#2 With over 50% (as some estimates provide) of "Americans" paying NO income taxes at all, please explain if you will the term...... "fair share" as it applies to the "rich" or to anyone else for that matter.

#3 They are half way right. We are going over a fiscal cliff. Where they err is that no tax raise will change it. Dems can and will always spend more than the government takes in.

Frankly, the Dems make no sense to me on this score. Why not let Republicans cut spending? Eventually the Dems will get into power again, and then they'll get to spend it all over again. I'd personally have a great deal more fun spending it all afresh.

#6 That threat right there proves they aren't fit to lead a piss brigade and should be run out of town on a rail, if not arrested outright for treason.

#7 Go over the fiscal cliff? Seems to me they already have gone over the fiscal cliff. What was that analogy Obama used about driving the car in the ditch? He has driven the car into the ditch, banged into a telephone pole, careened off the pole, hit a bridge abutment, bounced into an 18 wheeler and pushed onto a railroad track and then hit by a train. Must have been with the Choom Gang prior to driving into the ditch.

#8 So, if the GOP goes along and raises taxes how does that not take us over the 'fiscal cliff' even faster? Idiots. Utter. fucking. idiots.

#10 Ok, let me get this right. If Champ wins - the fiscal wall stuff happens again right after the election. If Mittens wins, Champ is lame duck pres and wall still has to be dealt with. World economic result looks like last August all over again. Looking for some leadership from the leader of the world (and I mean that with all respect). This doesnt play well at all.
