revenue neutral means the new tax that replaces the old tax brings in the same amount of revenues. It has nothing to do with spending. That would be deficit neutral.
Hence the "wat" in the post. What tax is it replacing?

Ah, revenue neutral, missed that. Then it's as stupid as can be expected. Not much to trade for a regressive tax.
Ha. That's ironic. They can do it, but others can't?
Well, on the plus side his next segment was about the "million muslim march" where he repeatedly asked if any islamic jihadists, anti-Semites, hezbollah, or hamas people were attending. But he's not villianizing muslims. You know, terrorists.

Ted Cruz renounces his citizenship... Canadian citizenship that is.
He actually released the birth certificate hahahahahahha
Ted Cruz releases birth certificate
Edit:
Too bad he and Crazy Eyes Bachmann didn't renounce their US citizenship instead of their foreign citizenship.
There is only one thing Obama can do now... Renounce his Kenyan citizenship. :Kappa:

Yeah, I know where it is geographically, I was wondering more politically...

Only someone like Ted Cruz would feel this is necessary.
Ahh, well they've been a pretty strong voting block for the Dems. I can't remember the last time they went with the GOP. It's not all that surprising considering their proximity to the city though. The Dems have a majority in their board of legislators, the county clerk and DA are both Dems as well. The County Executive is a Republican though, he helped set up ESPN's radio station in NYC and worked for Sirius on a religious station before politics.
Apparently. By this logic even if Obama had been born in Kenya he would have been eligible.

Whats really crazy is that a disproportionate amount of presidential candidates over the past few years have been un-american.
Romney Sr - Mexico
Mccain - Panama
Obama - Kenya

No, that's actually the case.
Even in some alternate universe where Obama was born in Kenya, due to his mother's citzenship, he STILL would be considered a natural born citizen, therefore, he can run for President.
The whole birther thing is retarded and falls apart EVEN IF IT WAS TRUE.
Birtherism is like an onion of stupidity, even when you think you've found the last layer there's one more underneath it. It really is the gift that keeps on giving.
Talk about obtuse. Someone should link him to that article about what goes on with the conversion therapy, if not for him then for his followers.
False equivalency for daaaaaaaaaaays.

The analogy kind of works if you make the assumption that the therapy can possibly work, and you're talking about adults who choose to undergo therapy on their own. In that case it's preventing a person from changing a sexual related trait that person was born with but isn't happy with.

That shit is bananas.
The constitution only says he needs to be a natural born citizen, the most common interpretation is that he had to be an American citizen when he was born (as opposed to being naturalized at a later date) but I don't think it has never been tested in court.
Maybe gays need thousands of years of conversion therapy then?

Believe me, Ted Cruz's citizenship issues will be enough to end his presidential aspirations. It's just not the right time to bring it up as an issue. They'll just wait until people are paying attention which isn't for another 3 years.
The 24 hour news networks will then find some block of a couple of days to talk about nothing but his citizenship as just one of the long list of controversies that make for major ratings during election season. That's when the attention whore birthers will come out of hiding and onto TV, leading the rest of the birthers to voting for some other republican candidate.
It'd be a huge waste for them to blow their load on this controversy right now.

So I decided to check out Michael Ramirez's cartoons today, cuz every now and then I want a laugh, and I realized sometimes the facebook comments of his cartoons are far and away better.
Oh, it's his health that's the issue. lol
0vimit. They're not even trying anymore, are they?
Our justice system favors blacks!

Dick Cheney? Really? It's not his health that's the issue. He's more machine now than man. His mind is twisted and evil.
I love how people talking about Darth Vader transfers over so well to talking about Cheney. You couldn't make this shit up.

Just think about how insultingly racist that mentality is.
It assumes that blacks are so desperate and stupid for representation that they believe that they see a black candidate on a ticket they jump at the chance to put them in officer/power.
It's par for the course though isn't it? They aren't willing to make the actual changes to their platform/beliefs but they still expect people to be stupid enough to vote for them.

Nevermind that Condi is pro-choice!
I love confronting conservatives on this issue. If Obama won 95% of the black vote because he's black...why did Gore win 90% of the black vote?

GOP was fucking over blacks since before even WWII began! Almost 80 odd years ago! haha
This is why it's so amazing they still seem to think it's a problem with optics and messaging. Still! For a brief period I thought the last election would send the message, but the "it's a messaging problem" side is winning out. Only they're stuck with the Tea Partiers who don't even care to clean up the messaging.

I love how the person put gay in quotation marks. Like wtf, loooooool.
I think it's because they're racist, and don't think that non-whites are capable of higher cognitive functions. That they vote based on some kind of animal instinct, and if the GOP just have to package their message with the right sounds and colors because lesser races are incapable of understanding the meaning. They are wiggling bananas for men in ape suits.
That's the part that I found most amusing, lol.

It's worth noting that black people were strong republican voters until 1932, but the seeds were sown in 1927 after the Great Mississippi Flood. Herbert Hoover was in charge of the relief effort and made a lot of promises to black communities that lost property in the flood. He didn't keep those promises, and by 1932 the demographic shift began to catch steam. The New Deal further solidified black people with the democrat party; my grandad fought in WWII and said when their camp heard news of FDR's death everyone - the black soldiers and the white commanders - cried.
Obviously much of the democrat party was fiercely racist at the time, compared to the more progressive republican party of the time, but black people stuck with the party of FDR and Truman (who desegregated the military). And the CRA sealed the deal.
The republican account of things seems to be: Lincoln frees the slaves, republicans pass the CRA despite democrat opposition, Reagan creates prosperous economy for blacks, big government ruins the black family.

In today's "no shit sherlock" news, the CIA finally admits it orchestrated the 1953 Iran coupe.
But remember, they hate us for our freedom!
