2. Great stuff! nt

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Hot damn, Nancy.

Show 'em how it's done.

[texastoast]

10. GO, Nancy

At least someone is working for us on something.

5. Great news! I read on DU yesterday that this vote will need 2/3 majority. Can anyone confirm that?

Either way, let's get these fuggers on record!

8. Yes they are going to vote but make sure it does not pass. That way they can be 'forced' to give the

rich their blow jobs

[PBS Poll-435]

12. Cuts sunset this year

Not passing a bill effectively ends the Bush tax cuts.



:shrug:

[Vincardog]

13. I am fine with that. What they will do is FAIL to pass the Middle class cuts alone and then be

"FORCED" to extend them all.
It is all Theater.

[emulatorloo]

17. And you know this how?

[Vincardog]

18. I have been watching them. Where have you been?

[emulatorloo]

20. So you are just speculating then. Actually the House put out some great legislation

these last two years. The Senate was the bottleneck.

[Vincardog]

23. How does that disprove my statement?

[howaboutme]

22. I'm becoming a cynical SOB - sorry.

It's smoke and mirrors just like CEO pay and bonuses and card check and public option. All talk no hard action. I'm becoming one cynical SOB.

What happened to reconciliation? How is it that the Rs used it for Bush's cuts but Democrats don't? The real problem is that too many (not all) politicians in both Parties serve the master that George Carlin spoke of. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acLW1vFO-2Q His video has hit over 1 million hits going to 300 million.

9. The fast-track rule

Will have to find out if it applies to this piece.

[Parker CA]

14. I'm pretty sure that's what I read, which means this is a huge uphill battle, but it may be enough

of a spotlight on those being anti-middle-class that we get what we need. Then of course it's the senate issue.

6. Boehner isn't crying in that photo--the expression is way better than that!

Click on the link--you won't be disappointed! :rofl:

YOU GEAUX, GRRL! Yesyesyesyesyesyes! :bounce:

7. Happy to send this to the Greatest! Yes! nt

11. Ya know, and I realize I'll probably get laughed at mercilessly, but.....

when the time comes for Dems to look for a candidate, a fighter, one who knows policy and the workings of our government, and would like to see the first woman as President in the WH, you'd have to look far and wide for anyone smarter than Pelosi. I just admire her so much. She's got "it" and knows how to use it....

[Vincardog]

15. How about Pelosi/Boxer in 2012?

[monmouth]

19. Or Pelosi/Grayson or Dean...n/t

[Imajika]

16. This isn't calling their bluff..

More like it is giving Democrats cover.

Everyone already knows the GOP and White House are going to come to an agreement.

All Bush tax cuts will be extended 2 years. That will be the deal.
