ELIMINATING TAX CUTS DOES NOT MEAN RAISING TAXES, JUST PUTTING THEM BACK WHERE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALL ALONG.

Even some Democrats has been fooled into thinking that eliminating the tax cuts is 'raising taxes'.   If they are that far off in their thinking, it is questionable in my mind as to whether they should be re-elected.

After all, there has been enough talk about eliminating the tax cuts for the good of the overall budget and to take some of the pressure off the poor so that basic programs they need won't get eliminated.

Are there Democrats who are that unintelligent or are they being paid off in promises by the ones who are buying the Republicans.  Does anyone know whether Democrats are in office who have also signed the Grover Norquist pledge for no raising taxes?    (Norquist is the equivalent of the Sheriff of Nottingham.)   If Democrats habe joined int he signing, they should be fingered.

What happened to the people who used to run for the House and Senate because they wanted to of help to the people?  When did there stop being 'people' beyond the Legislature?  There really is a world out there, don't they remember that?

Katharine Q Seelye has written an article for THE CAUCUS which indicates that polls show that Romney appears to be losing Massachusetts to President Obama.  That should not be a surprise to many who were here during his tenure in Massachusetts and listen to his values today.  His brain today does not seem to be the one he was using here.as Governor.  Click here.   He is now against everything he was 'for', then.  He is even in favor of maintaining the tax cuts.

THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS IS ANTI-AMERICAN

It puzzles me how so many American voters can't see that the Republican politicians are working so hard to make Obama fail that they neglect to see their actions are failing America as well.   Reid has blasted the Republicans over the stalled vote on the Finance Bill but none of them seem to want to grow up and remember for whom they actually work.  Reid complains:  “They won’t let us move on any amendments,  It’s obvious that they do not want to put in decent restrictions on Wall Street.”  For the full article by David Herzenhorn in The Caucus, click here.

Republican obstructionism was last as powerful when, during the Clinton administration, they were a majority in Congress that hi-jacked the government to titillate themselves with the President's sex life.  Important bills languished while they spent their time pulling more and more prurient details to hang out to the voyeuristic public.

Obama should be commended for not having wasted his time on revenge of the last Administration that dumped nothing but debt and economic manure in his lap when they left office.  The Republicans immediately got amnesia about where many of the problems came from, with which he struggles today to get them to take action on for the good of the country.
