2. Of course (according to MSNBC) those 38 are facing a tough reelection. nt

[spanone]

3. i see why, they are not acting like democrats.....

10. It's always the money. Sigh. If we just did a better job of talking over the R's and

explaining that this has no affect on We The People (98% of us, anyway!) -- but they've got the voters convinced THEY'RE the ones whose taxes will be increased.

Actually, it's up to those lilly-livered congresspeople to EDUCATE their constituency.

4. Trying to protect the dreams of their lotto buying constituents I am sure

I know once I hit it big I don't want that bastard government coming and taking away my hard won earnings!!!!!!!

5. That wouldn't pay for MEDICARE FOR ALL by any chance? We also need $3 TRILLION in

infrastructure repairs!!! URGENTLY NEEDED!!

6. But that would be spending

and increase the deficit. You gotta learn to think like a Blue Dog. Woof=tax cuts for the rich.
I would like to think that the DCCC and the DNC would withhold funds for their campaigns but that would be too much to expect.

[spanone]

8. no spending necessary.

[ejpoeta]

7. now for people concerned about the deficit, i don't see how they can justify this.

9. Benefit to the lower 99% in the country.... Not a damn bit. nt
