They are backpedaling on Medicare so fast that now they have to whine/cry about gas prices.
and they will lose that one as well.
We The People have awoken from this nightmare. Thanks to all Wisconsinites for sparking the flame of taken back this country for WE THE PEOPLE not the corporations.
PUNISH THE GREEDY!!!!!!!!!!! NOT THE NEEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
funny how the obama voters and supporters above like to forget that Oil and Gas has DOUBLED since obama has been in office when obama got into office gas was at 1.84 and oil was at 58.00 Today gas is over 4.00 and oil is 112.00 and Gold and Silver are at RECORD highs!!!!
Looks like obama saw bushes 2 wars and raised bush 2 more wars mr nobel peace prize winner after only 10 days in office is now juggling 4 different wars
The Progressive Budget is a winner Ed, PLEASE embrace & push it.
Yeah ED! Jason can't tell you what makes the Progressive Budget a 'winner", but you should embrace and push it because it has the word "Progressive" in it! LOL!! Tell us why it's a winner.
If folks like mikey here don't like it I am in favor :-D
I made no statement on this budget... still waiting to hear why you think its a winner.... LOL!
Creating a higher tax bracket is a great start. taxing the capital gains is a great start. public option is the best part. cutting the military industrial complex is a great start. BUT mike i know what you have spewed on here & i am sure these great ideas are simply not what you overlords want, thus you will not like them
"... taxing the capital gains is a great start..." A great start?? if you didn't live with your parents, and actually worked for a living, you would know capital gains are already taxed, Einstein. LOL! "...public option is the best part..." what section of the budget mentioned the public option, and how does that feature make the budget a 'winner'? What cuts are proposed in this budget besides the military that make it a winner? Do you support Obama military operations in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan? You've become one of my many dancing fools! Next time, read it first. LOL!
oooopsy i fed a troll. actually troll is a bit too friendly for these rightwing nutjobs.
Capital gains tax is a perfect way to go, plain & simple. That stuff is not found in any middle class person's portfolio. Like I said if mikey is against it I am for it.
.... more simple ramblings from the far left simpletons... again, predictable. LOL! You do your Obama trolling proud!
awwwwwwe hurt your feeling there mikey? IF you ever make sense i will respond, but clearly you are simply brainwashed & there is no debating fools who are brainwashed
You obviously don't know the definition of a "Portfolio". Let me help you junior... if you are investing, and yes, people in the middle class do invest... and you have a profitable sale, then you will pay tax on your capital gains. "Fish in a Barrel"! You're too easy to make fun of, like the 'special' kid that rides home on the short bus. Don't be too hard on yourself Jus-dim. You'll grow up and leave your parents home some day. LOL!
clearly mikey you are a few investment short of a full portfolio, capital gains tax is now like 15, it should be like any other income, the only reason it isnt is b/c the rich run the country & why can they b/c brainwashed folks like mikey here
Bills In The
House That The Republicans Voted 100% NO, Including Medicare & Social Security No Matter How Much They Run To The Cameras and Lie they they did not "Factually" Vote To End Medicare
We have a much more Serious Problem with the Dems and Standing Up for the American People on this Issue and others. Americans are not getting the facts on the Votes that are taking place in the House. The Republicans are turning our country upside down and lying about what they are doing every singel day in the House.
Republican Voted 100%, "No" On A Bill To Ensure There Are No
Cuts To Medicare Care & Social Security
As someone said,
“I guess to vote one's conscience requires having one in the first place.”
A Democratic motion on a recent bill to Cut Off Federal Dollars for National Public Radio would have continued money for “Amber Alerts on NPR regarding Abducted Children. All Republicans Voted No!
Democrats Called For Federal Air Marshals on High-Risk Flights as part of Aviation Legislation. Republicans Voted No!
On a Highway Spending Bill, Democrats were “Shut Out” when they tried to Cut Off Federal Aid for "Bridge to Nowhere" projects in Alaska. Republicans Voted "Yes Fund It!
On a motion to the last short-term spending bill stating that “there would
be No Cuts to Social Security or Medicare. Republicans Voted No! Bottom line Republicans voted to Cut it!
After the vote, Republican Hal Rogers Of Kentucky, Chairman Of The House Of Appropriations said the following about Medicare & Social Securityy"
"That is simply a fog screen," said in opposing Preserving Medicare & Social Security & Preventing Cuts From Both Programs
Last spring Republicans succeeded in changing a bill to “Subsidize people who buy energy-efficient products for their homes.”
Republican/GOP lawmakers made the changes part of a recommit motion barring contractors from hiring child molesters
Republicans “Watered Down a Science and Technology Bill” by attaching their version to a proposal to fire government works who view pornography on the job.
