Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, June 23, 2009

Bruce Reed: Sens. Mitt Romney and Sen. Lamar Alexander recently proposed turning over the federal government's 60 percent temporary stake in General Motors to the American people so that every household would own shares in GM. The company's current market capitalization is just $800 million, but even at its June peak of $1 billion, America's 120 million households would each receive GM stock worth $5. The Bush years may have wiped out your life savings, but the party of Lincoln will send you a five-spot to start over.

Limbaugh has called for a GM boycott to sabotage the government's plans.

That "man" is a traitor.

"I don't do boycotts," Limbaugh said during his Wednesday show. "I do not sponsor them; I do not encourage them. I never have. I think it is media childishness when people start urging boycotts. I have never, ever done such a thing, and I didn't do this with General Motors."

Limbaugh has called for a GM boycott to sabotage the government's plans.

He wants you to buy Chinese, so they can afford to prop up President Amandapajamas.

Why do Republicans hate America?

Obama is slightly better with $8.00 for a tax break.

At least the GM stock has a chance to grow and anything to get it out of the gov't hands would be a good thing--no matter how riduculous.

Republicans do not hate America, they just love money more.

See post #2

The Democrats have already made each of us $55 poorer on GM.

I don't want GM stock. Never have, never will. Anything run by a combination of the Obama Administration, the US Congress, and the UAW is going to suck. They can keep my $5, as long as they promise not to lend any more to that bunch of retards.

the limbaugh deflection didn't last too long.

I'd take my social security dollars in a private S+P 500 MF account anytime over the public plan....which is scheduled to be bankrupt in my life time.

My goodness why talk about details like actuarial details, when you can just by pig in a poke?

I would rather have a pig in a poke than the $5.

A pig is worth at least a few pounds of bacon and a poke is... well I don't know what the fuck a poke is but I'll bet it's worth more than one share of GM stock.

And I've never seen a Democrat turn down free money. Especially lately.

Gobama, and the Party of Yes! Company broke, and you need a bailout? YES! What's that? Goldman needs a few billion to pay out in record bonuses? YES! YES! Funny how libtards are so quick to play the greed card, while they're busy stuffing their pockets with taxpayers' cash. Selfish bastards.

well I don't know what the fuck a poke is

a poke is a bag my friend or what the wife will give you if you cut the grass.

How can the Republicans not hate America when they hate so many Americans? And hate all of the ideals that it stands for? I think it is time to admit they are very unamerican.

I always thought it was "government by the people", they think it is only by and for the wealthy like thinking people, and of everyone else.

But it seems to me the people do own GM. And it is too bad that their ideology ran the economy so much into the ground, that they ran the country so much into debt, that it will take years and years and years for us to recover.

What that would realy do is take away thge government control of GM and return it to the other stock holders.

It really isn't that Republicans hate America, they just conflate big business and small business and somehow have the mistaken idea that what is good for international corporations is also good for themselves. International Corporations also don't hate America, they are indifferent about America.

And I've never seen a Democrat turn down free money.

Or a NOpublican-they may have called the Obama stimulus package communistic muslimoid evilness, but they all lined up and put their hands out for it. Even Rick "Icanstayor Icango" Perry took 10 mill to pimp his crib. Or do we call it the Dallas Dasha now?
Just read where Piyrush Jindu the Hindu is offering some guy $79 million to build cars in Louisiana. Maybe we should call him Bobbie the Bolshie?

$5 richer > 6 Trillion poorer

NOpublican. You're funny.

The Party Of YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Whatever you want, Obama's yo man! Yes baby!!! Wanna close Gitmo? Yes! What? You wanna keep it open? Yes to that too! You wanna do a cap-n-trade to save the environment? Yes!! What? You need a subsidy to pay for your cap and trade? Yes to you too! You want help with your mortgage? Yes again! You want a bailout from all the people who don't want their mortgages bailed out? Yes baby! Just send your laundry list to Washington, and Thank God it's not the party of NO that has the majority these days! We've got somthin' for everyone! Yes, we can!!!! Yes, we did!!!! YESSSSS!!

Retards.

LMAO. Guess who hasn't picked up a newspaper in the last eight months. Ever hear of Citigroup? Morgan Stanley? Goldman Sachs? GM? Chrysler? Bank of America? Are you being deliberately stupid, or what?

If you're a big business or a big farmer or big pharma or big anything who was lucky enough to get in on Obama's big campaign fundraising, you're getting big bucks, baby! So kindly shut the hell up about big business or little business, and what the Republicans are doing. Your boy Obama is deeper in their pockets than anyone in history.

Being $5.00 richer is better than being trillions of dollars poorer like the abominalobama and the democrats want you to be.

Of course Democrats want people to be poorer! We also want it to rain on the weekends, and we root against your favorite team!

anyone that buys Government Motor Cars is a fool.
It will just be another Amtrak and never make a cent.
All part of the Big Eared Arrogant Socialist's plan to destroy America as real Americans knew it.

