2. there's a high pitch whirring sound, so I'll find it somewhere else. Probably Faux noise channel

and their hack staff screwing up. And why is it when I turn through the channels, Faux is always over-saturated with color?

4. We must not forget that well over 200 politicians have signed a pledge

to Grover Norquist never to vote to raise taxes - EVER. We must ask where their loyalties lie. With Norquist or the American people?

5. Where is the welfare or the American people in this three ring circus that is our dysfunctional...

The party of NO! got us into this economic mess with two unnecessary, off budget wars and major tax cuts for those most able to pay. Now they want Social Security and Medicare recipients to shoulder the costs. Neither Social Security or Medicare has anything to do with the debt or the deficit. We pay for those with a line item out of each pay check.
When the Republicans are in control, deficits don't matter. Now suddenly they do? What changed besides the political affiliation of the President? With the change of the President, suddenly all that the Republicans said was good under the last Administration, now are bad?
Where is the welfare or the American people in this three ring circus that is our dysfunctional government? John Boehner never even hinted last night.
Why is there no talk of cutting the Pentagon budget, a budget as large as the rest of the world combined? Why is there no talk of stopping the 5 or 6 or however many wars we've started.
Where is the talk of changing the tax structure to bring our Living Wage Jobs back into this country again? Living Wage jobs that use to be the powerful engine for a booming economy.
Where is the talk on making the Well-To-Do pay their fair share of taxes again? Why do they think it is OK to make Social Security and Medicare recipients pay for the Republican's greed?
Why are we the only industrialized country without some form of Single Payer, Universal Health Care?
The Republicans have proven beyond a doubt, they don't want to improve government. They want it to be inefficient and corrupt so they can justify butchering the hell out of it, and that's why they do such a bang up job making government fail whenever they are elected.
Treason anyone?
