'Useful idiots'

"GOP legislators can best be described as 'useful idiots' who make Democratic proposals seem moderate and responsible. . . .
"The Democrats suggest more than $900 billion in pork. So Republican 'centrists' cut a few billion here and there, and everyone can now embrace $800 billion in pork."

-- Doug Bandow

  1. Would you be kind enough to remind me who was the first to use the expression „useful idiot”?

    I was just watching a Paul video and he said the same thing.

    "...this is not unusual in Washington. Propose a higher number and then pretend you're acting fiscally conservative by cutting back a little bit."

    I hope Specter, Snowe, and Collins enjoy their legacies, which will be defined by their YAY! votes for European-style Socialism and an Inflationary Depression! (And I told them as much.)

    Well, TTFN! Off to buy more gold, guns, ammo and storable food!
