2. I never thought they were that stupid... |
|
I thought they would actually vote it down. Voting to kill Medicare? And cutting the top tax rate to 25%?? Unbelievable!

5. Who ever thought that continued tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires |
|
would make it through? Why should they stop when they've encountered little resistance yet?

Actually, it would appear by just the raw numbers that a few Republicans voted no |
|
I'm willing to bet big money no Democrats voted yes on this one. Political suicide for any of Democrat, no matter how conservative, to even think of a yes vote on this one.

11. Except it won't. The chances of this passing the Senate are a million to one... |
|
the chances of it overcoming an Obama veto, even less so.

14. I would never vote for Ron Paul but at times he seems to be an ok sort of person |
|
His son could learn a bit from him.
I know Ron Paul is also anti-war - perhaps the senior Paul is more like the old school republicans that were actually truly fiscally conservative and not fundamental nutjobs.
