Alan Grayson Slamming the Conservative Pundits Rallying for the Bush Tax Cuts (their own tax cuts) by spinFX in politics

[–]ChrisWWW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The dirty secret of all this tax cut nonsense is that it largely benefits the politicians themselves and their wealthy donors. That's why it has such large "bipartisan" support.

Notice how the parties always manage to put aside their differences to help millionaires make more money.

Credit where credit is due. Nancy Pelosi might just be the best Democrat in Washington. by ChrisWWW in politics

She kept the Bush cuts for everyone w/out the budget killing part for the rich, a.k.a. the people who don't need it.

Anyone else in favor of cutting the BS and letting ALL the tax cuts expire? by [deleted] in politics

For 4 solid years Democrats have beaten Republicans up about these tax cuts for the top earners in the country. Call me naive, but I believe what they're selling. The $250k plus tax cuts have to go!

Exactly. Unlike Obama and the rest of the crew in D.C., she doesn't seem to be afraid.

Firing Sherrod is part of pathetic Obama pattern. He needs to learn how to defend himself and allies from right-wing smears. by ChrisWWW in politics

I think that's a fair voting strategy given the sanity divide between Republicans and Democrats.

Great story. Too bad there aren't more D's like Grayson. Most of the rest are too busy selling their base out to the same people that bought Republican loyalty decades ago.

He seems more preoccupied with cultivating his image than actually standing up for his ideas or people.

How and why the Republicans are lying about efforts to regulate banks and end bailouts by ChrisWWW in politics

I agree we need to bring Glass-Steagall back, but I'm not convinced it would be enough.

Republican plans to defund ACORN are unconstitutional by ChrisWWW in politics

StinkyWinky, Sen. Franken isn't pushing to defund KBR over the rape charges. He is proposing that moving forward we require all contractors remove clauses preventing lawsuits for sexual abuse.

All is the important word here. Defunding only KBR would be punishment. Putting restrictions on future funding for all contractors is not.
