ToDaZeD WTF'nFF?!?

who hired these wastrel snakes?!?

This dork can barely fog a mirror.

[Reid] I’ve been one who does believe in our Constitution, separation of powers and one of the issues I have fought is to make sure the White House doesn’t continually take from us, our power.

Everyone should understand, this earmark issue is simply that - a way for the executive branch of government to steal power we’ve been granted in our Constitution.

We have a constitutional duty to do congressional directed spending; and I don’t want to give up that responsibility.

I can’t understand why some of the more conservative members here want to give up their power. I don’t understand that.

...

Now then, the little Constitution that we have doesn’t have a lot of information in it but what is in it is what runs this country and am convinced that I do not want to give up more power to the White House - whether it’s George Bush or Barack Obama.

And I’m going to fight as hard as I can against President Obama on these earmarks and my Republican colleagues who hate to vote for them but love to get them.

Scholar.  Searchlight style.

Hey Harry—you wanna jeep about the loss of POWAH from the Congress?  Take a little lookie-see into the Regulatory Agencies, the Czars, the Small Grey Bureaucracies y’all created while neglecting to install an off-switch.

Here’s what the “little Constitution that we have” says about your POWAH:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; . . .

Here’s another brain trust:

[Pelosi] “So here we are with a bill on one side of the ledger that benefits 155 million Americans. We have tax cuts for the middle class across the board. Everybody gets that tax cut. But in order for the middle class to get that tax cut, the Republicans insist that those who make the top 2 percent in our country, that they get an extra tax cut--adding billions of dollars to the deficit and not creating any jobs.

Lookie here, dumbarse:  there IS no “tax cut.” There is maintenance of the rate in effect for 10 years.  Just because you counted your chickens before they were even eggs doesn’t mean you can make an omelette out of US.  And those top 2 percent you’re so worried about?  They pay more than 40% of the Income taxes paid.  They’re your cash cow, you cow.  As for the jobs—go get a job from somebody who makes $17k/year.  As you’d know if you’d ever gotten a job from any source other than nepotism or cronyism.

“To add insult to injury, they have now added this estate tax provision. An estate tax provision, now mind you, the Democrats’ side of the ledge benefits 155 million Americans. In order for the President to get those terms accepted, the Republicans insisted that $23 billion in benefits go to 6,600 wealthiest families in America--6,600 families holding up tax cuts for 155 million Americans. Is that fair? Does that meet any test of fairness that we have? Again, this $23 billion not creating jobs. This $23 billion increasing the deficit by 8 percent in the next fiscal year.

Rly.  You really want to argue for a Wealth Tax?  For a tax that destroys family farms and family owned businesses?  Yanno—where 70% of JOBS are?  And you dare talk about “fair”?!?  Stupid Cow Meat Puppet.

“Think of what we could do with that $23 billion. We could triple our research in cancer and diabetes. I think that means something to all Americans, including those 6,600 wealthiest families. We could give a $7,000 raise to every public schoolteacher in America. We could create investing in new technology--780,000 jobs, 780,000 jobs. Nanny, please.  It is not attractive for a lady woman female of your age to reach under her skirt and whip numbers outta her arse.  srsly. knock it off. Instead we are giving a bonanza to 6,600 of the wealthiest people in America who really don’t need the help.

Think of what the people who created that wealth—and who own it—could do with it!  Re-start the American Economy, maybe?  Whence you derive your graft salary.  Yeah.  That.  “Giving”??  “Help”?!??  Whoinhell do you think you are?!??  Such a large ego really deserves a much bigger person.

“It’s just amazing to hear our colleagues on other side of the aisle talk about deficit reduction when everything on their side of the ledger increases the deficit and does not create jobs--tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent, most egregious of all the estate tax provision that they have that benefits not 1 percent, not one half of 1 percent but one quarter of 1 percent of the American people.
Nanny; why the hate?
