Over $250k gets another 5% tax. OK, thats most of this town. Ouch. But then they add in... "Fund managers would also see their partnership profits taxed at ordinary income rates, rather than the lower capital gains rate, under Mr. Obama's proposals. " Hedge funds, private equity funds... your taxes just doubled. Enjoy!
wow, not surprising... I answer widestance's questions, and he ducks all of mine.
I told you.... passing the buck.
nothing, zero response to the questions, nada.
And where is my 100 bucks?
> Widestance is petrfitz
Well, make sense. I did instantly peg him as a moron.
Same moron who thinks the republicans have ruled congress for the last 8 years.
putz.
"Republicans are comprised of either racists and/or idiots, becuase if they were smart or not a bigot they would be Democrats. "
Yes, thats part of the "democratic party propaganda for idiots" they issue all the morons in Manhattan.
"You can also look up Henry Cisneros and Barney Frank.."
wa wa wa waaaaaaaah....
"What party had the White House and Congress when the World Trade Center was attacked in 1993? Who was the commander in chief when our embassies were blown up and the USS Cole was bombed? Who has held power in Congress for almost four years now?"
Perfitz is already avoiding the questions. Maybe he knows he's as stupid as we think he is.
> Man you republicans do everything you can to run from your record
(coming from the guy passing the buck)
Still avoiding the questions.... ha... we knew you were a moron.
> Well that depends on the party affiliation of who wrote the history book.
true.
Also of note, the economic growth credited to clinton actually started in the (first) bush years. And the 9/11 attributed to bush 2 actually started with Clinton.
Anyone who doesn't think both sides are morons is... a moron.
Dems, be proud of your party!

"He's been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities,... and these people are extremely grateful." - Democratic Senator Patty Murray on Osama bin Laden
"Outside of the killings, we have one of the lowest crime rates in the country." - Marion Barry, mayor of Washington, D.C.

"I'm not a chauvinist, obviously...I believe in women's rights for every woman but my own." - Chicago Mayor Harold Washington
and somebody has to have a good John Edwards line...
somewhereelse - Democrats were in office in the 1993 attack. All the attackers were found and brought to justice in a constitutional court.
Dude face it. Your party just put together the biggest shit show our country has ever seen and all you are doing is trying to run from your record.
John McCain - the fundamentals of the american economy are just fine.,..Sarah Palin is qualified to be President of the United States........
Let's see you had Democrats in Congress pushing for lowered lending standards in the name of making homes affordable and you had a Republican at the Fed(Greenspan) who didn't believe in regulating lending standard, and you had a country of Republican and Democrats borrowing more than it earned from the Chinese who had all our money and nothing they could buy with it. I'm sure I've left out many players...

Again, Democrats think that if Republicans are either lacking in compassion, racist or stupid.
Faced with an affilated person that is none of the above , they go crazy and can't explain it.
"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01
"I want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"
- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI
"...Secondly, he is not escaping us. This is a guy, who, three months ago, was in control of a county [sic]. Now he's maybe in control of a cave. He's on the run. Listen, a while ago I said to the American people, our objective is more than bin Laden. But one of the things for certain is we're going to get him running and keep him running, and bring him to justice. And that's what's happening. He's on the run, if he's running at all. So we don't know whether he's in cave with the door shut, or a cave with the door open -- we just don't know...."
- Bush, in remarks in a Press Availablity with the Press Travel Pool,
The Prairie Chapel Ranch, Crawford TX, 12/28/01, as reported on
official White House site
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)
WideStance, wow, STILL HASN'T ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS. I love it!
And his only response to evidence of Democratic morons, is pointing at Republican morons.
Just proving me right... As I said, Dems are morons, too, and Perfitz/Widestance is just another moron to prove it!
"Let's see you had Democrats in Congress pushing for lowered lending standards in the name of making homes affordable and you had a Republican at the Fed(Greenspan) "
appointment by a.... Democrat... and then egged on by Barney Frank, a Democrat. And supposedly regulated by Chris Dodd, a Democrat, who took payoffs from the mortgage companies.
"Again, Democrats think that if Republicans are either lacking in compassion, racist or stupid.
Faced with an affilated person that is none of the above , they go crazy and can't explain it."
Exactly. When its not in the "Democratic Propaganda Manual for Dummies", perfitz/widestance just tears his hair out.
I love how he thinks he is any different than the monkey that was taught to repeat "democrats just want to kill your babies" over and over.
But, if the Democrats court morons like him, they deserve him.
(and same goes for republicans)
I think we should just paste Perfitz quotes.
That would actually be the most embarassing thing for the Democratic Party.
Honestly , it's like Rachel Maddow & Keith Olbermann are on Easy Street.
Wasn't Clinton in office during the tech bubble and burst? He came into office with the economy already on the upswing and he left office with the economy in recession.
Wasn't it Clinton who had Osama dead to rights and he failed to give the order to take him out?
FNMA and FHLMC guaranteed huge amounts of securities backed by subprime loans, with the most support for this practice coming from Democrats. This contributed to the financial meltdown.
Perfitz isn't sure... all those big words are confusing him.

