The Republicans filibustered deficit reduction.<br /><br />The bill would have created nearly two million new jobs. The Republicans filibustered the creation of two million new jobs.<br /><br />The bill would have increased the gross domestic product (GDP) by two points. The Republicans filibustered increasing the GDP.<br /><br />The bill would have cut taxes for 98 percent of businesses. The Republicans filibustered a tax cut for businesses.<br /><br />The bill would have offered a tax credit for military veterans returning from war. The Republicans filibustered a tax credit for the troops.<br /><br />The bill would have reduced unemployment by a full percentage point. The Republicans filibustered a reduction in unemployment.<br /><br />The bill would have been paid for by a 5.6 percent surtax on millionaires -- a surtax that, again, a majority of Republican voters support. The Republicans filibustered paying for the bill.<br /><br />So spare me your corporate masters' talking points.Sweeet annynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-72033007536745593852011-10-19T10:15:47.087-08:002011-10-19T10:15:47.087-08:00Information like this never shows up on the "...Information like this never shows up on the "fair and balanced" network.<br /><br />I'm thinking they need to pay for ad time on reruns of "Hee Haw" in order to get such facts out to the masses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-64034964185826400452011-10-19T08:05:05.062-08:002011-10-19T08:05:05.062-08:00I used to write Murkowski (et al) and Young all th...I used to write Murkowski (et al) and Young all the time. But it's like talking to a brick wall. They say they are all about fiscal responsibility and the good for "all" Alaskans, yet their actions are anything but. At least Don is clear about only "serving those who voted for him", Lisa at least pretended she was unshackling herself from the GOP when she went rogue on them and won her write-in campaign against Miller. Independent much Lisa? Uh, not very.<br /><br />And Begich.

I don't understand Rick Perry's stance: it's not quite a wide stance... but it's not a regular stance either.<br /><br />When the GOP pres candidates have the group shot at the end of each debate everyone looks OK except Perry: head back, chest thrown out, shoulders back & legs apart.. <br /><br />It's beyond me as a female to interpret.

Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) for her straightforwardness. "It's refreshing to hear somebody candid and blunt like Michelle Obama -- or Michele Bachmann -- I'm sorry -- tonight. She came right out and she said, no, she would not cut foreign aid to Israel because they are such a strong ally."<br /><br />~~<br />And, my FAVORITE!!!!!~<br /><br />"However, she said the candidates were evasive: "It amazes me that the candidates so often get to escape actually answering the question. They get to spin and pivot and go off onto their sound bites that they want in the 10 seconds that they have to make a point," she said. As vice presidential candidate in 2008, Palin beat expectations in her one debate but performed poorly in several interviews.<br /><br />"I think the hosts need to kind of dig a little bit more and come back to that candidate and say, No, that's not what I asked you. Here's what I asked you. Please answer it," she said.<br /><br />~~~~~~<br /><br />Is your jaw on the floor?<br /><br />There are no. words. <br /><br />With all the full snark intended, "GOD I love that woman!"Sarah Vs.

They have been ignoring the "will of the American people" blatantly for 3 years. If we end up with the same mean-ass idiots after the 2012 election, plus more of those way-the-wind-blows blue dogs, then I will have to conclude that the "American People" are just a bunch of lazy dumbfucks who couldn't find their asses with both hands.
