OK, this is my last Cory Booker post. Promise.
Did you catch Mayor Booker's DNC speech last night? It was, interesting.
Our platform calls for significant cuts in federal spending. Our platform calls for a balanced deficit reduction plan …
This just in, the Federal Deficit is now Sixteen Trillion Dollars. (Cue my New York Lotto Jackpot Guy voice!) "That's SIXTEEN TRILLION dollars!"
Our platform calls for a balanced deficit reduction plan where everyone, from elected leaders to the wealthy and super-wealthy, pay their fair share. And when your country is in a costly war, with our soldiers sacrificing abroad and our nation facing a debt crisis at home, being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare. it's patriotism.
Did you want to stand up and salute the flag after hearing that? Well, didja?
Nope? Me neither. Obama can't spell deficit reduction, let alone do anything to curb federal spending. To assert otherwise defies credulity.
As for higher taxes being "patriotic", Joe Bidenopoulos already covered that back in 2008. To what we might call, um, limited effect. So when Charlie Rangel and TurboTax Timmy Geithner finally pay their back taxes, call me.
For that matter, when the more than 279,000 federal employees and retirees who owe back taxes pay their $3.4 billion tab, maybe we can talk about fair shares.
Closer to your glass house Mr. Mayor, 36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes. Maybe you can ask your friend Mark Zuckerberg to cover their vig, seeing as how they can't bother to pay their "fair share" on their own while you hosers are busy demonizing guys like me.
Here's what I think. Your idea of patriotism only applies to rich guys. Rich guys who support Republicans to be exact. When it comes to your own team, tax returns are what you use to bludgeon Mitt Romney. Not something most Democrats have ever personally felt the need to pay attention to.
Or did John Kerry come clean with that whole Rhode Island vs Massachusetts yacht registration thing? And Warren Buffett; is he still fighting the IRS over the more than one billion he owes? He is? Gee, imagine that.
As for those "soldiers sacrificing abroad", spare me the crocodile tears. Barry campaigned on a theme of bringing them all home. Four years later and he's dropping drones on American citizens while practicing escalatio on the Afghanis and amazingly I haven't heard peep one from the peaceniks.
You also forgot to cite a pretty significant change to your party's platform. One that you must've had a hand in, seeing as how you were the Chairman of the Platform Committee and all. Allow me to refresh your memory — you removed the section that called for isolating Hamas until it "renounces terrorism".
So I guess Democrats are OK with Hamas terrorism now? Someone really oughta mention that to your Jewish supporters. You know, so they're fully up to speed on your party's priorities.
More Taxes and More Terrorism, the cornerstone of Barak Obama's re-election campaign! #Winning
