You clearly don't understand how the government budgets work.
Every line item on the budget has an associated Patriotism Value. Similar the source of every tax dollar is also assessed for its Patriotism Value. What makes the budget so difficult is that the CBO has to find the best possible match. Obviously the most Patriotic things are funded first.
The take away point here is that the money from the people with the highest Patriot Value - that is, far right fundamentalist Christian billionaires, goes to fund the highest Patriot Value projects, like funding the CIA, building an aircraft carrier, or keeping a pot smoking hippie in jail. The complication is that money contributed by liberals, and other people with low Patriot Value, can't be used exclusively to fund anything - not even Planned Parenthood. Their money is a conduit for evil spirits, and the only solution is to include some high Patriot Value funds as a counter balance. This isn't perfect, since sometimes low Patriot Value funds accidentally find their way into what should be high Patriot Value projects, like the military, and then all of sudden you have things like Abu Ghraib and gays being let in. Borrowed money from China is the lowest possible Patriot Value, so it's only ever used for things like funding PBS, paying liberal Supreme Court justices, and the like (and look what happened when they accidentally paid John Roberts with some!)

"Today was a new low for the political discourse and the Obama campaign, sending armed agents into the Family Research Center, Obama should be ashamed of this action which is unfit for the office of the president"
Man, Romney just won my "Bullshit GOP Talking Points" bingo game.
Yeah, let's cut all these programs that make up 0.000000000000001% of the budget. That'll set us straight.

Dude
the mormon church, for all the good it does and for all the very real truth in that one episode of southpark, is a great example of why you should keep your church out of your government. That chocolate and that peanut butter make one terrible candy.
dbrock is amazing.
On January 20th, he'll be saying, "Obama's doomed his reelection chances!"
Sounds like they maybe updated their song "Don't Shoot (I'm A Man)" from their last album. It had a pretty prominent outro with the lyric "Don't Taze Me, Bro".
Also easier to dance to.
Also less likely to include Scarlett Johansson's half-hearted attempt at singing.
Equally weird to play during sexual intercourse, however.
But will it be better or worse to play during sex than Thatcher speeches?
I'm still thinking from a constant "Obama loses" perspective simply because there is no reason to get my hopes up.
Trick question. No one actually listens to Thatcher speeches during sex; they just lie back and think of England.
I've heard Scar Jo half asses more than just singing.
And by that I mean she's a dead fish in bed.
First off, no you haven't.
Second off, it's not like 50 million people haven't told her that she could get away with it.
Or get away with lying there screaming "SERVICE ME, DRONE."
The lady's not for turning ifyouknowwhatimean
Ah, but Obama is planning to increase funding for all those liberal boondoggles by 10,000% each. So by cutting them, Romney will actually save... waitaminnit...
(multiply by the derp factor...)
(carry the hurr...)
...all the moneys. Deficit solved!

It's smart to be cautious, because of something called TEMPTING FATE.
But dbrock takes any wind that blows as the herald of galactus
Christ man, this thread can be depressing enough to read. We don't need any more American dreams crushed.
Spool you changed your avatar!
The Tea Party and the GOP had a large presence there too.
Was there presence located next to the deep fried twinky booth?
OH SHIT YOU CAUGHT HIM
And that doesn't even include the fact that he wants to increase defense spending by leaps and bounds, expanding the troop numbers and building more warships. Even though warships are kind of archaic thing of the past at this point, and ridiculously vulnerable to cheap, modern explosives, but I digress.
Wait the clown has aids or the dunk tank? I'm confused more than a Mitt Romney medicare statement.
First one, then the other.
Gallup tracking poll shows Ryan pick hasn't provided a bounce for Romney
No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.
Nate did an analysis of this yesterday, came to a conclusion that there might be a one or two point bounce.
Hadn't heard about that, but I have to wonder if the Navy even wants more ships. I mean, clearly Romney just pulled a bunch of random shit out of a hat in front of some military audiences, because he thinks he can just blow smoke up people's asses for votes. I just it find comically sad that he can promise trillions in cuts out of one side of his mouth, and from the other promise billions in military spending without anyone in the media batting an eye.
I am somewhat heartened though that policy wonks are finally starting to point out that you can't really achieve austerity without contracting the US economy in the process. And I suppose for the hyper rich it doesn't matter, but well...it's becoming fascinating how close the current political/social environment of the US is mirroring the social conditions that led up to the french revolution.
And that it was about half of similar bounces.
The tracking polls don't have a lot of credibility though. So we'll see in the next 10 days or so.

Most of the military doesn't want extra budget items. But Paul Ryan knows they are lying because the Obama admin told them to do so.
New entry in the Obama calling a spade a spade parade:
Colorado: Obama 49%, Romney 46%
Florida: Romney 48%, Obama 47%
Ohio: Romney 46%, Obama 44%
Virginia: Romney 48%, Obama 45%.
