Congress has lost its mind... - Page 43

He still fails to mention the tax rate is lower than it has been in the past half century, and that the reason the tax cuts were set to expire was that even the conservatives that voted for them 10 years ago realized what a ticking time bomb they were.

He specifically cites the Democrats agenda, but is completely unwilling to mention the Republicans intransigence on any revenue, be it letting tax cuts expire or removing the most egregious loopholes.

Couldn't have said it any better...

Really? I wonder how the Left would react if a top strategist said they would have to do the same to Obama to beat him? Call them a racist or just call the secret service?

Quote:

In a move that will make some Democrats shudder, Obama’s high command has even studied former President George W. Bush’s 2004 takedown of Sen. John Kerry, a senior campaign adviser told POLITICO, for clues on how a president with middling approval ratings can defeat a challenger.

“Unless things change and Obama can run on accomplishments, he will have to kill Romney,” said a prominent Democratic strategist aligned with the White House.

I wonder what the British equivalent breakdown is.

Hmmm... we'll have to look. This is from before the crash so it may look nominally better now that everyone is poorer.

Griff · 08-20-2011, 02:26 PM

Something to look at although I don't have the same year.

Harry Reid is willing to allow the government to shut down over this. After all the complaining about the Republickins and the Debit Ceiling crisis and here we have the Demoncrats doing the same thing for a lessor cause. Sad....

Watchdog spotlights lawmaker ethics in 'most corrupt' report

Quote:

Nineteen lawmakers are listed as either violating the law or showing a lack of regard for congressional ethics and rules in a government watchdog group’s annual report on the “Most Corrupt” members of Congress.

The seventh annual report released Tuesday by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) lists 14 members — 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats — as having allegedly violated congressional ethics rules or criminal laws, such as illegally garnering campaign contributions or failing to disclose accurate financial records.
