Yes, but they voted to extend them last winter, which you insist was the Dems fault. Joel Send a noteboard - 27/07/2011 03:30:33 AM
Because they didn't oppose them strongly enough, though you insist their erstwhile firmness on debt ceiling talks is also inexcusable.
If dems always give into republicans how come we have so many social programs that republicans oppose?

Looks like we won't for much longer. The main Dem rolling over for the GOP, however, is Obama; his caucus just gets left hanging when he won't let them take a hard line and promises Boehner he'll make Dems accept Republican demands in exchange for concessions he can't get and Republicans simply renege on if he does. I doubt anyone on either side of the aisle believes anything Obama says at this point; even when he means it he'll still buckle in the end as long as Republicans refuse to budge.

That's mostly BS Isaac - 26/07/2011 12:57:26 AM 891 Views
Boehner was onboard with Obamas initial deal but cited his caucus as the reason he backed out of it. Joel - 26/07/2011 01:39:06 AM 1002 Views
I'm sorry, did I mention Boehner in my message somewhere? Or the deal? Isaac - 26/07/2011 03:11:40 AM 796 Views
The "rest" you wanted me to spare you. Joel - 27/07/2011 03:22:54 AM 909 Views

Is there some lack of understanding about 'tangent' maybe? Isaac - 30/07/2011 04:57:15 AM 829 Views
Not at all; you stated exactly why I wasn't being tangential. Joel - 30/07/2011 12:47:08 PM 740 Views
You're making overtly contradictory statements now, so I think we're done Isaac - 31/07/2011 01:57:37 AM 759 Views
Half tangent then, according to the terms you set. Joel - 31/07/2011 02:24:15 AM 939 Views
"Problem solved"?!!! Joel - 25/07/2011 10:18:44 PM 864 Views

yeah, he pretty much lost my vote for a second term. *NM* Aisha - 25/07/2011 11:31:16 PM 327 Views
The real question is where do we go from here. Joel - 26/07/2011 01:52:31 AM 695 Views
Reid didn't cave as much as you might think random thoughts - 25/07/2011 11:58:08 PM 772 Views
I agree with that. nossy - 25/07/2011 11:59:41 PM 796 Views
to bad we have a media more interested in hyping the drama than they are in cutting through BS random thoughts - 26/07/2011 01:42:39 AM 782 Views
Absolutely. Macharius - 26/07/2011 01:37:08 PM 708 Views
we need a law like they have in canada that you can't lie during a newscast moondog - 26/07/2011 03:58:38 PM 775 Views
they don't lie they just edit the truth until it fits them random thoughts - 26/07/2011 04:41:24 PM 674 Views
I agree completely. nossy - 26/07/2011 05:07:37 PM 721 Views
Yeah, but any tax hikes, and any Dem leverage, is gone now. Joel - 26/07/2011 01:51:04 AM 963 Views
the tax cuts are set to expire on their own, they don't need to vote to cancel them. random thoughts - 26/07/2011 02:04:58 PM 699 Views
