Relax, Liberals! Republicans will NEVER accept tax increases.

Sure they accepted them three months ago, but that was totally different. Somehow.

So put out the fire in your hair, and get out there and think good thoughts about Hillary.

Regards,
Third-Way Manny

I guess when one has nothing to offer and no foundation to stand on, they just repeat the same insults again and again hoping that the repetition will be mistaken for wit.

I was curious and ran a search and found that years ago he had opinions. Now he's like a cynical jack in the box.

He's just trying to show how serious he is, OK? He does this because he loves you and wants the very best for you. So hush up -- and make sure you have your seat belts buckled, I see another bend in the road...

And I know this is a stupid question Third Way Manny, but why didn't he just let the Bush tax cuts expire when they were due to expire?

It's always the "He's a fool when he believes in the human race" scenario. Back then when FDR suggested SSI all hell broke out calling it total socialism . . . to communism. During Regan's era, the Dems re: Medicare, and of course, socialism . . to communism. Compromise is considered weakness and a betrayer. Clinton with DOMA and few other things that especially allowed over 700 hate radio and Fake news to do what they do which is total propaganda, but, America prospered.

Yeah, but my understanding, seniors, poor and disabled will not be affected, yes indeed, it remains the same. GOP want more cuts and will not offer any revenue. GOP rather see America fall into a great depression since they think their money is secure in other countries and maybe thats why they are cambering for more gold.

"He's a fool when he believes in the human race". My opinion, Pres O is the adult in the room.

say 'no, you cannot have that candy no matter how much you scream and kick and yell. .

Obama gave the badly-behaved children in the room the candy they were throwing a temper-tantrum over and now, as always happens when you cater to badly behaved children, they want more!
