Are Democrats really stupid enough to threaten 401(k) plans?

History shows liberals are stupid enough to do just about anything - repeatedly.

Just the threat could destroy the entire Stock Market.

Isn’t Harkin a big-time commie?

It is hard for me to understand what I think of as good people, the hard working farmers in Iowa re-electing Tom Harkin year after year.

Absolutely. They are not only that stupid, they are corrupt, incompetent and un-American. That is why we are in the current disaster mess.

The Elite are already planning to take your 401k. In fact, I think it will happen in the next 10 years no matter who is in power. Why? Because its a huge chunk of money that the government wants.

I love "The Dark Knight".

There's a scene where the The Joker has stolen $60M from the Gotham crime lords and then barges into one of their meetings.

Crime Lord: You think you can steal from us???
Joker: Yeah.

Heath Ledger delivers the line beautifully. No pause. No thought. Just an absolute statement: "Yeah."

Can’t Senate Republicans filibuster anything that comes down in a lame duck session of Congress? Don’t lame duck sessions of Congress have to obtain cloture?

I’m a bit skeptical about these reports. I think they are an attempt to get the left wing base out for the election.

Senator Tom Harkin is a Marxist stooge. He wants to destroy America.

Absolutely they are dumb, and evil enough.

They passed a bill they didn’t read, that 70% of the electorate didn’t want, and now, refuse to mention that bill in re-election efforts.

Is that behavior of a benevolent, intelligent political party?

“...Yes, the individuals who’ve been defeated in 2010 won’t technically have anything to lose by voting for insanity…and they could leave office giving their constituents a giant F-U. But what happens to them then?

Ben Nelson saw in Nebraska what happens when an elected official bucks the will of the people and does something crazy: after casting the deciding vote for Obamacare in the Senate on Christmas Eve, Nelson has been booed at, spit upon, and harassed everywhere he goes in Nebraska. I expect this to continue for the rest of his life…and it will be remembered when he’s up for re-election in a few years. His career is over, and any hope he had of spending his retirement as a celebrity former Senator being wined and dined all over town is gone. The man is a pariah, as well he should be.

This is what would happen to everyone who uses that lame duck session to screw over the American people.

Bigger picture than just these individuals, I don’t know how the Democrats would ever recover from doing something like this in the lame duck session.

The party’s brand has already taken punches that will take years to heal from, just from alienating all the Jacksonian/Clinton Democrats who are now Independent and siding with Republicans — and will continue to do so for years to come.

But if Democrats really and truly tried to take people’s 401(k) funds away from them and redistribute those to the unions…or tried to ram through Cap & Tax or other madness during that lame duck session…it’s impossible to imagine the blowback the Democrat Party would suffer.

This would, in fact, permanently equate Democrats with Communists in the minds of Americans.”

I don’t think the suicidal discipline the dems have had will hold after this. It’s already starting to fall apart.

My pet theory is that the rank-and-file turn on the leadership and on Obama with a vengeance.
