The Once and Future Speaker…

…speaks.

"Every day we are talking about debt we are not talking about jobs, and that's a victory for the other side."

In the minority, the most important job is to frame the debate in a way that brings you a majority. If the debate is between cutting taxes (for, well just for worse, the GOP deficit reduction plan) and creating jobs, jobs sound like a winner.

Quote of the day.

Robert Reich...

The Republican plan shouldn't be considered one side of a great debate. It shouldn't be considered at all.

He's talking about the budget plan, but the idea is worthy of more general, indeed universal, application.

Truth.

From the Rude Pundit…

When your argument comes down to "Shut up," you have no argument at all.

Yep.