Pig-in-a-poke is an idiom that refers to a confidence trick originating in the Late Middle Ages, when meat was scarce but apparently rats and cats were not.

The scheme entailed the sale of a "suckling pig" in a "poke" (bag). The wriggling bag would actually contain a cat not particularly prized as a source of meat that was sold to the victim in an unopened bag. The French term acheter (un) chat en poche (to buy a cat in a bag) refers to an actual sale of this nature, as do many European equivalents, while the English expression refers to the appearance of the trick.[1]

A common colloquial expression in the English language, to "buy a pig in a poke," is to make a risky purchase without inspecting the item beforehand. The phrase can also be applied to accepting an idea or plan without a full understanding of its basis. Similar expressions exist in other languages, most of them meaning to buy a cat in a bag, with some exceptions:

---

So Lip--the $5.00 is worth more.

#23 pig in a poke

Did you know that to this day butcher shops in England are required to leave the heads on rabbit they sell to prove that it is not a cat?

Interesting. Is that related to "let the cat out of the bag"?

RiR,

"If you let the cat out of the bag you disclosed the trick - and avoided buying a pig in a poke (bag). "

I remember when Hillary was talking about giving every child 5 bucks when they were born so it could accumulate until retirement or when needed. Just off memory I think she said it would be worth a million bucks.

Boner doesn't have a bad idea.

On the other hand I agree with sniper. If we all get 5 bucks worth of GM stock that would have traded today for 3.75 shares. If that 3.75 shares reaches a value of $50,000 we'll all have to sell just to pay off government debt.

I remember when Hillary was talking about giving every child 5 bucks when they were born so it could accumulate until retirement or when needed. Just off memory I think she said it would be worth a million bucks.

No quite. Assuming retirement at age 65, it would be $119.20. Even if you added $5/yr it would be only $2,617.35. This is assuming 5% per annum. If 10%, those numbers would be $2,451.85 and 29,367.24.

I didn't agree with it myself but THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

I was too lazy before but I'll try to find the link. I remember her talking about it during primaries and after criticism she retracted.

Shit sorry it was 5,000 not 5. Good call Goat.

Guess that's what blogging lazy gets me.

That drops to $3 next year. In the meantime congress gets a massive petty cash increase, huge operating cost increase plus automatic cola's.

"Republicans do not hate America, they just love money more." #5 | Posted by danni

Danni, while the Republicans would rather spend their own money as they see fit, the Democrats want to spend the Republican's money as the Democrats see fit. It has nothing to do with "love of money".

Gobama, and the Party of Yes! Company broke, and you need a bailout? YES! What's that? Goldman needs a few billion to pay out in record bonuses? YES! YES! Funny how libtards are so quick to play the greed card, while they're busy stuffing their pockets with taxpayers' cash. Selfish bastards.

It was all wonderful when it was begun under Herr Bush but now that it's the 'Darky', it's just plain bad?

If nothing, you're consistent........in your hypocrisy.

...but now that it's the 'Darky',

I can't stand people who use racist terms. Grow up, commonsence. This is the 21st century. People with a brain do not use these terms anymore.

Fuck -- what a racist you are.

And please change your online handle from commonsense to something else that actually fits your posting style.

#34...but now that it's the 'Darky'

I think you took that out of context Goatman.

I've read much more racist shit on the Dr than that,I think herr bush was the target

I think you took that out of context Goatman

Darky is a racist term in any context when referring to black people. CS also likes to use the word 'nigger'. For being such a liberal, it surprises me that he is such a racist. Most liberals eschew racism, but not CS. He embraces it.

Selfish bastards.

#11 | Posted by rightisright

Not like freeloaders like you who want trillion dollar wars and trillion dollar tax cuts.

#37 | Posted by goatman

Now that I reread his post I think your right

I just don't see why it is necessary to bring up the president's (or anyone's) skin color when referring to him. And if someone finds it necessary for some primitive reason, I don't understand why they just can't say "black" instead of a pejorative term.

But that's just me. Some people like CS obviously think differently and in American it is not against the law to be racist unfortunately.

A non-sequitur and a deflection all bundled up in one sentence.

Good work!

Tell me, do you take turns in front of Obama's nut sack? Or does it get all crowded there?

he does that when he isnt 'stalking' me and showing the retort world that he has a secret desire to be
JUST LIKE ME

Funny how delusional some of you libs are. You hand pick a trivial topic that supports your misguided beliefs and milk it for all its worth while being completely blind to the big picture. In case you haven't noticed big business and rich people are the ones paying for your liberal agenda. Once you cook that golden goose and bleed it dry you will have no place to fund your socialist agenda.

Its a bit amusing to watch Obama starting to squirm over the fine mess he is getting us all into. I think he is starting to realize he has boxed himself into a corner he can't get out of to the detriment of us all....to the point where he's going to make George Bush look like a saint (that's scary). Mark my words on this: "He will go down in history as the worst president this country has ever had! This country is quickly sinking into mediocrity to the point Zimbabwe will be laughing at us.

Enjoy your illusion while it last..
