odd that you make that claim when the following is being considered right now by the Dems:

Congress currently is debating how to extend the Bush-era tax cuts. President Barack Obama and most Democrats favor extending them for the middle class, defined as families making less than $250,000; Republicans and some centrist Democrats favor extending them for all. But given the divisions in Congress, it’s not inconceivable that lawmakers won’t be able to reach agreement and the tax cuts will lapse on Dec. 31.

Jim Dandy: Well if they let them expire, we'll see how the lying democrats spin it. I trust my information sources (it's not fox news) and frankly I don't trust the link you provided. They are the liars.

Democrats are liars. Don't believe them about the tax cuts.

By John D. McKinnon

Expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts would take a sizable bite out of middle-income families’ disposable incomes, according to a soon-to-be-released study by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

The study examines the effects in each state and congressional district for the middle 20% of taxpayers. (The study excludes single taxpayers, which makes the savings appear somewhat bigger, because the Bush-era tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 were more favorable to families, particularly those with children.)

Jim Dandy: that's not true.

Jim Dandy: If you're referring to the Bush tax cuts, if they are allowed to expire they will affect everyone.

Ferris Bueller: that's true, but that's not enough to reject the message.

Jim Dandy: Nonsense. Taxing small businesses stunts growth. Every economics student knows this basic fact.

Jim Dandy: Why should people who are still unemployed continue to get benefits? Their benefits ran out. The government isn't supposed to be in the business of giving people money. We don't have an empty pot. Many people just won't get off their butts and take a job because "it doesn't pay enough." nonsense.

And the tax cuts, if lifted, will trickle down and everyone will be affected. It WILL affect small businesses. It will affect the creation of jobs. It's nonsense to think that picking on the rich is somehow a noble thing to do. Democratic party is run by morons.

It's a sham that the Democrats are the party of the everyday people. They USE people, buy votes, and keep people in poverty so that they can stay in power. And there is BIG money backing the Democrats. They try to pretend that they don't have big business behind them but that is a lie. They do. They don't care about the people, they care about POWER and CONTROL.

Ferris Bueller: That's a fallacious argument. You don't address the points, you just attack a few of the supporters. That tells me you have either a very weak argument or none at all.

The Aristocrat Party
Clarice Feldman
Even the generally clueless Boston Globe is catching on. Our "people's party" is headed by rich aristocrats with lavish, ostentatious tastes:
Democrat John Kerry sets sail in a $7 million yacht built in New Zealan d. Republican Scott Brown hits the campaign trail in a GMC pickup truck with 200,000 miles on it.
From Newport, R.I., - where Kerry's "Isabel'' was berthed before heading to Nantucket - to Rhinebeck, N.Y. - where Chelsea Clinton will marry in a mansion modeled after Versailles - today's Democrats are looking more like Louis XVI than Tip O'Neill.
Kick in the First Family's vacation plans for Martha's Vineyard, and there's a real air of Marie Antoinette & Co. retreating to idyllic gardens, while Fox News whips up revolutionary flames. The ethics charges against Representative Charles Rangel of New York are added foie gras.

You can blame Obama in part for the media silence.  He's anti Israel.

Near-Massacre in Israel From Gaza Rocket Fire -- and the Media Yawn

Late Saturday, July 31, an upgraded Qassam rocket from Gaza scored a direct hit on the ceiling of a children's hydrotherapy rehabilitation center.

rod03801: Right on. The majority of Americans were/are against the health care bill. There's not going to be enough money to pay for it. There are fewer health care items in the bill than there is PORK. And even so, in ten years there will still be 20 MILLION people WITHOUT any health care.

As for banking, the Founders of the US warned against the very thing that Obama has done with banking.

As for Iraq, Obama is just trying to score political points. He's all talk, no substance.

Ferris Bueller: Just a small correction but an important one: it's NOT anti immigration, it's anti ILLEGAL immigration. ;)

Ferris Bueller: I guess that's possible but I think the Republicans are in a better position all around.

