CNN Reporting: Bush's Tax Cuts Need to be Repealed to Pay for Iraq!

[KoKo]

Susanne Malveau (sp) is reporting that Democrats and some Republicans are calling for a repeal of Bush's tax cuts especially on the Wealthy to pay for the 86 Billion in Tax Cuts.

Wolf mispoke and said "Susanne, is their a "ray of.......of uh possiblility that the tax cuts will be repealed..?" He almost said a "ray of hope!" I almost fell off my chair when I heard that!

Anyway, Wolfs midday show is ON FIRE with CRITICISM of Bush with Liberals and Wolf joining in! Unbelievable....I've been glued to the screen.

But, Tax Cuts are on the Table. Woo HOO The Rich Tax cuts will be the biggest possiblility of being repealed, imho!

They have Bush over a barrel. He needs this money.......and Repugs who are up for re-election might have to cave on this one.......

1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Boy that Mercury retrograde really came back to haunt Bush!!!!

(Not that I really know what I'm talking about, I just enjoy reading the astrology threads!) :-)

[Rollins]

9. I believe the newscasters say what the public wants to hear

Sounds like Wolf is reflecting the American public's frustration with Bush wanting us to pay for a war he obviously lied about.

As far as astrology I know very little too but enjoyed reading recently that Bush's star forecast had turned to crap with the change in Mercury.

Just look at him and his weak presentation. Has he ever been a success in his life? He was born under a bad sign.

15. The "newscasters" report exactly what their corporate masters...

...tell them to report.

Here's the correct way to read this. The major corporations, the owners of the mainstream media and the major contributors to Bush's campaign coffers, have given up on the incompetence of Junior and his goose-stepping playmates in regards to both foreign and domestic policy. They are now trying to unload them by allowing the mainstream media to report as many negative things about the Bushies as possible.

You may be asking why the major corporations would now be willing to unload Bush. I think it's pretty straightforward...they are not getting the return on investment they thought they were going to get. The economy is in a shambles and we're now caught up in war that has no end in sight.

[loudnclear]

22. And people are calling for campaign reforms that will neuter corps

Thanks to the incompetence of a heavily corporate financed administration with a too too conservative and militant agenda. The corporations are now seeing that their consumer base is ready to revolt big time...blaming both Bush and coporate cronies alike for the disaster in Iraq and around the world. The chickens have not yet come home to roost but they are lining up in the barn yard.

[joeunderdog]

26. And Iraq money leaves the country.

If this money isn't spent on their goods, and if the wealthy aren't spending it on their goods, then who the hell is gonna buy this stuff?

Maybe they realize that they have starved their main resource for demand--the lower and middle class.

[Demobrat]

2. So when Dean says it

it's raising taxes on the poor and middle class. I wonder what it's called when a Repuke suggests it? Guess we'll soon see.

[Drifter]

3. How about we ...

repeal the tax cut to pay for bringing our troops home now.

Then use the remaining 86.5 Billion, to fix the problems we have here at home.


Cheers

10. Wolf after King last night

Larry Kings' guest bashed the speach ,then when Larry introduced a special with Wolfie ,Wolfie said 'great show' realley enjoyed it.

What is being held over their heads? I notice more and more of these little comments leaking out so maybe they sense that the media can speak a little?

[dave29]

4. "Over my dead body they will not raise your taxes"

Anyone else remember this reckless and stupid quote? Well, I guess he wasn't thinking of the dead bodies of our servicemen/women. His taxcuts were never good for the country and must be repealed now.

[arcane1]

11. how can we forget?

"There's going to be people who say, 'We can't have the tax cut go through,'" Bush predicted. "That's a tax raise, and I challenge their economics, when they say raising taxes will help the country recover. Not over my dead body will they raise your taxes."

[Sideways]

16. Yet Another Bushism

When someone is really serious about something they say (this marriage, your leaving me, or fill in the (blank)_____ will happen OVER MY DEAD BODY. They do not say "NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY."

I still don't know what fuckass meant with this statement but I guess it was just another of his many verbal abortions and one that was probably fraught with a truth he really didn't mean to expose.

[Zhade]

38. Good catch!

NT

[MrMonk]

39. I think he meant it.

"Will they raise your taxes? Not over my dead body! I don't put my sweet ass on the line for nobody!"

[Bandit]

34. Help the Country recover???????????????

If it weren't for the tax cuts the country would have nothing to recover from.

[StandWatie]

13. "read my lips"

[Jivenwail]

5. Wolf is joining in????

That's a complete shock, especially in light of the fact that he said on Bill Mahr's show this past Friday that whistle ass "did not enjoy a friendly media". Yeah, right

But if this is true, then perhaps the tide may turn. I won't hold my breath, however.

[KoKo]

18. He also had Bernie Ward on debating a Repug and gave Bernie the most air

time including giving him the "Last Word." Usually the Repug gets the last word. Bernie let Bush have it with both barrels. Said "Bush trying to force the World and the American People to pay for his mess in Iraq." Says, "The only terrorists that are in Iraq are there because we Invaded the Country." He made so many great points I can't remember them all....but they we all points we have made here and anyone in their right mind would make if we didn't have a "whore media."

