Sorry but the current rates have already been raised in the original Bush plan which was adopted by Congress and will soon go into effect.What tax cut? Do you always parrot the party line? There are no tax cuts only extension of the current rates!
Do you have any evidence which demonstrates that voters were voting GOP because they wanted taxes cut on the top 2% or this just speculation on your part? I would be happy to read it and see some actual evidence supporting your claims.
Republicans campaigned on certain things - outright hate of Obama being the most obvious.
Some gave lip service to the debt and deficit.
It is the old bait and switch and the GOP are experts at it.
The tax rate has always been irrelevant in making business decisions. Demand is always the key.
True of False...Republicans were campaigning in part on extending the Bush Tax cuts for everyone?
Love your spin though with the "tax cut on the top 2%".
Funny, I don't remember a single solitary republican campaigning on "I hate Obama".
Translation: "I dislike republicans, so I belittle what they actually campaigned on and then make outrageous childish claims like the one I did before this"
Actually, its exactly what they campaigned on. Extending the Bush Tax cuts for everyone and rolling back government spending in part by reducing or stopping entitlements.
Generally speaking, I think it can probably be proven that the longer the benefits last, the longer the beneficiaries take to find gainful employment. I would bet a dollar to a donut that if the teat went dry the unemployment percentages would drop.
I know that I was reading something a while back about how one country, I'm wanting to say Norway, cut unemployment extensions and people went back to work much faster than they did when they had years and years of unemployment benefits. I'll try to find that link.
One thing for sure, it's just human nature to try and ride the cash cow when/if you can. A poor guy working all week just to bring home 500.00 bucks probably wouldn't mind taking a two year vacation, making only 150.00 bucks a week less than he would make busting his ass. Got no link for that but it's just common sense to me. I don't need a link to tell me it's raining outside.
I'm all for helping out a man down on his luck. But this is just freakin' rediculous.

The most important words in that sentence have been noted by me.

Republicans campaigned on certain things - outright hate of Obama being the most obvious. Some gave lip service to the debt and deficit. If they adopt a program of getting rid of hundreds of billions of dollars of revenue which is scheduled to go into the Treasury, and this only increases the deficit, they most certainly are NOT delivering on what they campaigned on. Just the opposite. It is the old bait and switch and the GOP are experts at it.
Correcct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it a Democrat, that shot the Obamacare Bill, with a gun?
one man as opposed to an entire party, media conglomerates and an outright two year campaign of "lets get the bastard".
So, it's not that Obama is the worst president this country has ever had, it's that we're all racists and haters and can't get past our prejudices, to see how wonderful he really is?
Generally we await the end of the game before pronouncing the final score.
The prejudices of those on the right who have announced their intent with Obama from Day One has been long established and unmistakable.

"Permanently Stop All Job-Killing
Tax Hikes
We will help the economy by permanently
stopping all tax increases, currently
scheduled to take effect January 1, 2011.
That means protecting middle-class
families, seniors worried about their
retirement, and the entrepreneurs and
family-owned small businesses on which
we depend to create jobs in America."
Stop the Tax Hikes: Permanently repeal all tax hikes, including those to the income, capital gains and death taxes, currently scheduled to begin in 2011. (53.38 percent)
If we’ve learned anything over the last two
years, it’s that we cannot spend our way to
prosperity. We offer a plan to stop out-ofcontrol
spending and reduce the size of
government.

That's just, "code", for, "we hate Obama becuse he's black". Don't you know that?
Any team that is losing at half-time and doesn't change it's game, will lose. I don't see Obama changing his game.
This clown insists that the American people aren't opposed to his policies and the real problem is that we just don't understand him.
I mean, we're talking about an administration that wants to strip search nuns, but is considering exempting Muslim women from any searches, at all. It's a ****ing joke!
That liberal argument is getting old, results matter not race and the results are what the November 2 elections were all about. The American people are sick of the race baiting and shirking of responsibility by Obama and all liberals.
Obama supporters that have nothing to run on always divert to race when they don't have anything they can defend.
Show me a single person who's been doing that?
Seems when you have nothing to add, you start adding that Liberals add race when they don't so you can make them look bad.
So basically you guys are the ones that add race.
Uh, no.
The tax cuts were set to expire, which is not the same thing as "raising" them, and it's exceptionally dishonest to say so.
from Harshaw
Perhaps reprinting the rest of my post will offer a more complete explanation that the cherry picked line you selected.
So liberals think 99 weeks of unemployment benefits - almost TWO YEARS - is justified?
If you can't find a job in two years, you aren't even trying in the least.

Zyphlin - certainly you do understand that the type of GOP press release you are pointing to does not reach the vast majority of actual voters and is only intended for the washington talkign heads and politico types like us here? That Pledge is irrelevant at best.
The polls have said that the election was a repudiation of Democrats and Obama. I suspect that is because the GOP did a wonderful job of putting an evil Halloween costume on both and selling that idea to their core base while much of the Obama base stayed home.