Neither Roosevelt nor Reagan
Clarice Feldman
Noemie Emery explains how Obama blew his lead and devastated his party in the August 2 edition of the Weekly Standard. Don't miss a word of it. Here's the conclusion:

As Henninger concluded, "Barack Obama took a rising reservoir of public trust for his party .  .  . and emptied it." Gallup's annual Confidence in Institutions poll, conducted in the second week of July, showed that only 11 percent of Americans have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in Congress. "Half of Americans now say they have ‘very little' or ‘no' confidence in Congress, up from 38 percent in 2009-and the highest for any institution since Gallup first asked this question in 1973." Talk about change, if you care to. And as for health care, Obama's major achievement, when the bill passed, it was opposed by a 20-point spread by the general public, and since then it has only sunk lower. In some polls, around 60 percent of respondents say that they want it repealed.

AZ immigration appeal scheduled for week of November 1
Clarice Feldman
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will not hear Arizona's appeal of the injunction order issued by Judge Bolton on an expedited basis. Instead the hearing is scheduled for week of November 1.

Professor Jacobson once again expresses my own thoughts on this:
The case now will be argued the week of November 1.
That may make DOJ lawyers happy, because they will have more time to put together their brief.
But it will not make Democratic politicians happy to have the Arizona case on the front page as voters are walking into the voting booth on November 2.
Democrats wished too hard for something, and they got it.

The elite's bogus appeal to 'authority'
Tom Rowan
One of the ruling class's favorite propaganda points is that they are smart and if you disagree with them you, in fact, are dumb.
Historian Paul Johnson pointed out the liberal ruling class's penchant for self puffery when he wrote Intellectuals. To give you an idea of where Johnson was going, chapter 1 is titled - Jean-Jacques Rousseau; ‘An Interesting Madman.'

Thomas Sowell exposes the "intellectual" ruling class who, as National Review put it, "Exalt themselves by denigrating our society - and are working to destroy it."

Liberals are self described authorities on everything.

Persuasive speech writing technique implores that the speech giver make an "appeal to authority" to persuade his audience. This is why Algore tells his audience that they don't have to take his word for it, just ask the experts. Ask the scientists, they are the authorities!

The "top nine authoritative science phrases in print media" are: science tells us we should, science requires, science dictates, science compels, science commands; science says we should, science tells us we must, and science says that we must. The print media makes science out to be a dictatorial prima donna or spoiled child actor.
This technique is used by Obama relentlessly. He implores us that "most leading economists" agree with him on everything. The only problem with that theory is that economists like Keynes are never held into account for their disastrous prescriptions. Algore can tell us that he invented the internet, was the original muse for Love Story, and that he is not bound by any "controlling legal authority" yet he is to be given a pass by the media. Being part of the ruling class means never having to say you are sorry or having to be proved to right about anything.

....

Palin, Limbaugh, and Reagan are to be mocked as less than intelligent. The left's assault on Palin is not in the battle of ideas, where the left always loses; it is on her appearance and her propagandized lack of intellect. Limbaugh was once again correct in his analysis of the Gulf oil spill. Time magazine's putrid Michael Grunwald gave credit to Rush by noting that the "obnoxious and anti-environmentalist" Rush Limbaugh was right. And who can forget the "amiable dunce" president we had who defeated the Soviet Union and created the largest peacetime economic expansion in the history of mankind?

One thing is for sure: When it comes to the issues that face the US, Palin has been right on where Obama has only floundered.

Bernice: Someday the "P" will stand for "President"

Bernice: Read my lips, "NO NEW BUSHES"

Bernice: He has promise. Imagine, another Bush in the White House. ;)

Ferris Bueller: Hey, I picked on Palin so I had to pick on the dems too.

