The Real GOP Fiasco: Fairness
Bill Kristol, for once, is right. The Bush tax cuts for the rich have to go. The election is barely over, but true to form, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have already bungled the next one. Their line in the sand is exactly the wrong way to recast the GOP’s appeal to minorities, women, and working-class whites. Look at the data. Exit polls showed that voters largely agreed that Romney was a “strong leader” and “had a vision for the future.” But as AEI’s Henry Olsen notes,“Romney lost because he lost among those who chose the remaining characteristic – by 63 points, 81-18. That characteristic? Cares about people like me.”(The exit polls do not include the nine million white voters who showed their opinion by not voting at all.) Having lost two national elections in which the Bush tax cuts were at issue, the GOP Congressional leadership now seems determined to dig the ditch deeper. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-re... The Republican Party can appeal to “Judeo-Christian values” as long as the sun shines and their voices hold out. But they’ve abandoned the most basic moral value of all: fairness. America is supposed to be the land of opportunity. But tell that to minorities, to single women, to working-class whites. Even 44 percent of voters who earn over $200,000 a year voted for Obama, the candidate who promised to raise their taxes. |

Oh NO!!!!!!!!!! Not the Dark Ages!!!!!!!!!!Oh NO!!!!!!!!!! The US has sent Egypt $1.3 Billion per year for the past 40 years as payoff to leave Israel alone. Israel gets $3 Billion per year by the way. But now under Obama doing what has been done for the past 40 years it's the Dark Ages. OH NO !!!!!!!!!! |

They ran the best and brightest minds they had in the Repub Party. |

America needs to get rid of all these guns. In countries where guns are banned, gun crimes are practically nonexistent. Most Americans agree that President Obama needs to step up to the plate and get rid of all these guns. |

In today's improved economy, Americans can afford to pay a more in taxes. Tax dollars are necessary to keep the government functioning properly. Paying taxes is one of the most patriotic things an American can do. |

Judged: 1 Jeeps are responsible for the destruction of millions of acres of wetlands and beaches every year. They should be banned like they were recently on North Carolina's outer banks. Nobody needs to be driving on our beaches and wetlands. That's what America's highway system is for. |

Judged: 1 A person in Mexico can live very comfortabley on $26.40 a day. They have a different economy. Americans could live comfortabley on that before George Bush destroyed the economy. |

The Fast & Furious project was a matter of national security whose details need not be made public. |

President Obama's re-election was the gratest thing that happened to America in the past 50 years. |

Judged: 1 Middle class Americans can afford to pay a little more in taxes. Nobody needs $250,000 a year to live. Much of it could be used to improve America's infrastructure and health care and to clean up America's air and water. |

Judged: 1 Because it's been proven time and time again that in countries where guns are banned violent crimes are far less frequently. If the President is doing a good job such as President Obama is why should he be limited to two terms? If your mother is doing a good job raising you, should she be replaced after 8 years? |

Judged: 1 President Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act assures that all Americans have access to quality health care, not just the privileged few. |

Just be grateful you are not a rich French national earning over one million euro$ a year. They will be taxed 75% for everything over that with new French socialist government.
I'd love to see how the tea people would handle that. lol http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2012/09/... |

Judged: 1 Wait until he gets his hands cut off because safety standards went down. Among other things, unions assure safety in the workplaces and equal pay for equal work. |
|
|
Judged: 1 Nobody needs deadly guns. It's not just my dream. It's a majority of American's dreams. President Obama's recent landslide victory proves that. And our President could easily be elected to a third term. |
