They (the MSM) can call Limbaugh wherever they like, but someone should remind them of the damage done to the Philistines by Samson using the jawbone of an ass.
Yep, partisan, just like the Dims, and they better get used to it, cause we’re going to get A LOT worse.
This is what the MSM considers news these days.
THAT'S A FACT, JACK! The MSM has been pissed at poor old Bush for 8 years. Trashing him with the most scurrilous, treasonous, malignant attacks possible and now we are to make "nice, nice" with their affirmative action president elect?
Kiss my grits. Not a chance. I'll wallow in my anger. It's nice and hot.
I dislike Rush immensely but, he’s so very good at parsing his words that I never believe articles like this. It’s always a bitter leftist taking his words out of context.
Is there, or is there not, a proposal by a Democrat elected congressperson,
to seize 401k and IRAs into the SS “trust fund”?”
There are a number of such proposals.
The Sub-committee meetings were being held 3+ weeks before the voters went to the polls.

Yeah, it is amusing...well, sort of...i guess...
That is it, in a nutshell. I know Feinstein is rabid to get it going.
YES- THIS- http://www.tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www?post=66092&ord=757498#757498 9Rep George) Miller said the 401(k) approach is a policy “not well devised” for changes in the market. He[b] said the plans were meant to be savings vehicles, not primary retirement plans. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/10/07/amid-deep-losses-congress-examines-401ks/?mod=googlenews_wsj “Everyone wiped their hands of any obligation for retirement, and the burden shifted from the employer to the employee, and the risk is shifted from the employer to the employee,” said Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor, who last week convened a hearing to examine 401(k)s. “In the beginning, no one ever said, ‘Would this be sufficient? Would it work?’ and what you see is a plan that is highly responsive to external events unlike Social Security, unlike defined-benefit plans, unlike a public pension plan.” ...”Lawmakers, too, have to do some reassessing of the entire retirement system, Miller said. “I think when you have this kind of calamity, you get a chance to go back to the fundamentals and ask basic questions,” he said. “This is an opportunity to really look at what value taxpayers are getting for the $80 billion [in tax breaks]. What value is the saver and retiree getting from this plan? And are they really equipped to handle the risk?” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/11/AR2008101100177.html?sid=ST2008101102372&s_pos=
She has been in contact with Miller and McDermott about her plan, and they are interested in pursuing it, she said.

“This [plan] certainly is intriguing,” said Mike DeCesare, press secretary for McDermott.
“That is part of the discussion,” he said.
While (Rep George) Miller stopped short of calling for Ghilarducci’s plan at the hearing last week, he was clearly against continuing tax breaks as they currently exist.
btt
I certainly hope so, the election was no excuse for us to roll over and play dead.
“someone should remind them of the damage done to the PHilistines by Samson using the jawbone of an ass.”
I say we throw the whole d*** donkey out the window.
Um, because the Democrats, when Gore and Kerry lost, quietly congratulated us and remained supportive of Bush throughout the administration...
That might be hard. But we could pin its tail on and demonstrate over the next couple of years just how much of our current woes are due to Dem politics.
It is amazing to me that they think that now that they have won a battle, everyone will get behind the Great Unifier and sing kumbaya. But the Great Unifier has made it quite clear that right from the get go he intends to lay down the law to impose leftist cultural and ideological dominance - immediately rescinding Presidential orders on not funding abortions, stem cell research and offshore drilling. It is quite evident that he will begin his reign with a scorched earth policy on any cultural or ideological gains that the right has made in the past eight years. He has shown that he won’t go to a neutral middle to allow freedom of belief and lifestyle, he has shown every indication that he will impose a leftist agenda.
What does he expect? It is so obvious that the right will muster forces to protect themselves, their values and beliefs from loss or attack. To many on the right, leftist regulations and impositions of cultural dogma are offensive, oppressive and threaten their closely held beliefs and livelihood. The more the left pushes, the more the right will feel threatened and resist. The more the left disrespects and ridicules middle America, the more alienated the right will be from the Obama administration.
Geez is it that hard to understand?
That’s what ideals are for.
