‘no big government’ argument with this fool? I’m looking for things like, as a consultant (as I am), he probably has to collect unemployment between gigs because of the nature of the business. What other day-to-day things can I point out he benefits from on a daily business, thanks to ‘big government’?

May I just say to you all how sorry we Californians are for her?

Hold on… Breaking… Boehner saying this is still more proof that health care reform efforts hurt seniors…
