If you do not want cuts then you have to defeat the Republican cuts agenda by getting them out of power. They are winning the battle of cuts because the only protest group getting attention is the one demanding cuts - the Teabaggers.

[Skittles]

1. cost of extending Bush tax cuts to the richest 2%: 69 billion

what could we have had with that?

[TheBigotBasher]

3. Advantage of being united against the Rethug cuts agenda

instead of getting in to bed with Grover Norquist?

Why is it that the American left allowed the Tea Party to be the only noteworthy protest group?

[high density]

5. What's more amazing

..are the people on this board which use the logic of, "Oh, the teaparty is mad, that must mean something good for me by default! Huzzah!"

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

2. ...and the list of what we wanted and didn't get?

Or did we even have a list?

[TheBigotBasher]

4. Sex with Grover Norquist?

I'm not sure - where was the fight against the Rethug cuts agenda? Why does America have the only protest group in the World that demands more cuts with nothing to counteract that message?

7. The went after Amtrak with Biden sitting in the room? No wonder why he lost his temper!

:rofl:

Heck, they just named an Amtrak station in DE after him.

[craigmatic]

8. So did they cut NPR or not? I know the Public Broadcasting thing can go both ways.

[Historic NY]

9. There is a lot of important things here that could have gone away

..if people are so against cuts then get out there..the next round could be worse.

11. Did you notice how many of those riders gut or eliminate environmental programs?

I hate those fuckers with the core of my being.

They might call themselves Christians, but they are NOT. "What Would Jesus Do" is a sick joke when you look at that list.

[Bluenorthwest]

12. Coming in with a laundry list is a negotiation technique

You ask for the moon and the stars and also 6 blocks of Manhattan, so that when you wind up with just two blocks of real estate, no moon, no stars, the idiots who just gave you two blocks of real estate can proclaim that they did not give you the stars to go with it, thus, they won. The key is that you don't really give a shit about the moon, the stars or the other 4 blocks. This way, you get exactly what you want, and the daft rival thinks they 'compromised' with you.
That is a long list. And it worked.

[Exilednight]

13. Why is anyone measuring success by what was saved? What exactly did we gain? n/t
