WTF??? Mike Pence just made a bizarre "confession" on the House Floor
Edited on Thu Apr-02-09 12:27 PM by cali
Really bad. He prattled on about how borrowing to pay for this budget reminded him of something he still feels guilty about; the time he (gasp) borrowed his daughter's "kiddy debit card" to pay for his diet coke.

And of such are lame repuke arguments made.

2. Yes, because they're such comparative experiences.
Borrowing $0.50 to buy a Diet Coke vs. deficit spending in the billions. Yep, it's the same thing!

And, Republicans wonder why we think they're out of touch.

8. It was implied that the use of the card was a gift and not a loan.
And the little girl was stupid not to get the repayment terms in writing and signed. I mean, she knows she's dealing with a republican, right?

12. That was intended to be tongue in cheek.
I wouldn't honestly suggest that a little girl was being stupid for trusting in her dad. It's just that republicans have proven themselves time and time again for being completely untrustworthy.
