If the Democrats introduced bills in both houses

[DearAbby]

To increase taxes on the upper 5%. Their elections would almost be assured. If they just make the attempt, to look like they are fighting for the 95% of us. There would be a Democratic majority. If they turned LEFT. GO LEFT DEMOCRATS!!!

Stop chasing the looney tunes...GO LEFT! Remember us? We are the ones you trampled over chasing the looney tunes, TURN AROUND!

1. Assertion is not argument

[gateley]

2. The Dems have introduced a lot of "good" stuff which never

saw the light of day, I think. I can't even cite anything because it's never been covered, never come up for a vote. I only know there are "things" they've attempted because every once in a while someone will reference something.

We need Rachel to do a chart to let the people know what they've been TRYING to do!

:hi:

It occurs to me, I'm talking only about the House. Don't know about the Senate, other than Reid's current bill.

[DearAbby]

3. And they extended the Bush tax cuts....

What you dont seem to understand, the democrats have chased the looney tunes so far right, left the rest of us behind. That was what I was saying.

5. Which you don't seem to understand was to get Unemployment Benefits extended.

[DearAbby]

8. And the GOP got away with that

and went for the jugular. HOLDING THE ENTIRE ECONOMY Hostage. Bigger stakes, why not? They got away with it the last time in the test run...Democrats folded like lawn chairs in the wind.

Fold your hand while the cards are being dealt. This isn't new and unique to this presidency. I remember how the Democrats chased the looney tunes durring Bush terms. Keepin da powder dry.

I feel like my party has kicked this ol ass to the curb, I didn't leave her, she left me.

6. Oh - I see your point. Yeah, they've done a stuff that sucks, I admit.

But they HAVE tried to do some good stuff, too! And that never gets out there. People always just keep citing the 'betrayals'.

And to be realistic, 95% of Americans aren't even paying attention. :shrug;

9. They extended tax cuts for the middle class and got unemployment. You can't just cherry-pick

Like that.

Dems are not the holdup here on revenue increases.

[KittyWampus]

4. So, they try introduce such a bill in the House and it's shot down immediately. Why would that get

them re-elected?

7. they tried, last december

Now, Democrats can't introduce anything in the House.
