Al, Well duh. "Tax cuts for the wealthy" That's the whole platform of the Republican National Party. No it isn't. That's also a phrase from the DNC. Republicans believe in tax cuts for everyone. But Obama is the one who's going out there and wanting to keep taxes where they are for the "98%." In other words, "tax the 2%." Don't tax me, tax the guy behind the tree. Unfortunately the second statement is really true otherwise we wouldn't have SS, Medicare, Obamacare, FLSA, labor laws, women's right to chose, voting rights legislation, etc...etc... Now you're just pulling slogans out of your ass. Let's just agree that taxes ought to be raised on everyone. You know, back to Clinton levels, except that we also ADD the ObamaCare taxes, which are once again on the so-called "2%." Government just grows and grows. If it doesn't, people like you whine and bitch about the other side wanting to kill SS and Medicare. Tenchusatsu

Democrat Jim Moran's Son Pleads Guilty to Fracturing Girlfriend's Skull Townhall.com ^ \| December 12, 2012 \| Katie Pavlich War. On. Women. Remember Patrick Moran? He's the son of Democratic Rep. Jim Moran and the guy who was caught on video earlier this year encouraging voter fraud while working for his father's re-election campaign. Today, he pleaded guilty in court for slamming his girlfriend's head into a metal trash can which fractured her skull. He's lucky he didn't take out her eye. As first reported by Washington City Paper, Patrick Moran and his girlfriend were arguing outside a bar on 14th Street on Dec. 1, when, according to a police report, an officer saw Moran "slam her head into the metal trash can cage." The report notes that Moran's girlfriend was "bleeding heavily from her nose and ... her nose and right eye were extremely swollen." She was transported to Howard University Hospital, and a medical technician told police her nose appeared to be broken and her right eye socket could be fractured. Moran was sentenced to 90 days in jail which was suspended by the judge, and one year of probation. If he violates his probation he will serve the 90 days. He must also enter a domestic violence intervention program, pay a $50 fine to a domestic violence program and complete 50 hours of community service. And what brilliant thing did Rep. Moran say in light of the incident? Rep. Moran told City Paper his son and his son's girlfriend are "good kids" in an "embarrassing situation." Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and now Patrick Moran. It never ends.
