    nonpartisanliberal commented on the blog post Dems Start Negotiating Against Themselves on Bush Tax Cuts

    That’s because the Democrats get their money from the same big donors as do the Republicans.

    Good point about Hillary. She actually was a registered Republican in her youth.

    It makes sense to extend the tax cuts for the middle and lower classes while the economy is still in recovery, but letting the tax cuts for those at the top expire won’t have any detrimental effect. The capital gains rate ought to go back to 20% also.

    Pelosi has learned he negotiating skills from Obama.

    Politics 101: It’s not important to be right, but it is important to be wrong for the right reasons.

    Sorry, but that is extremely unlikely. People who flee only turn aggressive if they are cornered.

    I agree. And when does asking “Why are you following me?” become confused with a physical attack? How could Martin sneak up on Zimmerman when Zimmerman was trying to constantly monitor Martin’s location? “These **** always get away!” Zimmerman was going to make sure Martin didn’t get away. It seems very likely to me that [...]

    What was Martin doing that was so suspicious? Walking while being black?

    He was stalked. He tried to get away and Zimmerman went after him. That’s stalking.

    Americans think they are free just because they have longer leashes than people in most other countries. The story above is an example of the leash getting pulled.

    You can’t prove it, but why would Martin go out of his way to confront Zimmerman after running to lose Zimmerman?

    One possibility is that Zimmerman (who outweighed Martin) had Martin pinned to the ground and was kneeling atop him when he pulled his gun from his waistband. Martin then began screaming hysterically. Zimmerman pointed the gun straight to Martin’s chest at close range and then murdered him. It may be that at one time Martin [...]

    I seriously doubt that Obama gave in or caved. He got what he wanted with political cover. “The devil made me do it!”

    So Trayvon Martin had no right to defend himself? Look, if you start a fight with someone who IS MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS and you get your ass kicked, you have no right to shoot him after he tries to leave. Martin felt threatened. Zimmerman was hostile. When you approach someone in an accusatory and hostile manner, you are going to provoke a defensive reaction.

    Zimmerman shot from a distance. That is how he got two shots off against a screaming Martin. Otherwise, Martin could have fought for the gun.

    You are a racist. If your intention is to convince the people here that conservatives have shit for brains, then you are doing a laudable job.

    Which is worse — the fact that some cretin came up with this idea, or the people who rushed to buy it?

    Cretin? That guy is thriving in a tough economy.

    It’s not nice to disparage the poor victims of cretinism.

    There is plenty of money to be made from indulging the stupid. Just ask Sarah Palin.

    It’s an extraordinary story of cruelty. It’s a peak inside Romney’s soul.

    2012-05-09 15:14:36View | Delete

    Obama has simply made the political calculation that it benefits him more than harms him to now support marriage equality. The good news is that the general public has already moved in that direction–the retrograde social conservatives being the exceptions.