Here's a short spelling lesson:

The last four letters in "American" = I Can

The last four letters in "Republican" = I Can

The last four letters in "Democrats" = Rats

End of Lesson. Test to follow in November. November will be set aside as rodent extermination month.

I do like Sarah Palin but even so, this is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. After her latest blunder with vocabulary, it was said that she finds her words in a "fictionary."

OMB nominee got $900,000 after Citigroup bailout

The most honest, the most transparent administration in history has another ethics problem with one of its key nominees.

Jacob Lew has been tapped to replace the departing OMB chief Peter Orszag:

President Obama's choice to be the government's chief budget officer received a bonus of more than $900,000 from Citigroup Inc. last year -- after the Wall Street firm for which he worked received a massive taxpayer bailout.

opps

Jim Dandy: John Stewart.

Ferris Bueller: I was falling off my chair. It doesn't matter who he picks on, he can make anyone laugh. His humor, facial expressions, quick wit, and everything else he does is just too good. Glad you liked it.

Pedro Martínez:  He's gonna be a great comedy relief!  

Jim Dandy:  How about this:  http://www.thedailyshow.com/videos/tag/Shirley%20Sherrod

Jim Dandy: 

Bernice: He's probably a democrat pretending to be a Republican. He kinda reminds me of Joe Biden by the way he says things.

Snoopy: I don't trust most politicians. And the more I learn of the reckless spending of the Bush administration, the more I dislike his policies too. Obama is worse. He's a liar. A slick willie. He doesn't keep promises and he'll tell you what you want to hear and then he'll do whatever he likes. Biden is a liar too.

Snoopy: American's need to wake up. People won't like this but many blacks that voted for Obama expected him to help them buy a house and get back on their feet. They expected "stuff." They didn't get it. Obama is a big talker but he is only a talker. He can't deliver. What he's bringing to the American people will not work, and will cost trillions and there will be no benefits.

Tuesday: You tell me.

Did you know that not all people will be covered? Even in 10 years there will still be 21 million people that are NOT covered. So much for universal health care.

Britain's national health care system is broken.

Some of the most common operations - including hip replacements and cataract surgery - will be rationed as part of attempts to save billions....

There are plans to cut hundreds of thousands of pounds from budgets for the terminally ill, with dying cancer patients to be told to manage their own symptoms if their condition worsens at evenings or weekends.

The closure of nursing homes for the elderly.

Medicare chief Donald Berwick - said that rationing is the wave of the future and there''s nothing that can be done except have government determine who gets what as far as health care is concerned.

Rationing. That's what death panels do. They tell you that you can't have this procedure because you're too old or it's too costly etc. It will happen.

Britain Decentralizing National Health Care
by NB Staff


Practical details of the plan are still sketchy. But its aim is clear: to shift control of England's $160 billion annual health budget from a centralized bureaucracy to doctors at the local level. Under the plan, $100 billion to $125 billion a year would be meted out to general practitioners, who would use the money to buy services from hospitals and other health care providers. The plan would also shrink the bureaucratic apparatus, in keeping with the government's goal to effect $30 billion in "efficiency savings" in the health budget by 2014 and to reduce administrative costs by 45 percent. Tens of thousands of jobs would be lost because layers of bureaucracy would be abolished.

Isn't it embarrassing that as European nations realize their socialist programs are bankrupting them we have a President and an entire political Party trying to emulate here what is failing there?

Tuesday: It's not the business of the US to run the healthcare of its citizens. And it will fail. Have you not read any of the posts I've made regarding it's failure? Did you not see the headlines from Britain's failed system?

Yes, Wait until November and then see it get repealed. lol

Tuesday: It will be repealed.

Tuesday: He's incompetent.

Tuesday: Not we'll see. We're seeing it. 27% think Obama knows what he's doing. More people have little to no confidence in him than do those that have confidence in him.

Tuesday: He has a very bad plan. He should have stuck to community organizing. He doesn't have a clue how to run a country.
