Ain't it fun when Conservatives have the stones to be.... conservative?

PIERS MORGAN, HOST: I suppose the fundamental debate that’s going to be had, though, will come down to whether the Republicans can sell to the American people that they are really concerned about jobs, about people’s livelihoods, and all the rest of it. If they’re also scratching the backs of their rich and wealthy members, which is clearly I think the flaw in the Ryan plan is that it just does. I mean, if you’re very wealthy, you’re going to be doing a lot better out of Paul Ryan than you would out of Barack Obama who believes fundamentally the rich should pay more tax.
Barack Obama loves the poor. That’s why he’s making so many more Americans poorer through his policies.
The basic argument comes down to this: Do you believe private enterprise or government creates jobs? Obama thinks it’s the latter, and his policies have followed that principle since the beginning of February 2009 and his stimulus bill. Has that worked? We have had the weakest post-WWII recovery (that’s a fact, not an opinion) and the worst job-creation environment in decades. The truth is that government doesn’t drive job creation, but it sure can strangle it — and that’s precisely what we’ve seen. If we want to put people back to work, we need to get capital engaged in private-sector growth, not seize it for more public-sector social engineering.
The Mantra Club — that sounds like a pretty good description for the national media regarding Paul Ryan and his budget, although with a few notable exceptions. Didn’t the Mantra Club have a hit back in the 80s?
