发帖数: 865 | 41 We can discuss whos' tax need to be cut. I know we have different thought.
Another thing is that now we all agree that DEM want tax cut for middle
class and REP want tax cut for people with income > $250K.
This is exactly what I want to say. The difference between DEM and REP is
not whether to cut tax or not, is whose tax to cut. For REP, tax cut for
rich people is absolute fine (because this will create jobs) but tax cut for
middle class is too expensive (because we are near bankruptcy).

发帖数: 2273 | 42 Washington (CNN) -- Congress showed little sign Tuesday of resolving its
partisan standoff over the payroll tax-cut extension as the Republican-
controlled House of Representatives refused to hold a vote on a Senate
proposal, and leaders in the Democratic-controlled Senate insisted they won'
t go along with a new House plan.
As the clock ticked down, nobody appeared willing to bend and neither side
seemed to know how to break the logjam.
The Senate voted 89-10 in favor of a two-month tax-cut ext... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 2273 | 43 Washington (CNN) -- The congressional impasse over extending the payroll tax
cut became a showdown Tuesday between President Barack Obama and House
Speaker John Boehner.
After the Republican-controlled House passed a measure calling for more
negotiations, Boehner made public a letter to Obama that urged him to order
the Senate back from its holiday break to take part in further talks.
Leaders in the Democratic-controlled Senate reject that idea, and Obama
agreed with them, telling reporters in a... 阅读全帖 |

Republicans
March 20, 2012 | Posted by Warner Todd Huston
If you want an example of why Democrats are truly a party of criminals, you
have but to look to Chicago for your examples and not just because Chicago
has one of the highest rates of Democrat pols being convicted of crimes.
This particular election, Chicago Democrats are actually urging voters to
vote for a state rep. that was just this month arrested and charged with

After largely striking out on efforts to paint Rep. Paul Ryan as some sort
of extremist, the left – in the form of the Huffington Post – has turned
their sights on his wife, Janna Ryan. What is it that is so shady in her
background? It turns out that ten years ago she was a lobbyist who worked
for Pricewaterhouse Coopers and Williams & Jensen.
WASHINGTON — Janna Ryan was introduced to America on Saturday as a stay
-at-home mom who has raised three children while her husband,... 阅读全帖 |

Undaunted by Mother Nature, Republicans are set to descend on Florida as
Mitt Romney's team works to cram four days of events into three after the
threat of Tropical Storm Isaac forced the soon-to-be nominee to cut short
his national convention.
Officials say they hope to begin laying out a revised schedule on Sunday.
As aides in Tampa scramble, Romney is taking a rare day off the campaign
trail at his lakeside vacation home in New Hampshire, receiving updates on

(CNSNews.com) – When it comes to foreign policy portions of Thursday night
’s debate, both Vice President Joe Biden and Republican challenger Rep.
Paul Ryan made assertions that were not strictly accurate. Among them:
IRAN
Biden: “Iran is more isolated today than when we took office. It was on the
ascendancy when we took office. It is totally isolated.”
