I don't wanna get all "Thelma and Louise", but I am totally ready to take a ride over this made-up fake-ass fiscal cliff. As Michael Moore observes, this is just a ruse pure and simple to scare middle-class people into wanting to support tax breaks for the super rich. Let's ride it right over the cliff. The tax breaks end for everybody. Then at the beginning of 2013 introduce legislation to extend the breaks for the middle class. I dare the Republicans to defy it.
Why? Because in 2012 Barrack Obama got the highest percentage of the vote since Lyndon Johnson. Barrack Obama got the most votes for any Democratic President in the history of the United States and he was the only one to receive more votes than were gotten by Barrack Obama in 2008! Barrack Obama was the first President to get more than 50% of the vote twice in a row since Franklin Roosevelt.
I hope the President does not back down. No matter how much macho posturing the Republicans do, Obama has them firmly by the balls. I hope he doesn't get into his tendency to be a great compromiser. He doesn't need to be. He's running this now.
John Baughner can be worked with. Mitch McConnell is a moron that needs to go. Just as the Republican party focused all their attention on making Obama a one term President, the Democrats now need to focus on getting Mitch McConnell defeated. For the good of America.
Stay the course President Obama. Do what you were elected to do, and want to do. Hold out... let them blink first. Be their huckleberry. You are going to win this one. Please, take advantage of the Republicans while we have the chance. They are currently running amok trying to figure out why a perfect 1959 campaign in 2012 didn't work.
Hey, Republicans. Keep hating gays. Keep hating legitimate immigration. Keep with your "we don't support...", "we don't support...". Because it wins us elections. What the heck do you support? Stop being negative, and tell us what you're about. Oh, but you can't. Because you're all about yourselves and your big supporters.
My friend has dubbed this "Whitey's Last Stand." Is he wrong? I think not. But let's encourage Congress to vote with him. And if they don't, if the Republicans still can't see the writing on the wall, let's send our voter version of Vince Vega and Jules [see 'Pulp Fiction'] to call on them in 2014. "I said: Do [we] LOOK LIKE A BITCH??!!!" "Say 'what?' again,...I dare you."
