How about your hero pinenut--Mickey-dees say they are going to drop 30,000 people from health care because they do not know what the future holds. Companies are holding on to millions because they do not know what the tax base is going to be. And before you holler thats the fault of the reps, facts are the only reason they did not vote is because they did not have the votes. 30 dems were voting with the reps on tax relief. Try to defend that truth pinenut the dems left the American people out in the street while they go home.

After two years of compassionate change, we have more folks unemployed and more folks on food stamps than any time in our nation's history.
After two years of attacking business and creating uncertainty in the business community, therefore forcing business to be reluctant to hire new employees, the democrats vote to go on vacation without addressing the tax issue. How is that for compassion?

However, my property taxes went up about thirty percent this last year. How is that for compassion.


Rufus, you do a lot of research for your "cut and paste" education campaign. How about cutting and pasting a list of democrat candidates who are campaingning on their accomplishments the last two years.
Surely their campaign of change, which you have repeatedly defended, if worthy of chest thumping by the folks who rammed it through.

Senate Republicans Vote Against Helping Small Businesses

The crisis that rocked the world's financial systems in 2008 sent shockwaves through every corner of the economy. Terrified investors fled from the stock market and shaken financial firms on the verge of collapse refused to loan businesses money. Americans lost confidence in the economy and severely scaled back their spending habits in favor of saving money for an uncertain future. Consumers' sudden thriftiness hurt businesses everywhere which, unable to receive lines of credit from the teetering financial sector, were forced to lay off workers.

Layoffs caused further pessimism about the economy, which scared even more Americans to reel back their spending, which strained small businesses and led to additional layoffs. It is a cycle that, as we've seen, is very hard to break.

But today the Senate took an important step forward by advancing the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act to ensure America's job creators have access to lines of credit that will enable them to hire new workers and invest in the future. Or, to be more specific, Senate Democrats and retiring Republican Sens. George Voinovich (R-OH) and George LeMieux (R-FL) took an important step forward. The rest of the Republican caucus tried to kick small businesses to the curb by attempting to stop the bill from being voted on in the first place.

The bill gives investors a 100% exclusion from capital gains taxes on investments in small businesses, increases the amount businesses can expense on capital investments, and establishes new programs to help American small businesses export goods to other countries.

Perhaps most importantly, the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act also creates a Small Business Lending Fund that gives community banks — not Wall Street banks — the opportunity to increase lending to local small businesses, which the Independent Community Bankers of America says will create 500,000 jobs over the next two years.

Republicans opposed the bill because they believe November's election will be a referendum on the economy. In their view, the more they can obstruct economic progress, the more they'll be rewarded at the ballot box.

Unified GOP To Block Senate From Debating Wall Street Reform

Gop Wall Street, Mcconnell Wall Street Reform, Mitch McConnell, Obama Reform, Business News 846843

Mitch McConnell has rounded up the necessary votes to block Democrats from bringing Wall Street reform to the Senate floor, a spokesman for the Senate Minority Leader said on Friday afternoon.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said on Thursday he planned to bring the bill to the floor next week where it would be debated and amendments added. McConnell has now persuaded 41 Republicans to vote against debating reform.

'We simply cannot ask the American taxpayer to continue to subsidize this 'too big to fail' policy. We must ensure that Wall Street no longer believes or relies on Main Street to bail them out. Inaction is not an option," McConnell writes in a letter to Reid ,

Reid spokesman Jim Manley told HuffPost that Reid will be moving ahead regardless.

"Congratulations. I hope they feel good," said Manley. "They've got 41 signatures on a weak, watered-down letter that simply calls for more negotiations. If they are at all serious, they will simply let us go to the bill next week and let the amendment process begin."

Manley said the bill will be brought up for a vote on a motion to proceed to debate later this coming week.

