I didn't vote for Grover Norquist. Did you? Repeal all the Bush tax cuts. Problem solved.

This is one of hundreds of comments out on the New York Times website: “Senate Democrats have defied the will of the American people who overwhelmingly support real spending cuts, caps on future spending and a balanced budget to create a better environment for private-sector job growth,” Mr. Boehner said." I'd actually begun to respect Boehner, especially given his history of collaboration and friendship with Teddy Kennedy. But this statement proves he's nothing but another party hack. Did the people ask for historically low tax rates for the wealthiest and a simultaneous gutting of Medicare? Did the people ask for an endless war in Iraq that puts young Americans' lives on the line while bankrupting us, to benefit oil interests? Did the people ask to be repeatedly lied to, to have idiots in Congress willing to take us over a cliff because of their fanatical ideology? Republicans have been defying the will of a vast portion of our citizenry for a long time, and many of their supporters are only believers because they've been duped. If Mr. Boehner and his colleagues cared an iota about the American people, he'd haul out his history flash cards, look at tax rates against high employment and a booming economy (hint, it wasn't when tax rates on the richest were the lowest), and stop playing us for fools while he appeases the Koch brothers.
