Three-card monte

“John McCain is playing a disturbing game of three-card monte with his own credibility and our country’s economic security,” said Damien LaVera, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee.

Republicans have been saying for forty years or more that there's an incredible amount of fat in the budget. They say this about the federal budget, the state budgets, and any local budgets they don't want to pay taxes toward.

Yet they have never yet identified even a tenth of the actual cuts that they would make, and somehow that unbroken record of bullshit is seldom ever called for what it is.

This story, source of the quote, is actually pretty good.
