So the tax cuts are gonna remain...

[nadinbrzezinski]

Listening to the Ed Shultz show...the anger is obvious and deep...

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

1. If so...

I've never felt freer.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. I know

It is strange

[bigtree]

2. that's understandable

. . . if the facts in that discussion are as limited as your own premise.

[Thrill]

3. Of course. When have you ever known

Democrats to stand up to republicans on tax cuts?

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Oh a few years back...the last were oh in the 1970s perhaps 80s

Modern dems...I will continue to vote, but it really don't matter any more.

[Bobbieo]

10. I' m at the point , if I am still alive, to vote for an honest Republican in the next election

IF I can find an honest Republican

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. For me it is the end of empire

It don't matter who is elected... It really does not.

[Bobbieo]

13. My dear Nadin - a vote for a Repub would be my final 'Up yours!"

And, yes it is the end of an empire. Hello, China!!!

[somone]

4. Yes, merry Christmas to the rich

and the poor and unemployed have the cat food commission to look forward to.

7. Well......this should make 2012 more interesting.

Obviously, Obama had to keep the tax cuts for his 2012 reelection chances and this will now put the Repubes in a bind. If he had dropped the tax cuts they could peg him for raising taxes, but now this will effectively pull the "taxes" issue off the table for 2012. This definitely hurts them more than us.

[tularetom]

12. Nah, they'll still find a reason to accuse him of raising taxes

And the liberal media will keep repeating their bullshit accusations until perception becomes reality.

I don't understand WTF this guy is trying to accomplish by actions like this. If he wants to capture the votes of the billionaire demographic he's wasting his time. If he wants to piss off what's left of the middle class (and those for whom he represents their last hope) he's doing a fine job.

I will vote for him no matter what. But I have to say I'm less than thrilled with the job he's done so far.

[Owl]

8. Damn... is this another promise broken?

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Top of the AP is saying them are in negotiates.

We know how things go...

So yes, and I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Voting is as useful as it was for me back in the home country.
