Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VM) is using a true speaking filibuster to prevent vote that stops a tax raise.
My sentiments exactly!
BTTT :)
As much as I would cheer him on—this is all show. They will just buy him off the way they always do. Probably some solar-powered milkers for Ben & Jerry’s. Or maybe some tax credits for windmills in the Green Mountains.
THERE IS A NUMBER AT WHICH BERNIE’S COMMIE BRAIN WILL TURN TO GOO. Maybe Ben & Jerry will name a new flavor after him: Bernie’s Gooey Gooey Brain Freeze
What are the rules when he has to take a leak?
Hopefully the million union moron march will commence this weekend with the throngs shouting their battle cry of the 2012 election “what do we WANT - HIGHER TAXES! when do we WANT it - NOW!!!”
Its as if the avoidance of driving taxes insanely HIGHER is some sort Tax CUT and with that an immoral act of terrorism or something?
None of the plans that Sanders, Pelosi, etc will create a single job...ever!
You want a job? You need to remove the Liberal Democrat Parasites.
This guy has it out for Walmart and rich folks, doesn’t he? What’s up with all this ‘limit how much money the wealthy can earn’?!?
2 questions.
1) If the dems raise the taxes on the EVIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLL rich millionaires and billionaires who caused all those poor children to be on food stamps, what are the odds of those very same people moving out of the US to someplace with less taxes (Cayman Islands?) so their kids aren’t punished by their deaths with 55+% double death taxes?
And of taking any jobs with them they might have created IN the USA with their evil hordes of dollar bills???
2) Have ANY of the LIBERAL EVIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLL rich millionaires and billionaires who caused all those poor children to be on food stamps who serve in Congress actually stood up and said anything along the lines of, “I’m sorry!!!!! It’s all my fault for being selfish and rich! I can’t stand hearing about all those poor kids on food stamps that were the results of my greediness!!!! Here, here’s my checkbook, here’s 55+% of all that I own and have investments in, here, take those kids off food stamps, I want to sleep the sleep of the innocent, I can’t stand it anymore!! Besides, Biden says it’s patriotic to pay taxes, and I’m the most patriotic person in Congress!!!!”
< crickets chirping >
Just wonderin’.
Boy, isn't that the truth. Spent 6 months in Lebanon, NH. The better half was working at Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital. The first three months there we lived in Quechee, VT. Wow! Never seen so many tree huggers. Every vehicle had at least 10 left wing, socialist bumper stickers. We shopped at one of the local coops. Now that was a real trip. We may be going back there soon. Will take lots of pictures of the loons and post.
After all, they don't call him "Bernie the Red" for nothing. He founded the Progressive Caucus and is a charter member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Our soon-to-be-ex-congressperson Shea-Porter (I love the sound of that) is a clearly a left-wing loon too, but she developed a habit of dissembling on issues, pretending to be a "centrist" while continuing to vote with Nancy Pelosi 95% of the time.
Have to give him credit for that at least, Sanders is a Socialist however he is more concerned with at least trying than missing his tee time at the Senatorial Golf Club.
Go Bernie! Run out the clock and stop the lame ducks from accomplishing anything!
I was sitting at some hippie bar in VT called the Purple something or other and was sitting and talking to a Lufthansa pilot.
He was telling me how he’s been to almost every major city in the word, I asked him what the hell he was doing sitting in this tiny bar in the middle of nowhere when he has the whole wold to visit.
He told me that out of the hundreds of places he’s ever been to he loved vacationing in peaceful Vermont, His favorite place in the world.
He was single and alone, I dunno, maybe he was gay or something.
Has anyone set the Over/Under for how long he goes?
I would bet probably 9.pm eastern. That way he’ll make the evening news on the West Coast.
As a drunken Martha Stewart would say in her screechy, high-pitched drunk’s voice, “Goooood for himmmm. Goooood for himmmm.”
As Dirty Harry once remarked...”Go ahead and make my day”!
“Go ahead and make my day”!
“Go ahead, make my day”!
“We are actually forcing tax breaks on people who don’t need them and don’t want them!”—Bernie Sanders
Sanders is scum, but a stalled Congress is a good Congress.
And it got pulled (I figured it would.) The ** and $^#! apparently make f**k and $hit OK. But using actual words is verbotten.
Makes ALL kinds of sense /s
I don't know what FR uses, but lot's use spellers to check for certain words. Using *, etc, allows the words to not be filter before posting.
Sure, dude is a Socialist through and through even down to the death tax, however he is also a Comitted Socialist, such committment is rare in DC.
Recall the sham of Reid having rollaway beds brought up to Capital Hill...that were never used?
