At The Cliff

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Boehner couldn't even get his own plan past his own party and then he and a handful of Republicans get together and blame it on the Democrats.
Geez...

He REALLY Didn't Want The Presidency

Posted By Rod Kaufman

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/mitt-romney-no-desire-president-tagg-says-191236665--election.html
I see one of the many red necks in my (red) neck of the woods has replaced his bumper sticker with: "Secede from the United Socialist States of America". I wonder if he knows what state he's living in...

Corporate Tax Rate: Going Down!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Even though a small group of Tea party type extremists hold their own party hostage along with the rest of the country, one thing they and the president can agree on: lowering corporate tax rates:

Individual tax rates(yours) will go up, if we over over the cliff as the Tea party Republicans hope for, but, rest assured, any deal will lower the corporate rate.
Happy Holidays!...

Egypt's new constitution

Jim,
After reading the link, you better be careful about insulting Islam or you might have a Fatwa issued on your hide, forget about the thorn. You think Herb's got problems with that wacko Aussie? That pales in comparison...

Ashley Judd Closing On McConnell

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Actress Ashley Judd is within 4 points of McConnell in the senator's own polling:

She's definitely closing on his six, I can hear the growl of that AIM-9 sidewinder now!
McConnell, for his part, didn't help matters by making a complete fool out of himself when he wound up filibustering his own bill just the other week.
Now the squeeze on that Republican sleaze is mounting:

Ah yes, the Republican train wreck in motion...

How can we possibly lose with these guys leading?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I think an emergency session of congress should be called and the members kept in session until they either solve it or keel over in their chairs. Enough of this already...

What does stupid and screwed look like?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

It's bad enough when some stupid buys alcohol for a minor and the minor gets drunk and drives and hits somebody. But when you have an imbecile like her buying an assault rifle for a convicted murderer of his own kin, it's taking it to a whole new level. There are times when people have to be protected from themselves. This is an example of one of those times, hence the need for a ban on assault rifles. Reduce the ready availability of these types of weapons so the possibility of similar occurrences are reduced.

PS: Would you want your girl friend learning how to shoot with a .357 magnum as her first gun? Know what the kick is like with one? (Not to mention the noise)...

Porkers!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Bring me some real pork!

What about those missile defense systems the Pentagon says we don't need? Where's the outcry from the Tea party about that? What CNN brought us is probably nothing compared to that.
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring me some real pork! Common Jim Johnson you know about it! grin
