re: #99 rwmofo

I would say “nice try” except you showed what I said then twisted it around to say something entirely different. Fail on your part.

“…you demand that the top 5% can’t be taxed any more than they currently are even when the public supports the idea…”

Again, quoting my words: “The vote was 277-148, with each party contributing an almost identical number of votes in favor (the Democrats, 139 and the Republicans, 138). Like it or not, you have a problem with 139 Democrats.

One more time for emphasis: Reid can bring the First Responders’ bill to the floor today. The Republican filibuster threat was removed with the passage of the tax bill. Action: Reid.

Sparring with lefties is entertaining and easy, but you don’t make it the least bit challenging.

The republicans said that they would filibuster everything until their bill as passed.

They never said they would stop filibustering things once it was.

Also as for you both parties voted for it thing, that’s because they were voting on a bill that had a lot of stuff that people from different parties could accept.

The GOP however voted damn near unamiously in the house and unamiously in the senate that they would rather have everyone’s taxes go up than let 95% of us avoid a tax hike and the rich have to pay 3% of their income above 250K while still getting a break on the amount they make below it.