PMB, you can post all of the liberal garbage you want to. Fact is this is an anti-buisness administration trying to find any avenue it can to get in the pockets of the people with the resources. This administration is pro union, pro government, pro taxes, pro regulation so it can get more of the taxpayers money to waste on vacations, concerts, vote buying, parties and so on. This congress coudn't even pass a budget and has had 2 years to rewrite the tax code and failed leaving individuals and buisnesses to wonder what is next. The dems have had control of the congress since Jan. 2007 and look at the mess they have made and it has only gotten worse since gaining control of the oval office. Lets see the great results from all of the legislation they have already passed, oh that's right none of it has done what it promised so why should anyone believe more dumbazz legislation from dumdazz legislators will render different results.

IF THEY HAVE DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB WHY ARE THE DEMS RUNNING AWAY FROM THEIR RECORD RATHER THAN RUNNING ON THEIR RECORD, JUST LIKE YOU ALL THEY HAVE IS TRYING TO SMEAR REPUBLICANS.

Almost everything Rufus posts is older and out of touch, let alone out of date...SOMEONE is sending these things to him, or sending him the links to them. My bet has been on Chief Long Hair for a while now, and Rufus honestly hasn't denied it...blind devotion to democrats is exactly what Obambi and his cronies are counting on. \

The democruds have had TWO YEARS of owning all three branches of government and these IDIOTS have known about the impending cessation of the so called Bush tax cuts the WHOLE TIME, yet chose to do NOTHING about them...unless they come back for a special session, not just the lame duck session, but a special session for this issue, it will amount to the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY.

But Obambi and his merry band of morons act like its THEIR money that we are demanding...instead of the other way around.

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A GOOD REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN-

--Republican Pledge: A Rotten Egg for the Middle Class
Fri Sep 24, 2010 at 06:52:11 AM PDT
This week Republicans made a Pledge to America in a bid to win votes in the mid-term elections. The GOP promised to indulge the rich with tax breaks and penalize the middle class with rescinded health care benefits and eliminated regulations protecting workers. When Republicans ran Herbert Hoover, they pledged a "chicken in every pot." They gave the United States the Great Depression instead. The most recent Republican president gave the United States the Great Recession, and the GOP has responded by downsizing its promise to America. This time it’s just an egg -- a rotten egg hurled at the middle class.


When Herbert Hoover ran for president in 1928, the Republican party promised his victory would assure the prosperity of "a chicken in every pot." This week, Republicans proffered a similar pledge to America.

Hoover won, and in 1929, after a decade of GOP rule in Washington, Republicans did deliver something foul to Americans. It wasn’t the much-anticipated cooking hen. It was the Great Depression.

Now in the Great Recession, also delivered during a GOP presidency, Republicans have presented a new promise. They pledged to withdraw all unspent Recovery Act money to prevent it from employing even one more worker; kill health care reform to stop 30 million Americans from getting affordable insurance; slash $100 billion from federal programs protecting the middle class; preserve tax cuts for the rich and cut government regulation -- like oversight of Gulf-oil-gusher-BP and contaminated-egg-producers Jack and Peter DeCoster.

This time, the GOP downsized the "chicken in every pot" promise. Instead they’re pledging a salmonella-poisoned egg.

In 1932, Americans wisely rejected re-electing Republican Hoover, who is regarded as one of the nation’s most inept leaders, and chose instead Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt, revered as one of the best. This fall, it’s crucial that Americans choose sagely again, selecting Democrats intent on reforming Washington and protecting the nation’s middle class.

Eight years of Republican rule in Washington climaxed with the worst recession since the Great Depression. Since that downturn officially began in December of 2007, poverty, unemployment and foreclosures have risen while middle class income and health insurance coverage have fallen.

The poverty rate increased to the worst level in 16 years, with 3.7 million people slipping from the middle class to the ranks of the poor in 2009. One in seven Americans now is impoverished. More than 8 million workers have lost their jobs, and 2.3 million families have lost their homes to foreclosure. Nearly one in four mortgage holders is under water, meaning they owe more on their house than it’s worth. Also, last year, the number of uninsured Americans rose by 4.4 million to 50.7 million -- 16.7% of the population. It was the largest annual increase since the government began collecting comparable data in 1987.

