It's only a told you so post when I tell you so. Now how is it that I can tell you so? Because, wait for it, I ****IN TOLD YOU SO! Oh that must sting. Cry, whine, make your limp excuses then go sulk, I give no **** because

All those facts and logical ideas and you said, na, I'll vote for that Romney guy and all his s*** which sounds stunningly like the other guys s***. refer to
Image

Compromise your principles and you got nothing to show for it. Well, you know what comes next
Image

Just how much did I tell you so? Like this much.
Image

Sure, we are all ****ed, but at least I won't have to carry the scarlet letter of getting played by the GOP before my raping by the Democrats. It's like, it's like insult to injury, but hey
Image

Just a warning to all of you. This is a preview of the next FOUR FRICKIN YEARS. I will remind all of you Romney folks at every opportunity what you did. I will tear at your effected outrage at the status quo by reminding you that you voted for the status quo as much as any Bummer. There's no helping the Obama people so I will just let them continue to be lame and hope the feel the sting of their own philosophy like the rest of us. And in closing

I do find it interesting that this issue seems to have united us. I see people here of different ideologies all saying "let's do it!" Strange.

That's because on one side of the the cliff divers there are those that think they will still be taken care of and those on the other side of the cliff think that the government will be so busy picking up pieces that they'll finally be left the f*** alone.

Newman and Redford in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". The conversation on that scene is pretty germaine to the topic at hand too.

Butch and Sundance have been chased by a posse relentlessly and jumping off the cliff and into the river is the absolute last resort but Sundance (Redford) doesn't wasn't to jump. He finally confesses that he can't swim. Butch just laughs and says, "Hell, the fall will probably kill you."

Oh, I know! :naughty:

I was quoting from another section of the movie - when they can't seem to lose the posse and have to go to South America to elude them. :yesnod

I completely forgot about that line! Amazing considering I could remember that the name of the indian tracker is Lord Baltimore. Love the first scene with Sundance at the p0ker table shooting the gunbelt into the corner, but this is still my favourite...

Lol. Sadly I can't think of a much better reason though. What happened to those 10 to 1 spending vs tax cuts?

What happened is that Senate republicans succeeded in raising the tax limit from 200k to 400k but had to cave on spending cuts and house repubs were left out of the loop, as usual.
