1 RUN AWAY!!!!!!!

2 those evil rethulikkans are the party of no again it seems

3 Is there some profound disconnect from reality that one needs to have before being elected as a democrat?

I can understand their desire to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire. What I cannot understand is their inability to see the reality of the situation. I am at a loss. Happy too! But if they are this stupid...

4 Up or down votes and passing budgets are for the little guy another Congress.

5 By the way, we have all bought into the dem bullshit about these being "tax cuts." They aren't tax cuts; the rates will reset to the previous, higher rates because of inaction by Congress. They are voting for tax increases!

10 Not to worry, I'm will be Speaker after the election.

11 Adjourn? Uh, I thought we already had...

12 If I had my way, news organizations such as AoSHQ, who push these irrelevant stories, would be shut down then murdered, but I'm the president of the United States of America and I believe in the 1st Amendment and shit, so I can't have a hand in that actually happening.

Repealing the Bush tax "cuts" (which I believe actually increased total Federal tax receipts) will also have the effect of reinstating the marriage penalty.

If you add up all the taxes "rich" people pay -- income tax, capital gains tax, property tax, sales tax etc... It adds up to well over 50%... In many cases tax rates add up to as much as 60-70%.  And this isn't even the uber-rich.  This is the hard-working middle class "rich".   (Somehow the Warren Buffets and the Microsofters of the world get away with lower tax rates. Any wonder they are democrats?)

The democrats steal the nations wealth, and it all starts with their propaganda to stigmatize the "evil rich" and how they don't pay enough. 

Then, to add to the insult and the graft, the "evil rich" die, and the government will steals another 55% on assents that have already been taxed.  Often times forcing heirs to sell off the business to pay the tax.

Democrats are asshole and thieves.

23 During the recess I'll have time to check the markets, which I loved since I was a teenager.  This is super important because markets are a force in our economy an' shit.

Those special election seats get filled right away as noted above, which makes those particular elections even more important.  Once the lame duck session gets going, the defeated dems will pass ANYTHING put on their plate, because they will be desperate to get some sort of lobbying job, any crumbs at all from their democrat masters.

The lame duck session could possibly be worse than the last two years.  An awful lot of bad crammed into two months.

I know some Americans ARE stupid enough to take the word of Dims going home for campaigning that they are not going to raise taxes, but just how many actually ARE stupid enough to buy that line of BS??  (maybe 52%??)

47 Have those cockwipes broken the law by not passing a budget by now?  Other than identifying themselves as extremely irresponsible fucks unworthy of any elected office?  Every fucking one that voted to adjourn should be tossed.

The least you could do was say 'hi'.

49 Meanwhile, in the Senate DeMint is flexing his new "muscle". Look out squishies!

DeMint: The bill stops here

Senator vows heÂ’ll force all measures slated for unanimous passage to go through him first

50 Obummer will veto the tax cut extension. It is his raison d'etre. Hang on America, the voters are coming, we need to sweep in Nov, which we will, then sweep again in 12, which we will. THEN we can be back on track :0>

Just to make the story more juicy, the candidate whose name shall not be spoken denies actually creating the account.

{looks in direction of Joseph Cao}

There were 8 no-votes by Republicans.  The House website says it was Aderholt, Blunt, Buyer, Diaz-Balart, Fallin, Griffith, Schock, and Young (Florida).  I figure that Roy Blunt was out campaigning in Missouri for the Senate, but I don't know about the other 7.

64 When the going gets tough, the tough...

Get the Hell Out of Here!

65 Why did the f*cked chicken cross the road?
Because, at last, the House Dimmocrats stopped working it over.

"No-votes" meaning "abstentions" in this case, not a "no" vote.

67 What is the difference between a House Dem and a hooker?

The hooker will stop screwing you after you're dead.

since it's nominally a non-partisan position that represents the whole House

This is perhaps the funniest thing I've ever read, considering this congress.

69 What is the difference between roadkill and a House Dem? Roadkill will have skids marks preceeding it.

70

It's amazing that taxes are always framed in the notion that they cost the government money. There is never a thought given to cutting spending.

71

I must amend my list.

Five reasons [insert random GOP candidate's name] can win this November.

#1-5 Blah, blah, blah, blah...

#6 Obama

#7 Nancy Pelosi

#8 Harry Reid

I do not think a more toxic combination of arrogance, conceit, or fecklessness has ever existed.  They just screwed over their own members in the marginal races big time.  We'd better be prepared to lock the capitol down during the lame-duck session because they've just set themselves up for a big fall.  Did they even pass a budget?

Even in the race that dare not be named because of the AOStrife it would case will be carried because of those three.  November will be a slaughter, beyond slaughter... is there even a word for what's coming?

(Is there another, more extreme word for "bloodbath?"  Because that'll be the word..)