she has to know, she looks kind of fatty to me, but not as much as her gun instructor:

> Anyone who doesn't think both sides are morons is... a moron.
agree somewhereelse. also lately, i've been realizing that in USA politicians don't delegate. "fast food and politics" in USA is what "Bread and circuses" used to be in ancient Rome.
Agree too. Both sides are more interested in blaming the other than solving the problem.
Both sides *are* the problem.
More importantly has anyone tried Red Santenay?
"Again, Democrats think that if Republicans are either lacking in compassion, racist or stupid."
Well, if comparing the first black first lady to a gorilla or mass e-mailing a photoshopped picture of the White House lawn covered with watermelons ( http://blogs.suntimes.com/mitchell/watermelon_white_house.jpg ) is not racist, I don't know what is.
nobody should be allowed to be anti-watermelon in a country in which fatness is going rampant imho.
notadmin, very true. watermelon for all.
but i have a small issue with the tone of this thread. i'll agree that there is very little differentiation amongst out parties in terms of economics (or how to kiss the banks' asses). but i think there is quite a bit of difference in terms of who gets judicial seats, our general social policies, etc. (gay marriage, for example)
"Well, if comparing the first black first lady to a gorilla or mass e-mailing a photoshopped picture of the White House lawn covered with watermelons"
Uh, is someone from the party of "Hymietown" REALLY trying to say thats just the Republicans doing that?
Seriously!?@?!?
You have to be pretty stupid to think that one party has the moral edge over the other... (and completely ignorant of history)
"but i think there is quite a bit of difference in terms of who gets judicial seats, our general social policies, etc. (gay marriage, for example)"
Not if you know the facts.
Know who let the opposition to gay marriage in New York State, and derailed it? Ruben Diaz, Jr... Democrat.
I think its most dangerous when the folks think the ones on there side aren't either...
And its really sad if thats the reason you're voting for Democrats...
The Civil Rights Act of 1964, which supposedly established the Democrats’ bona fides on race, was passed in spite of the Democrats rather than because of them. Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen pushed the bill through the Senate, despite the no-votes of 21 Democrats, including Gore Sr. and Robert Byrd, who remains a powerful force in the Senate today. In contrast, only four Republicans opposed the bill, mostly like Barry Goldwater on libertarian principles, not segregationist ones
and lets not forget the pro-history slavery of the Democratic Party...
While Thomas Jefferson, the founder of what evolved into the Democratic Party, had argued that slavery was bad not only for the slave but also for the slave owner, John C. Calhoun, had turned this principle on its head: slavery was good not only for the slave holder, but also for the slave.
Calhoun’s fundamental enterprise was to defend the institution of slavery. To do so, he first had to overturn the principles of the American Founding. He started with the Declaration of Independence, arguing that "[the proposition ’all men are created equal’] as now understood, has become the most false and dangerous of all political errors....We now begin to experience the danger of admitting so great an error to have a place in the declaration of independence." Thus Calhoun transformed the Democratic Party of Jefferson into the Party of Slavery.
The most liberal position among ante-bellum Democrats regarding slavery was that slavery was an issue that should be decided by popular vote. For example, Stephen Douglas, Lincoln’s opponent in the 1858 Illinois senate race and the 1860 presidential campaign, advocated "popular sovereignty." He defended the right of the people in the territories to outlaw slavery, but also defended the right of Southerners to own slaves and transport them to the new territories.
The Democratic Party’s war against African-Americans continued after the Civil War (which many Democrats in fact opposed, often working actively to undercut the Union war effort). Democrats, both north and south fought the attempt to implement the equality for African-Americans gained at such a high cost. This opposition was often violent. Indeed, the Ku Klux Klan operated as the de facto terrorist arm of the national Democratic Party during Reconstruction.
Democrats defeated Reconstruction in the end and on its ruins created Jim Crow. Democratic liberalism did not extend to issue of race. Woodrow Wilson was the quintessential "liberal racist," a species of Democrat that later included the likes of William Fulbright of Arkansas, Sam Ervin of North Carolina, and Albert Gore, father of Al, of Tennessee.
In the 1920s, the Republican Party platform routinely called for anti-lynching legislation. The Democrats rejected such calls in their own platforms. When FDR forged the New Deal, he was able to pry Blacks away from their traditional attachment to the Party of Lincoln. But they remained in their dependent status, Democrats by virtue of political expediency, not principle.
As the incomparable Ann Coulter has observed, when Strom Thurmond, the praise of whom landed Sen. Lott in hot water, ran a segregationist campaign in 1948, he ran as a Dixie-CRAT, not a Dixie-CAN. When he lost, he went back to being a Democrat. He only repudiated his segregationist views when he later became a Republican
swe, really. just really. what a sad lack of analysis.
but i hear the tea whatever party is starting off with a palin bang. maybe you're muse is calling?
