You’ve answered your own question rather well. Reminds me of the joke about how copper wire was invented — well, let’s not go there.

As a former passionate GOPer (and member of the National Committee in junkmail terms) the main question in my mind is how can there be ANY fiscal hope as long as EITHER major party is in business? They are in fact ONE and have been for a long time, don’t anybody kid themselves.

You Democrats are pikers. I HATE the Republican Party. Lots of you do too, but are to polite to say so in public. It’s not nice to hate, say the kindergarten teachers.

About the above joke about copper wire, that’s an invitation for somebody to jump in and palpitate “Ya see there, Waller? You ARE a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews. It’s insensitive to even mention that joke. The hell with you, evil anti-Semite©!”

I predict this thread will be taken down soon.

I have seen the story of Joel Lourie, South Carolina’s only Jewish senator and a democrat, being offended that someone would say Jews were penny pinchers. Well I can see how a “Tax and Spend” democrat would be offended by being included in a group of “penny pinchers”. I too was offended by the Orangeburg Republicans’ comments. They grave credit to the wrong group. With names like Faircloth and Bagley in my family tree, I have thrift in my blood. I believe it was an old Scottish saying that if you take care of the pennies, the dollars will take care of themselves. I have two questions for democrats presently in government. Can a penny pincher be a democrat and can a democrat really be a penny pincher? From what I have seen lately the term “Penny Pinching Democrat” is an oxymoron.

Good, Ned in Vermont — excellent, “turbo”! People need to hear a common-sense point of view on this NONtroversy from Jews. But will the self-appointed thought police even notice? I seriously doubt it! So far, comment #74 spits tacks and #75 doesn’t seem to say much.

I will point out one thing, though, which in a way changes everything. Ned says “I can’t believe how ridiculously sensitive all of society has become to comments referring to any group of people.” Uh, ahem…. “all of society” is no such thing! It’s the kind of political prudes seen on this page and the liberal media and pasty-faced preachers et al that go ballistic at perceived slurs, but only those regarding “accredited victim groups” as Wilmot Robertson trenchantly dubbed them. Blacks, hispanics, Jews, Asians are protected species with the establishment while it’s always open season on Christians and whites. Indeed, hatred of these and discrimination against them is now the way it is in ameriKa.

Well, liberals — there you have it. The two Jews that have weighed in agree with ME, NOT YOU, about DeMint’s comments, not you, and even up his ante with “unthinkable” words like “jewboy” USED IN FUN. There’s life beyond the PC matrix…. come on in, the water’s fine!

Sure, other Jews don’t like it, but maybe they need to lighten up? (I predict some will post more gripes below.)

As a person of the Jewish faith, I can’t believe how ridiculously sensitive all of society has become to comments referring to any group of people.

I did not read the comments as anti Semitic at all. I thought: yes, we are an old people with an amazing wisdom which has served us well on many fronts including the financial.

This was a comment of admiration. If all governments would watch their pennies then we would have dollars. Well, we watch the dollars fly out the window and all we’re left with are pennies.
That is the tragedy of our time and we can’t even begin to imagine the results that will follow.

I am jewish (Cohen) and I do not find anything said by either chairmen to be offensive at all. My father has used the same quote for years. Looking after the small stuff is important.. the small stuff adds up to the big stuff. You democrats, you know who you are, want people to pay close attention to the big numbers so your back room dealing can manipulate the small numbers.

I am in the minority but This jewboy republican continues to support Jim DeMint! He is one of the few good guys in office. Most politicians are on my shit list because they earmark every bill to death and spend all the pennies. And yes the small change adds up.

Shalom!