[dennis4868]

19. Wolfie did not say that....

Bushit did not have a friendly media that was the PNAC dude named Crystal.....

[symbolman]

6. LOL

Screw the Bastard..

I feel a wind change in the offing.. I really do.. the media seems to be unable to cover for him as much..

[denverbill]

7. Way to go Democrats!

Keep talking about 'shared sacrifice'. Sure Bush will land on a carrier 30 miles off California, but that's about as far as he will go to support the war. He sure as hell won't give his life, and he sure as hell won't pay one cent more in taxes.

That's pretty tepid support when the best you can offer is moral support.

[samsingh]

8. that's sweet

shrub needs to take the money away from his base to pay for a mistake he made. This is the base that has corrupted democrasy and the media to get this money in the first place.

there is no way to hide the blunders that led to a $80 billion bailout request. it is the start or end of all questions and highlights the stupidity of the entire invasion of Iraq.

[StandWatie]

12. Bush is going to "raise taxes"?

*gasp*

[wakfs]

14. Like father like son

Let's hope the son will be done in my "raising taxes" just like the father.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

17. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Another Bush raising taxes!!! :wtf: is going on here??? What ever happened to, "it's the people's money"??? Bush



Here's an add that we should run:

Cost of repealing the Bush Tax Cut: $1.2 Trillion Dollars.
Cost of rebuilding Iraq: Over $87 Billion Dollars.
Democrats ousting Bush from office next Year, PRICELESS!

[w4rma]

20. No, no let the right-wing run that type of ad.

These tax cuts to the wealthy need to be repealed for the good of the nation and we should *not* be giving the impression that they were ever good for the nation.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

25. Of Course they are BAD, VERY BAD!!!!!!

All I am saying is that the Republicans have no concept of how to handle important matters such as keeping a budget balanced or rebuilding a nation!!! My goal here was to make fun of Bushco!

It's Satire, except for that last line about getting a Dem in the WH next year!!!

:kick:

[Bandit]

35. Uhhh..."Cost of repealing the Bush Tax Cut: $1.2 Trillion Dollars."

I think you have that a little wrong. The cost of Bush*'s tax cuts are $1.2 Trillion dollars the cost of repealing them is going from deficit to surplus. Hardly a cost would you say?

[salin]

21. It was Bush who equated halting a tax cut to a tax hike

which it isn't. A tax hike means paying more than one was paying. Preventing a tax cut means paying the same as one was paying.

Bush would be forced to change his own language about taxes - which he will never do. Indeed he will tank some fellow GOPers who might be forced, do to desperate economic situations brought by Junior, to side with democrats to stop the tax cuts.

Interesting dramas ahead...

[StandWatie]

24. they aren't going to be able to overturn a veto

it's up to him to sign or not sign.

[Enraged_Ape]

23. "Mr. Bush, there's a Mr. Scaife on the phone for you..."

"and he doesn't sound too happy."

[mindfulNJ]

27. Well...

They want to repeal a tax cut I didn't agree with to pay for a war I despise...am I happy or not? :eyes:

[lumpy]

30. This pic is priceless

boo hoo

[diplomats]

28. Starpass also posted this

It's like the WH had no idea this was going to happen. Asking for the money without consulting Congress about how to pay for it was really shortsighted and politically suicidal.

[el_gato]

29. When I saw Ron Paul recently

He spoke about the fact that they are gonna run out of money.
Anyway, he said (paraphrasing) "They are gonna run out of
money for a couple of reasons, one of which I won't talk about."
I think he was trying to tell us that something is up.

[Ganja Ninja]

31. I would call this waffling, rudderless and directionless.

Republican’s don’t know who they are anymore. They say they are for tax cuts than they take them away. They say they are for balanced budgets but they have created the largest budget deficit in history. They say they love democracy but they go to court to stop vote counting. They say they are creating jobs and growth but 3 million people are unemployed under their leadership.

Or maybe…..

They are just self-serving hypocrites and serial liars.

[NoKingGeorge]

32. Will not repeal anything

What makes anyone think aWol will repeal anything ? Congress now has no choice but to 'support the troops', both Dems and r's.
These idiots have no concepts of long term damage to the eonomy. They have not been able to grasp common sense so far.

[indypaul]

33. Government can meet its obligations

in three ways, inflation, repudiation or taxation. This BS
about "growing us into surplus" is just that. It did not
work for Reagan/Bush and it sure as hell isn't working for
Bush/Cheney. Once again it is certainly a sign of insanity
to continue to do the same things and expect a different
result. The inmates are indeed running the institution and
this nation may not be able to survive four years of this
administration and the m.f. (magnificent failure) should
resign now.

[fla nocount]

36. BFEE fucks everybody, even those that put them there. HA

As sick as it sounds, I'm suddenly loving life.

[tsipple]

37. Let's Call It the "Iraq Tax"

I'll even settle for the "Iraq Fee" or the "Special Iraq Charge." Hell, put it on the IRS Form 1040 as a line item. :evilgrin:
