No Republicans are going to support this as a massive tax increase.
We should have stronger conservatives in the Senate this time.
Romney has said he wants it repealed.
And?
I’ve heard all kinds of tough talk coming from Republicans who buckle the minute the heat is on.
I am 40 years old. I never once, EVER thought I’d see any of the stuff our government is doing today.
The US Congress now openly talks about targeting individuals: from Rush Limbaugh to that guy who helped set up Facebook.
I never once, ever thought I would see terrorists who kill Americans (and want to kill more of us) and their sympathizers building monuments to themselves on US soil (like the Ground Zero Mosque.)
I never once, ever thought that I would see people who admit that they are in the country illegally marching through our streets demanding more from our government - and then watching our government fight tooth and nail to give them their demands.
I never once, ever thought that everything I own and everything I work for could be taken from me by my government just because they want it - that’s what the Supreme Court just did.
I never once, ever thought that the people who did the least in our society would end up getting the most. Then to have them turn around and scream that it’s not enough? And our government is fighting tooth and nail to give these people their demands? When I was growing up I was told the story of the little red hen who didn’t have to share her corn because no one helped her grow it. I was told ‘he who pays the piper gets to pick the tune.’
I never once, ever thought that I would be living in fear of what my government is doing. Ever morning I wake up and it’s a little more aggravating and invasive.
I have watched McConnell and Boehner talk tough and then give up when the fight got hard. Maybe Romney will fight - but I doubt it.
