Nasty

Occasionally, like the proverbial broken clock, Kathie Obradovich (or as we call her -- Old Bromide), gets it right.

Obradovich: Harkin laments the nastier tone in Congress now

CommieTommie was complaining that attacks in Congress today are more personal, such as calling opponents un-American. “... I have always tried to make sure that I don’t attack anyone personally. I will go after their ideas and what they stand for, sure.”

In 2011, Harkin did question the patriotism of those calling for a government shut down.

There's no other way to take it, but as a personal attack when you called Vice President Dick Cheney a coward.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

CommieTommie has also called those he disagrees with, wacko, cult fringe and dead-beat debtors.

While advocating Obama bypass CONgress on the debt ceiling, Harkin noted there would be fallout from such a move,“The tea party people would go kind of nuts, but that’s their stock and trade.”

He's also used God to slam his opponents stating, Democrats are up and Republicans are down, and that's the way God meant it to be.

That's why with no malice and in a loving and kind way, we've also called CommieTommie -- St. Thomas of Equine Ass.

Don't Fear The Reaper?

A "cult fringe" is what Iowa's junior Senator, CommieTommie Harkin, called some Republicans in Congress.

Harkin then went on to label Republicans "dead-beat debtors" and claimed -- "Democrats are willing to do whatever is necessary to raise the debt ceiling...".

That's what we should be afraid of and the scientific community is united in that fact.

That's easy for CommieTommie to say now, but President Obama, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Harkin and 40 other Dummycrats have previously voted against raising the debt ceiling.

Harkin's diatribe continued that this vote is not for future borrowing but to pay the debts that we racked up in the past. Which, mostly was racked up by a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a Republican President in the last 8 years.

In 2007 only 5 cents of every dollar spent by the federal government was borrowed. In just four short years, that number has skyrocketed to 43 cents.

Democrats had control of both houses of CONgress beginning in January 2007 until Republicans reclaimed the House in January 2011.

The national debt when Obama took office was less than $11.3 trillion. Then in February 2009, after having taken the oath of office in January, Obama had the debt limit raised to $12.1 trillion. In December 2009 he had it raised again to $12.4 trillion, and then in February 2010 he had it raised to $14.3 trillion.

Obama has increased the debt $3 Trillion since taking office and it will be closer to $6 Trillion by the time the debt ceiling is raised.
