I turn off the news when it comes on. Call your local station and complain about ABC Radio news and tell them you shut it off and do not hear the advertisers that provide their income.

MY STARS!!!!!!

DEMOCRATS CALLING FOR TAX CUTS!!!!

I thought I’d never see the day. And it’s all because THEY ARE PANICKING now, simply because the Republicans have, so far, held their ground.

So I say, let’s SET THE TERMS this time. If they want to vote on a tax cut in the House, then we get something out of it too.

By the way, I’ve been SCREAMING that this would happen for weeks. The Dems painted themselves in a giant hole when they convinced THEIR VOTERS that the Bush Tax Cuts ONLY benefited ‘the rich’. Now that will be BLOWN OPEN if those cuts are allowed to expire. So I say: LET THEM EXPIRE!! and then we can talk about how to solve problems.

Sometimes, doing nothing is a real cool policy.

Sweep in 2014 then Impeach and REMOVE Obama.

By then the dumb ass Obama “low information voters” will have had so many reality 2by4s slapped upside their heads it should be very possible.

Thanks Libloather.

...that would allow the party to cast itself as seeking to cut taxes. "Of course, I've got a backup plan in the event that we don't succeed here," Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said Friday. "I'm sure the White House has one too."

Repeal Obamacare, now, fathead, there's your plan. Jackass.

Here's the White Hut's plan:

At one point, according to notes taken by a participant, Mr. Boehner told the president, "I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?" "You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."

Everyone needs to realize that Zero is consistent about one thing, and that is, lying. He recently lied about bringing all our troops home for the first time in ten years, then started to shift deployments into Africa. We'll have troops in dozens of African countries, and in serious combat in some of those countries, for years to come, Obama's Wars. Sidebars:
