...on CSPAN: Sanders and DeMint, shoulder to shoulder, fighting for the workers, fighting against the expropriators!

7. I am in AR and would get nowhere with Blanche Lincoln, Mike Ross |
|
and Mark Pryor. At least Mark changed his mind and supported DADT. Blanche Lincoln(dixiecrat), Mike Ross(dixiecrat) and John Boozman (R) support tax cuts for the rich,and they strongly support to repeal Estate tax. So it's very unlikely they will help Bernie. I hope more of you will get in touch with your better congress critters for help.

5. Amazing! Sanders and DeMint may both fillibuster. . .but for totally diametrically opposite reasons |
|
Sanders for the right reason, DeMint (as usual) for the WRONG reason!
Still. . .it is the first time I'm happy to agree (at least in part. . .about the fillibuster) with this scum (DeMint, I mean!)

6. A left right tactical alliance would be helpful. |

I am hopeful that this deal will go down in complete defeat.

8. IMO, Obama threw out a flash bomb...... |
|
to expose the hypocrisy of the right, to get both sides to go WTF. The teabaggers don't want more debt and he used this to show how fucked up they really are.

9. IMO; Obama did this to show what the Republicans are really like. |
|
plus making it clear what the voters did by electing the tea baggers. plus making it clear what the tea baggers are really like when they attack the Republicans for jumping the gun on making a deal before the tea baggers were seated. I believe Obama's job performance will go up and so will the congressional Dems if they keep cool. I believe the voters meant it when they said they wanted cooperation.

12. Obama did this because it's what he, the DLC, The Third Way and the No Labels wants done. It really |
|
is that simple. People need to realize that Obama is no friend of the working class.

10. Allow the Bush tax cuts to EXPIRE! 12-31-2010 |
|
Edited on Thu Dec-09-10 03:05 AM by GreenTea
Only a truly greedy ignorant selfish fool would support the idiot Bush's TEN year, DEFICIT raising, NO jobs produced, NOT paid for, UNFAIR tax cuts for the very richest 2%.
The same 10 year tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% that have actually caused a reported hundreds of thousands of lost jobs - Proven the rich who are doing better than ever in the history of the world - obviously are just socking their money away in off-shore accounts, certainly not spending or investing in our economy - if the rich do invest, it's in other countries using slave labor wages, out-sourced American jobs and corporations down-sizing jobs for even larger profits.
The 2% of the richest certainly don't need the huge deficit busting Bush tax cuts to be extended - they care nothing for this country or the people - like all republicans they just despise paying any taxes in our society that they've used and fed off of with tax cuts, government subsidies, bankruptcies and bail-outs that has made them rich & greedier than ever before and more is NEVER enough.
Remember the Republicans just voted AGAINST the Democratic bill to give tax cuts to 98% of the American people, a tax cut for anyone making $250,000.00 or less, but the republicans demanded a huge tax cut for the richest 2% who are already doing extremely & substantially better than ever before. Still, the republicans voted down the tax cuts for 98% of the American people instead.
ALLOW the Bush tax cuts to EXPIRE right on time just as they should on December 31st 2010
