flopper, have you checked out the consequences of a permanent repeal of the estate tax? Did you know that a permanent repeal benefits the super rich at the expense of the merely rich? Check out the article in Newsweek.

From MSNBC: Who’s the real flip-flopper? Republican congressional leaders are having fun these days portraying Democrats as “cut-and-run” wimps on Iraq, but come November they could be very sorry. In last week’s House war debate — and in the Senate this week — Capitol Hill GOPers are sacrificing any chance of putting some daylight between themselves and President Bush’s unyielding and unpopular war footing. The bright line for voters out of these debates is a clear image of Republicans as rubber stamps for a “stay the course” policy that now strikes most Americans as “stay the curse.” While Democrats who once supported the war come across as flip-floppers, at least the voters will see them as struggling to find a way out of Iraq with some dignity — an approach that is much closer to the mainstream. Indeed, blindly obedient Republicans now lining up to give Bush a blank check to dismiss the polls and bore full-speed-ahead in Iraq risk the prospect of looking like the bigger wimps. And if we endure another few months of mostly tragic news from Iraq, by the fall they’ll be forced to backpedal away from the president to save their jobs — and that will make them the flip-floppers on Election Day.
