#2 "We were on the right side of history with that vote."

I suspect a historical assessment at this point might be a bit premature, but certainly within the scope of the administration ~~hand jive~~ talking points.

#6 I thought the term "Conservative Democrat" had the same oxymoron qualities as "Moderate Muslim".

#8 "We were on the right side of history with that vote."

Wall St. sure thanks you. I haven't seen jack-sh*t out of it though. But then again, I don't spend money like a drunken sailor on saturday night.

#9 "We were on the right side of history with that vote."

They have to believe that because otherwise as a responsible intelligent adult with a soul they'd have to face the fact that they've participated in the greatest theft in human history for party and patronage. Has anyone else in history looted the losers any greater to shower 'their' people with bread and games?

#10 I've seen at least two other articles today with phrasing...

The main phrase going around is "pulled back from the brink".

#12 As a former sailor, I must ask people to stop saying that Congress is spending money like a drunken sailor.
As someone here once pointed out, a drunken sailor stops spending money when he runs out of money. Congress just borrows more.
