I agree.

The policies promoted by the Democrats will either usher us into a golden Utopian age, or they will cause huge amounts of damage.

If we are headed for a golden Utopian age, why would I stand in the way?
If damage is going to be done, then the damage must be seen to be done, and it must be laid firmly at the feel of Democrats.

Let them do what they want. If the policies are reprehensible, just vote “present”. Do not try to stop them.

[GraceG]

This is exactly why we should give them exactly what they want and when they tell us to sic the “rich evil people” we should point the finger at the rich liberal asshats that helped elect the socialist POS.

They wanna “bring it all down, man” we should oblige and show them the difference between lazy leeches taking down a system and motiated pissed off makers with the same goals, but with the goal of permanetly removing the rich liberal elite from their riches and their power forever.

This can only work while the 2nd and 1st amendments are in place, if they get erased we are seriously screwed.

[GraceG]

Vote present on everything!

[MattinNJ]

I agree 1000%. Let them own it. Then tear down whatever they did in 4 years

[ScottinVA]

I agree, but I want to go further. America hates Bush anyway, so let ALL that er`s tax cuts expire.

The economy will tank further, but Americans will feel better ... “fairness” will be achieved. And maybe with the extra money in the treasury, they can upgrade their 0bamaphones.

[ScottinVA]

er`s = era`s

When a malignant cancer has spread too far for surgery to get rid of it, chemotherapy is often the favored procedure. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not; in many cases it just prolongs the suffering.

I guess it's time to try chemo and find out whether it rids the body politic of the disease, arrests its spread or combines with the cancer to kill the patient.

We understand that raising taxes on the rich won’t solve the budget problem. But the Democrats throw that idea out and we oppose them and then they go to the media and their voters and say, “See! We told you! The Republicans are just for the rich!” And then more Democrats are elected and they implement their stupid social programs instead of taxing their donors.
So use Judo on them. Don’t stand up straight and take that shot to the mouth. Grab that fist and go with it. Pull them towards you. Then, use their attack’s energy and flip them on their back.
“Yes, we agree that taxes should go up. We would like to see people like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates and Barbara Streisand and Robert Redford and Michael Jordan pay more taxes. How much is Harry Reid paying, by the way?”

[DB]

I don’t agree.

Lets return to the Clinton tax rates that everyone claims to be so fond of across the board. Or in other words, let the Bush tax cuts expire entirely without exception. The left says the cause of all our economic problems are due to the Bush tax cuts and “Bush deregulation” so lets return to the Clinton days and the let the good times return... Some lessons have to be learned the hard way. Lets get on with the learning...

[Revolting cat!]

The uninformed don’t and won’t learn anything unless it hits them in the pocket. Oh wait, the $4 gasoline didn’t teach them anything. The stigma or rassissm trumps everything anyway. Vote Obama even if gas = $8/gallon. The author assumes that the voters will open their eyes and see. They haven’t and they won’t.

[Mike Darancette]

Indeed, 2014 will be that much easier.

[RIghtwardHo]

Interesting. Why the Hell not?

[GraceG]

The option now is either amputation, or just letting it die asap.....

[GraceG]

Tax rich liberals at 100%, even if it means we have to tax rich conseratives at 100%, because after they are drained the rich libs will have a lot harder time to recover....

[DanMiller]

Unfortunately, it seems rather late for amputation. The cancer has spread to the brain as well as to the stomach.

[GraceG]

Ol’ Yeller time......

[Tzimisce]

If you wonder why we have Obamacare here it is.

The Left is going to get what it wants regardless - but we should still fight....

[RobbyS]

People forget that Clinton’s policy was successful only because he was riding the dot-com bubble. What’s the bubble now? Only massive federal spending. Some will say, well, war spending ended the depression. Yes, it put 16 people in uniform and millions to work in war industry, and when that war ended, the men in uniform came back to work in factories built with government money to supply the pent up domestic demand. BUT there was also an almost insatiable demand for Americans goods from those overseas.in countries destroyed by war. Foreign aid got them money to buy those goods. Like Sweden and Switzerland, we profited immensely from that war. But that was then and now is now. Who is profiting from our lavish spending?
