The Tax Cut Mess
Well this is what I know.
- Sen. Obama and most of the democrats called the Bush tax cuts, cuts for the rich. I find this to be humorous that now we are so worried about the middle class. Are these taxes just for the rich or are they for all Americans? If they are for all Americans, when will the democrats apologize for characterizing these tax cuts as just for the rich.
- All democrats listen very closely. You do not have a leg to stand on. You have been in power (Congress) since 2007 and have had a democratic President for almost 2 years. You could have passed new tax laws at any point during that time. You instead chose to focus on health care, cap and trade, don't ask don't tell, and other issues that you deemed more important. When democrats blame the lack of an extension on the tax cuts on Republicans it is a flat out lie. Either you are really bad with math (255-180) (58-40 +2 Independents who caucus with the Dems) Is enough to get any bill passed for example healthcare.
- I am all for lowering the deficit. That is why I have taken the position of letting all of the tax cuts expire. Dems are all about raising taxes and dems claim we need more revenue, let them all expire. Let's see what happens. Will this really help close the gap? or will dems find something else to spend this new found revenue on?

I am glad Charles had the courage to step up to the plate and ask the tough question: "What did Juan do to get fired?"
Watch and enjoy.

Hey Axelnob, I don't remember you making a fuss when Barry was collecting money from foreign entities during the 2008 election. Good job Candy.

2010 Midterms
I have not written a lot about this subject, but I have spoken about it a great deal with libs on Facebook. Most Democrats are living in some sort of fantasy land. They believe they will be reelected if they simply bash Bush. Well I am here to let them know, that Americans have had enough of the Bush bashing. It cannot last forever. Eventually the "chickens do come home to roost".
I see three trends that are going to make if very difficult for the Democrats to hold onto to their super majorities in Congress.
- The conservative base is very energized about this year's midterm. They have been blogging, writing letters to their congressman/congresswoman and Tea Parties have formed and show that they are a force to be reckoned with (see Ran Paul KY,Sharron Angle NV).
- Democrats have misread the past two election cycles. Since the 2006-08 election cycles Dems have let their hair down so to speak. They have come out of their cloaks and are showing us they are the big spending, higher taxes, die hard liberals we (conservatives) always knew they were. Independents voted for the Dems the past two election cycles, but things are changing. A reader from the Washington Post sums it up this way:
"In 2006, Democrats talked about how bad the economy was and how they could do better. In 2006, unemployment was 4.3% and in decline. After taking control of both branches of Congress (and therefore all legislation and spending), they drove the rate to 8%. With the help of a super-majority in Congress and Obama in the White House in early 2007, they drove the rate to 10% where it hovers now."
This week it was reported that Barry's approval with Independents is slipping away. After having an approval as high as 56% his standing is now hovering around 38%.
- Last but not least is the economy. As stated in the paragraph above, the unemployment rate was around 4.3% when the Dems took over Congress in 2006. Since 2008 the President and this liberal Congress have helped increase this number with their horrible fiscal policies. We have a deficit that is rising faster than the temperature in AZ in the month of August! These guys (and gals) have spent billions and even trillions on healthcare, job bills (lol), a non working stimulus, bailouts, etc...
I have only about 4 months to see if I am right or not, but the way things are going now, I wouldn't bet against me.
