3. Good! When the Dems get back in power, they should |

Gee, do you think you might want to keep the deficit mess in mind when you look at renewing the f**king income and estate tax cuts next month!!!!! Or is it just easier to steal from the middle class, assholes???

If you're so afraid its of your own damn doing.
Let's just go around the rules once and for all, get the special counsel prosecutor and put all these bastards on record. They're sniveling cowardly weasels when confronted up front.
