7. I do not want the supreme court to be overrun by wacko liberals. There will be appointments in the next 4 years, and next thing you know this country is going to be run by a group of crazed pro-environment socialists

Liberal wacko = pro-environment

So I take it you are anti-environment?

Clean Air and Clean Water is for socialist liberal pussies.

the whole global warming thing is just a socialist hoax, just ask Wayne. Those damn socialist environmentalists are going to ruin this country. Turn up that FreeBird and keep fighting the good fight.

You do realize that is happening BECAUSE of the GOP, right? The Dems approved an estate tax with permanently raised minimum levels to account for inflation but the Rebs voted it down. They wanted the old levels to return in 2011 so that it could be an issue again.

First of all, I was obviously having a little fun and yanking liberal chains with "reason to dislike Hillary" #7.

I recall the following proposal which I thought was far too lenient on the truly wealthy. Still, I would have preferred this plan to the possibility of reverting to previous levels, however small that possibility may be:shrug:


Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., had been brokering a compromise among Republicans and Democrats interested in paring down the tax and rewriting the quirky law that kills and resurrects the tax.

He proposed exempting the first $5 million of an individual's estate, or $10 million of a couple's, from taxation. The size of estates escaping the tax would increase each year to keep pace with inflation.

Estates between $5 million and $30 million would be taxed at rates equal to capital gains, and the remainder would be taxed at 30 percent.

''That is a fair way to help the people at the lower end of the spectrum and yet collect the revenue from those very, very wealthy estates that we all agree can pay part of this estate tax,'' Kyl said.

That effort attracted some of the senators who had been wary of repealing the tax but agreeable to shrinking its impact on heirs, but it did not attract enough Democrats who had expressed interest in negotiating a deal.

BTW, a repeal of this law is out of the question. I actually read that the repeal of this tax would allow the family of the former CEO of Exxon Mobil a tax break of $160mil and the families of GW Bush, Cheney and Bush's cabinet members $350 million combined :scared I wonder why the push for a repeal:shrug: :142smilie

I can't help but laugh when people on the right complain about Dems being "socialist". The most socialist thing that has occured in the country in recent history was the Republican congress making it illegal for Americans to wager online.

You guys just can't see it though. Afraid of some mysterious socialist democrat boogeyman, when it's actually happening right under your nose by YOUR party.

--Lets get this on record Smurph-- you laugh because majority look at undispuable facts of Dems parties constant theme of taking from the productive to compensate the non-productive-
--or the voting demographics of Dem party,as evidence they are socialist

--and counter with analogy-- republicans made it illegal to bet on line -therefore they are the socialist.

Only explaination I can conclude is--
there is still peyote out there in the deserts between vegas and southern cal :)

maybe somebody can explain something to me....

why don't people,who earn $20,000 a year, & have difficulty making ends meet take a 2nd job or 3rd job if need be ?

my father (my mother also worked) did it when i was a kid & when i was in college i had 3 jobs (waiter,cab driver,math tutor) to pay for tuition & other expenses....why can't other people do it ?

i just don't understand this mentality of feeling sorry for healthy people not earning enough money....

i would like to hear what i'm missing about this...

:D :thumb:

All that ice was just for my scotch on the rocks. Wait 'till it really gets hot, nutjob.


Interesting thread, exposing the true adolescent socialist self-haters. Gotta love it :00hour

That was a lot of scotch/ice. What that photo does not show is decline in thickness in the ice in places of over 20 ft. I guess you could say a bottle half full. Still ice for the scotch. Maybe not enough for other creatures. But something is strange.

Man, you guys are even starting to run out with STUPID names to call people...:rolleyes:

Where is Weasel, who should be in charge of appropriate right wing conservative name calling? I think all names should have to filter through him before being posted for some of you. Not only are his sometimes appropriate to any real subject, they are also sometimes funny. Many here, of late, are just plain stupid, which, of course, explains a lot about the content of some of the posts surrounding the frustrated name call attempts.

Carry on.

....so, you have no actual comment on Frist and the Republicans TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHT to wager online? Instead, you just roll out a gardenweasel-esque joke.

It seems they are mailing it in, much like their heroes in Washington at this point.
