GOP bailout stooge to Cavuto: “It’s not your money”
Behold the hubris of an entrenched Republican congressman shilling for the auto bailout. His name is Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-Michigan) and you’ll be happy to know that he lost his re-election bid.
Attention, Republicans obsessed with “re-branding” the party and crafting appealing messages to win back voters. Here’s your textbook example of how not to act and what not to say if you want to restore credibility to conservatism:

We are in trouble as a party when our members are too dumb not to back up over the tires spikes!
Hopefully the pretenders are all being purged.
Note to Cavuto:
Please stop booking these types; your giving the liberals free ammunition!
He’s definitely a plain speaker, as is Glenn Beck. Both of these guys should be sitting in on any conservative meetings of the folks in charge.
Actually, Beck terrifies and depresses me. I can only listen to him occasionally. He’s the reason my neighbor and I are practically filling spare rooms with canned goods and bottled water, TP and other survivalist stuff. He keeps saying we have a LONG way to go until we hit bottom — and he predicted the market meltdown.
Sad fact is he’s right about it not being the taxpayers money.
It was the taxpayer’s money, but after it’s stolen by the government, it becomes the government’s money
Incredible. Not our money? Where in the hell does Knollenberg think it comes from?
What a pompous ass. He’s not alone. He shares that attitude with the tax and spend Democrats. I am so glad he’s out of office. That’s at least one small consolation.
Well, since it is not “my” money, I think I’ll just not pay my taxes this year and keep the “it’s not your money.” After all he apparently has some other “source” for “his” money. Like the Fed Mint printing press.
