Randi Rhodes: The GOP's 2012 Strategy Is 'To Starve You!'

By Tim Graham | June 13, 2011 | 22:22

On her Friday show, liberal talk radio host and that renowned economist Randi Rhodes – okay, she had no academic credentials and never went to college – but she insists that America urgently needs a second “stimulus,” but won’t get one because the Republican 2012 plan is “to starve you!...So be it, said John Boehner.”

The problem is the American people are getting hip to this - they're starting to figure it out, economists are writing about it, Wall Street Journal's written about it - the fact that we don't have a second stimulus is so ridiculously stupid, that we don't have any investment in our people.

We have no investment in infrastructure happening now. We have no investment in closing tax loopholes now. We have no investment in education now. We have no investment in anything that is meaningful or long-lasting now. Why? Because the Republican plan to win the White House in 2012 is to starve you! That's it! That simple! So be it, said John Boehner.

Earlier in the show, she insisted the GOP plan was for America’s economy to falter badly, so Obama fails, which is their “wet dream.” Somehow, in Randi-land, you spend a trillion dollars in stimulus to "get tax revenues back up." Perhaps a college course or two would help:

They won't do another stimulus and we desperately need one if only to get tax revenues back up because when people are working, they are paying taxes, when they're not, they're not! And they like it like this - this is exactly their wet dream! Remember, they said their goal was to see Obama fail! That means to see you fail because Obama is president for all the people! So if he fails all the people because Congress won't help him help the people, then they will be happy.

Randi Rhodes fits very nicely into the diagnostics put forth at that wonderful American Psychiatric Association meeting only a few years ago.

It's about time for us to hear from Griffin, Bernhard or another of the Z-list BPD club.

Yeah, they're hip to this

Submitted by Chris Norman on Mon, 06/13/2011 - 11:46pm.

Yeah, they're hip to this already Randi. The "stimulus" didn't stimulate anything except big government.
By the way, just because you use the word "investment" in front of all your stupid ideas, the American people are figuring out that they're still stupid.
Which leads to the conclusion you are one big pile of breathtaking stupidity.

that by starving people, they will die. Who gets the "dead" vote? Democrats. What a stupid theory.

President Obama is a Muslim (from his own lips), Kenyan (read it from his publicist) a homosexual (read it on a news magazine cover) and a Socialist (I'm alive and can see it for myself)

Randi has obviously just started a diet.

Submitted by HelloDare on Tue, 06/14/2011 - 2:05am.

The poor woman is hungry. Food is all she can think about, hence the rant about starving. She may even be drinking on an empty stomach. I would not be surprised if she found herself face down on the sidewalk again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGdR3iEGSMQ&feature=related

Randi is the dumbest rock in the box. Please, don't assign anyone to follow her, it will cut her listening audience in half. She's been fired from every job she's ever had, constantly lies and makes the most absurd statements on radio. IGNORE HER, SHE'LL GO AWAY .

Clean-up on aisle 3. Again.

Submitted by locomotivebreath1901 on Tue, 06/14/2011 - 9:15am.

Randi Rhodes?

Wait. I know this one.

Smells like booze & vomit. Babbles incoherently. Masks her hate and intolerance under the guise of 'comedy.'

Ah, yes. She 's the foul mouthed, drunken fool who accused Sarah Palin of sexing it up with teens boys. I think the psychologist types call this 'projection'.

It appears to me the only economy Rhodes can manage is how many nickels she can get off the stage.

Randi is right! haha

Randi is speaking to her audience -> government workers, union heads, liberals, socialist, communists and progessives. I pray to starve all of their bloated-arrogant ignorance, (the modernist/liberal/progressive mindset).