Many “Week Knee Democrats,” envisioning election-year attack ads claiming they supported pornography, had to go along.
In December, Republicans used a similar tactic to force Democrats to withdraw temporarily a bill expanding child nutrition programs.
By voting against the Republican alternative, a lawmaker could be portrayed as supporting federal food money for institutions that hire convicted sex offenders
The motion didn't get a single Republican vote.
Republicans in the recent past have managed to entice conservative and vulnerable Democrats with motions on sensitive subjects such as guns, abortion and immigration.
Norm Ornstein, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, said Republicans have developed the procedure as "a potent weapon of
embarrassment."
Republicans focused, he said, not so much on offering alternatives as entrapping Democrats with "gotcha" proposals.
Ed, when we had the budget battle a few weeks ago, Claire McCaskel came running to the cameras after being exposed that she was working with the Republicans to extract huge concessions/cuts, Clarie said, "I was duped"
Yet her we are again with Claire McCaskel working with the Republicans to demand cuts to Entitlements ie; Social Security and Medicare and Democrat Evan Bayh and the usual Ken Conrad.
Will the Dems ever get their act together and represent the people who put them in office?
The Blue Dog Dems are giving the regular Dems a fit workign with the Republicans, however, this time the Voters will not ge forgiving and we voted them out the last time this time we wil ldo the same.
Interesting. What was the source of this information. I would like to read more.
Sources? Most of these characters make up their misinformation and facts as they go...
National Republic Radio (NPR) leadership stated on video they no longer need federal funds and on numerous occassions provided bias reporting for the left. So what do they do? HIDE behind the CHILDREN to justify more federal dollars, as if only they support "Amber Alerts". Just as cowardly as the WI and OH State Senate Democrats that fled the state when they couldn't get their way. "Republicans in the recent past have managed to entice conservative and vulnerable Democrats with motions on sensitive subjects such as guns, abortion and immigration." LOL! Vote against the 2nd Amendment! Vote for federal funding of abortion! Vote for "Amnesty" on immigration! Let your votes count! So we can remind you of your record in 2012! What's so sensitive about those subject?
Have you no convictions or backbone? or are all of you as slimey and weak as you sound on these forums? Demonstrate some integrity (look it up) and vote your conscience. Do you support federal money for institutions that hire convicted sex offenders? If yes, say so with pride! Which child nutruition programs were not supported by the Republicans? Can you provide specifics or only BS rhetoric? Sounds like you 'cream puffs' believe federal dollars should fund government workers who view pornography on the job. Nice job Progressives! Perhaps some of you are child molesters (relatives or friends? LOL!) and didn't like the fact that Republicans made a motion to bar contractors from hiring your type. The far left sure attracts societies degenerates! LOL!
I always get a good chuckle of listening to rightwing nutjobs complain about amnesty while praising reagan
Reagan was wrong on amnesty and it proved to not work then as it would not work today thanks to a Democrat controlled government that failed to secure the border and punish employers that hired illegals. One mistake does not break a record of significant accomplishments. Even Obama - the broken record of failure - can "Forrest Gump" into doing something positive some day.. but, it's been 2 years, and he only has 2 more to go. LOL!
Why are these Wingnut Zombies even on these discussions? I hope their Masters are paying them well to waste time. When this is all over and it will be someday, we will all look back on this. Some of us will know that we made a difference and others will wonder why they wasted their time and energy. Their is no them and us, there is only "WE".
Ricky, glad to see you realized that you're on the wrong side of history, and want to join the side that is making a difference while others waste their time and energy. Welcome to the Tea Party where we stand for our American Republic, Constitution, Individual Liberties and a limited federal government. Good job!
tea party WAS Ron Paul, today Ron Paul hates the tea party funded koch brothers. Rick is correct we will look back & say wow those teabaggers really cost us a generation of time cleaning up our country's mess.--------Tea Party where we stand for our American Republic, Constitution, Individual Liberties and a limited federal government , EXCEPT when they trash the American Republic with they hatred towards the American Government.------ Constitution, they stand for is one where they can change it when they feel the need. ----------Individual liberty, except when "others" get that same liberty then they no like it. ----------- Limited government, EXCEPT when they have control & the government passes crap like the patriot act, start wars & plant the USA flag in foriegn countries or of course how they want to make the government in charge of every single pregnancy
Jus-dim Williams is our Forrest Gump - "...stupid is as stupid does...", when it comes to applying logic and facts....Jus-dim is a great 'worker bee' of the far left in that he puts his head down and plows forward with the talking points and rhetoric; never letting the facts get in his way. LOL!!
