He's shining a very bright light on all the awful, and disgraceful things our government has done and continues to do, all around the World!! Things, that may end up biting us regular folk in the ass, while others hide safely in their undisclosed locations, sitting atop piles of cash!! We scream and shout about how awesome we are....looks like our shine, is looking a little dull, right now! We behave like a kid who got his hand caught in the cookie jar, with that "what...what did i do?" look on our face. We all shout about wanting the truth, about what our "leaders," are up to in our name....but when it's laid out in front of us, we refuse read, see or believe it. Yes, there's a country that's a laughing stock around the World, and it's not Sweden!! American citizens ought to be cheering him on.

Democrats were always in favor of middle class tax cuts, so that aside what is the extra cost in a two year extension of millionaire tax cuts? 140 billion. For that they got 56 billion of unemployment extensions and reduction of payroll tax. All in all not a bad deal considering the alternative of doing nothing at all. Politically, the Republicans have a problem in forcing this issue. I dunno, it seems to be simple calculus to me.

Every slanderous accusation that they accumulated for over 15 years would have been thrown at her and would still be reverberating courtesy of FNC. She might still have won, but assuming that she would now be in better shape than Obama is speculation. Would HillaryCare The Sequel fare any better than ObamaCare in the Fox driven cesspool that passes for political debate? And without the votes on Election Day, how would she be stronger?

Me parece genial, y a la vez terrible, que algunas de las cosas que señalas se supone que sean un dado, algo que no deberíamos estar reclamando a estas alturas. La #14, por ejemplo, está recogida en la Constitución casi ad verbatim. Siglos más tarde aun hay que insistir en eso... What went wrong? Añade uno sobre los imperativos de procrear y formar familias tradicionales (sean a partir de matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo o no) y uno sobre la apatía al anti-intelectualismo y estamos gozando aun más. {n.b.--> Sé que hay uno sobre anti-intelectualismo. Quiero otro.} Por otro lado, mayhaps it's not *worse* never to belong to that which irks you ;-) Salud! Spot on.
