So what are the ConservaDems pushing: health reform to save thousands of lives? No:
Some conservative House Democrats are pushing to extend the Bush tax cuts, likely earning themselves favor with “Republican-leaning business associations.” Pat Garofalo writes, “There’s absolutely no reason to extend these cuts, which this year will give millionaires more in tax breaks than 90 percent of Americans will earn in income.”

2. Chuck Todd, Savannah Guthrie, John Harwood called the SC Decision
Judicial Activism.

Historically and in the present, the GOP always yell about
Liberal Judicial Acitivism.

Observers have noted over the years the Conservative Court
starting with SCJ Rehnquist has been the most acitivist.
Activism regarding Business Law.

Democrats have ignored this all this time.

3. now, with corporate sponsorship, there's no reason whatsoever to get rid of the tax cuts
those of us fortunate enough still to be working for an income will continue to pay for the luxury lifestyle of the idle rich parasites who contribute nothing of value to society, whose welfare payments obscenely exceed those of the poorest and most vulnerable, who will get only the shaft. That corporate welfare will then be spent on propaganda and politicians who will ensure the direct pipeline from our wallets to their bank accounts is maintained and that we are perpetually screwed.

meanwhile, there's "no money" for healthcare or social programs, but plenty for weapons of mass destruction, invading armies, and pillaging "contractors."

4. Yeah, Dems should compound the problems and do nothing because we're doomed.
Nonsensical crap.