72 Criswell predicts: the Lame Duck Session will fail to extend the tax cuts.  Either the Senate Dems will manage to filibuster the extension of high-earner tax cuts, or Congress will manage to pass an extension of all of the tax cuts and President Obama will veto it.

Obama thinks that it's to his advantage to pressurize the Republicans by forcing them to explicitly propose tax cuts for the rich as part of a new tax cut package in 2011.  He is, of course, WRONG: the public sentiment for tax cuts overwhelms the public sentiment to deny the "rich" those tax cuts.

What do you call a 100-seat gain for the Republicans in the House?

A good start.

75 Actually, you know, this proves that Democrats will vote to lower taxes like they say. That's why they aren't staying to vote to lower taxes, because they want to lower taxes so much like they say--right?

76 I notice that idiot Phil Hare IL-17 who is in trouble went with Pelosi

Black vote!  It doesn't come out, Wilmington will win it for Pantano.  Most of these county's are BLACK.  Not sure of Fayettville precincts, but my bet, Black.  The coast has the GOP votes and the retirees and working whites could win this for Pantano.

Professional courtesy.

86 I was going to suggest Pb enemas for Congressional Democrats, but I see they are taking care of the problem themselves, much like the bank-robber who police reported was at-large "armed and suicidal."

87 79 Tax cuts DO NOT COST THE GOVT MONEY. TAX CUTS RAISE REVENUE.

Not always, but we are so far along the y-axis of the Laffer curve that increased taxed receipts are a side benefit of tax cuts.

I never liked the "tax cuts raise revenue" argument because the underlying premise that tax cuts are good only if the gov't needs more revenue for its myriad of programs.  I'd prefer to phrase the argument from a liberty standpoint.

88 85 Why did the hooker Chrissy Matthews give Obama a free handjob?

All this trouble with Dems could be fixed easily if we didn't have the type of electorate that elected this pussy President.

The dems aren't our big problem. It's that so many citizens can be enamored by an obvious pandering liar like Toonces. We have much bigger problems than a tax cut decision.

90 61 Fun fact: technically the Speaker doesn't even have to be a member of the House...reinstate Gingrich

So in a case like this where the Speaker actually did vote, will in the above example, would the Newt have a vote?

NO, you can not vote if you are not a member.  I also think the above post is Bull Shit.  No one would nominate a non member to be Speaker and I think it would be unconstitutional.  Remember the Speaker is THIRD in line for the presidency.

91 Yeah, this "vote" was a total set up and Bull Shit designed  for these weasels to say they  voted against Nancy.

92 This is all bullshit. There are no moderate democrats. They knew what the vote would be before it was taken. Just like the hell care bill. Fucking liars.

93 Adjourned!

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

94 Other Democrats didn't want a vote either because they want taxes to go up or they preferred to have the issue (Republicans want to cut taxes on the rich but not the middle class!).

The latter two groups won and now a lot of the former group are going to lose big time. On their behalf let me be the first to say, Thanks Nancy!

I think even this gives the "pro-tax cut" Dems too much credit.  It didn't just so happen that they lost that vote by one ballot, out of 419 votes cast and with 39 Democrat "rebels."  This was pretty clearly a whipped vote, with the maximum possible number of vulnerable Dems allowed to go back home and disingenuously claim "oh, I really tried, but the votes weren't there."

95 No budget passed eh?  I'm OK with shutting down the Federal government for a few months.

96 edit: closed italics early, second par. above should be italicized

97

Hm, looking at the list dagney provided I see that Marshall (GA- was allowed to vote against this.  Looking at a DCCC *spit* poll they released just recently:

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee today released a new Grove Insight poll that shows Representative Jim Marshall leading Republican challenger Austin Scott by 12 points.

In the initial head-to-head in the race for GeorgiaÂ’s 8th congressional district, Marshall leads Scott 48 to 36 percent.  Conducted September 13-15, the poll surveyed 400 likely voters and has a 4.9 percent margin of error.

Which in a heavily weighted poll showing the incumbent below 50%.  I guess we can safely assume this to be a neck-and-neck race.

(Political genocide..., mh, too wordy, got to try one of the others...)

98

There are NO moderate democrats. It's all just talk. When it's crunch time, they go liberal.

They will talk about extending the Bush Tax Cuts, but they will never, ever, ever do it. Ever.

That's fine but I was responding to the idea that the dems are putting out: we have a deficit and who is going to PAY for the tax cuts. (blah blah two wars, etc). And we are definately past the peak of the curve.

106 Chet Edwards has been a 2-faced lying Dem since the 90's.  At home he talks like DeMint, but in DC he votes like Pelousy.  Maybe this year the idiots in that district finally got cable/internet and checked his voting record vs. his campaign words.

107

They are running on "If you don't re-elect us, we won't vote to extend the Bush tax cuts in the lame duck session."