By contrast, on Wall Street, where unrestrained and unregulated bankster recklessness caused the recession, happy days are here again. The banks that taxpayers bailed out have resumed paying million-dollar salaries and bonuses. The nation’s top 25 hedge-fund managers each took home an average of $1 billion (BILLION) last year. Those hedgers are among the nation’s richest 1 percent, those whose take home pay grew so fast between 1979 and the start of the recession in 2007 that nearly 39 percent of all income growth went to that tiny number of super-wealthy. Only 36 percent went to the bottom 90 percent of the nation’s population.

Democrats, keenly aware of the diverging experiences of the nation’s sucker-punched workers and its well-heeled elite, have worked to aid the beleaguered middle. They passed the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which the Congressional Budget Office estimated created between 1.4 million and 3.3 million jobs by July.

Democrats reformed health insurance so that children with pre-existing conditions can’t be denied insurance; senior citizens won’t have to pay for "donut hole" medications; young adults up to age 26 may remain on their parents’ plans, and insurance companies can no longer choose doctors or place lifetime limits on coverage or drop the sick. On top of all that, the Democrats’ reform will lower federal deficits by $138 billion.

Now, Democrats are fighting to preserve income tax cuts for the middle class while eliminating breaks for the rich. The Democrats would continue to lower by $1,132 a year the taxes of median wage earners, those with incomes of about $50,000 a year. Under the Democrats’ plan, the super rich – those taking home more than $1 million a year -- would still get a tax cut of $6,349 – six times that of the middle class. But Democrats would have the super richpay $97,651 in taxes a year that they now pocket.

Democrats think the rich have an obligation to pay those taxes. To get where they are, in the top one percent income bracket, they’ve used tax-subsidized public services at significantly higher rates than the other 99 percent of Americans. That includes services such as roads and airports, civil courts, the U.S. patent office, the U.S. Department of Commerce and professional licensing, regulation and inspection departments.

Republicans don’t agree. They believe the middle class should pay so the rich can continue getting breaks. The GOP believes it is fine to give tax cuts to the rich that will cost nearly $1 trillion over 10 years, but not pay for them. Conversely, Republicans have refused to extend unemployment insurance for the middle class jobless unless that’s paid for. The GOP believes it’s appropriate to continue tax breaks for multi-national corporations that ship jobs overseas but it’s not to extend aid to the middle class unemployed to pay for health insurance.

In their Pledge to America, Republicans promise to take care of the rich. They said they’d change Washington by decimating the very regulation that protects middle class workers and their families and by cutting off money that is providing jobs to the unemployed. The GOP pledges to undermine middle class America.

It might be called a turkey, but even that would inflate its value. It’s a rotten egg hurled at middle America.

Maybe you should do some research in the same period since the stimulas was passed the Bush tax cuts created 1.4 million jobs while the stimulas has seen a loss of 2.6 million, those numbers came from the buruea of labor statistics and not some bogus estimate.

I like how you say (but you know that) when you post is complete bull$hit. Tax cuts, LMAO!!!!! The government is the one selling the country to the chinese. The fattest cats in this country are in Washington.

Democrats feel the the rich are obligated to pay more taxes, I guess rich democrat politicians are exempy from that obligation after seeing all tax paying problems from Obamas appointments. YOU MUST HAVE JUMPED OFF IN THE SHALLOW END HEAD FIRST.

You keep talking about how successful this administration is but you have ZERO measurables to support what you say but you know that, your whole post is more of the same. NOTHING!! B.S!! RHETORIC!!

As for your last question, stopping Obama is enough for me anything more would be gravy.

The Fence

        If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

        If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
        If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

        If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
        If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

        If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
        If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.



        If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
        A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

        If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
        Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.

        If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
        A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

        If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
        A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

        If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends know how to vote in November!
        A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".

        Well, I forwarded it!
