See that? It’s my ‘Surprised face’ The conservative wing finially stands up to Bonehead and the GOP and says “No, we are not going to vote for new taxes on the rich because we are AGAINST taxes period” and lo and behold, the fan club comes flying out of the woodwork eith every excuse under the sun as to why we HAVE to tax somebody in some Spock-ian delusion of the needs of the many outwaying the needs of the few.
Reality check folks. When you keep voting for lesser evils you end up with evil. Apparently you all learned exactly nothing from the GOP’s excursion into Romneyland.
Either stand for something or stand for nothing.
Once again it’s excuse after excuse. On another thread there’s a guy bitching that old people are the problem and on this one, one of the biggest PDSers is lockstep with the Bohner plan.
And people actually why ‘conservatism’ can’t get squat done. Well, if anyone would take off their denial-tinted glasses for 2 seconds and see that it’s because we are overrun with GOP hacks and flat out DU candidates that we seem to forger that WE HAVE A SPENDING PROBLEM, NOT A TAX PROBLEM..
Do you hear one of these idiots complaining about Bohner’s utter lack of exercizing the constitutional power of the purse to shut the whole damn thing down? Nope, not a freaking peep. Do you hear one of these FR ‘fiscal hawks’ bitching about the billions of dollars sent to muslim countries to help fund terror?
Nope.
But they want granny to pay up hard ‘for the children’ and march lockstep with the GOP right into Democrat HQ circa 1976.
Folks, we need a purge. All these people screaming about the ‘purists’ of the party as being a problem? Hello? The opposite of purity is corruption. Look it up.
We have to get over this insanity that we can keep kicking cans and feel no pain. The hard truth is that we are in this mess because we lack the guts to stand up and stick to the principles that make us (supposedly) conservative. And being advocates of class warefare by taxing rich people to death AIN’T IT.
So if anyone wants to keep kicking that can and thinks that we can just have the unicorn poop a sufficient quantity of Skittles to solve the problems we face, ...
Please do us both a favor. Put on your Brony hat, take your Happy Fun Ball, go rally around the GOP campfire and leave us batcrap crazy purist conservatives to our own devices.
And when you FINALLY get reamed enough by your heroes to discover it hurts, just bend over farther because you are getting exactly what you continually ask for. Just shut up and enjoy it.
Folks, this cannot go on.
The problem was that opposition to this was based on a big lie, and that HUGE lie was that this B proposal raised anyone's taxes, all it did was protect 99.8% ( all of us) from the comming January 1 tax increases.
I am pretty sure that everyone who claimed this B bill was a tax increase already knew that all the taxes go up January 1, so they knew what they were posting was not true.
Now if they had a principled argument they would have been honest with their stated position:
“If anyone gets a tax increase then you all must get one. If the 0.2% get an automatic tax increase than we will defeat this bill so taxes go up on the rest 99.8%. that will teach you a lesson”
But admitting that defeating this bill raised our taxes on Jan 1 would have been the kiss of death for the opposition.
So I expect disaster will result from this.
If that was true then defeating this B bill will stop our taxes from going up Jan 1, but I think you know it is not.
Defeating this bill just raised our taxes Jan 1.
