In this case, the hostage was the American people, and I was not willing to see them get harmed."
That explanation was terrorist enough for me. And I call for Mitch McConnell, John Kyl and John Boehner to all go "jump in the lake."

Swing and a miss! Some sites prevent people from "hotlinking" directly to their content. You'll have to find the image elsewhere or upload it to a site like http://imgur.com

And that's assuming one wants to reconcile. Personally, I don't want to "reach across the aisle" or "work towards bipartisanship". I want a true conservative government.

I have absolutely no use for liberals or liberalism.

But that's just me.

Absolutely gentlemen. We (taxpayers) aren't saving anything; we're just getting a reprieve from having to pay more.

My mom always paid like $1 for Unemployment Insurance. This last time around she paid $900.

I hope the Estate Tax goes away and never, ever, ever comes back. Almost nothing infuriates me more than the Estate Tax, and I'm 99% sure I'll never even have to worry about it. MOTHER FUCKERS! That is all.

"The easiest way to create jobs, and keep jobs, is to make sure the unemployed continue to have money to spend"

I'm pretty sure that is the polar opposite of everything I've ever learned about economics and basic personal finance.

My opinion on this is that Obama backed the extension of the "Bush-era tax cuts" to everyone after working a quid pro quo deal with the Repub's where the Repub's had to support a pet of Obama's - perhaps the DREAM Act?
