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.

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.

Brother Obama is pushing an effort to fund the Muslim Brotherhood's efforts to make Egypt, and hopefully, the entire Middle East run by theocracies. The Jerk-In-Chief is loaded with Allah...and BS.
I don't want my tax money being used to promote Islam and the deaths of infidels, dammit. The Boy Messiah's legacy will be the downfall of the West and all of its best qualities. We are entering a Dark Age, folks.
But...what the hey...weez gots free cellphones!
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 !!!!!!!!!!

Democrats, guns, and airplanes...
"Last week we reported on Democratic Illinois state Sen. Donne Trotter, who faces felony gun charges after attempting to take a handgun onto an aircraft."

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.

Let those Bush tax cuts expire...
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.

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.

Why GM and Chrysler RAN to Mexico...
"GM workers in Mexico earn wages and benefits of 340 pesos a day ($26.40) on average, or less than $4 an hour, said Tereso Medina, head of the union for GM’s 5,000 workers in Saltillo, a city that makes one in four Mexican autos."
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-09/gm-f...
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.

Middle class tax increases on the way.
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.

<quoted text>Nope.
Not gonna happen.
Neither one.
Why would you champion either of these things?
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?

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

<quoted text>has to do with economics. I can tell you right now, A guy I went to high school with is making more than they ever did working in a UAW Union Shop and within the first year after they closed the UAW union shop he was making 50% more in pay and Benefits and the UAW didnt do nothing for them, UAW was just interested in union dues and that is all they care about and trust me I have been in many union shops and same BS goes on the union only looking out for their financial position.
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.

"silly"
The pee must be running down your leg. Two of your fondest desires put forth by "nobama 2012";
- All private ownership of guns banned by 2016
- Repeal of the 22nd. amendment, so president nobama will have the ability to be president as long as he desires.
Your dreams answered.
Peace
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.

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Aquarius

You're very feisty and energetic and there's a lot you want to achieve. You'll get rather impatient if anyone stands in your way. A close emotional relationship will either be sexy and exciting beyond belief, or bad-tempered and tetchy. If you're in a grumpy mood, try to work out why - and what would improve matters. One thing that's bound to help is physical exercise, because it will burn off any excess nervous energy.
