You could just write "Democrats bend over" and submit it for every political issue from now until eternity.

Not news, indeed.

I wish I had the software and skills to insert 'Democrat cave in' in the above image.....

Whatt a bunch of spineless pussies.

Huuge mistake if they do, for any number of reasons.

Got damit.

No, really?

Farking embarrassing wimps.

and now the GOP wants to cut medicare benefits for seniors to pay for it. they seriously all need top hats, monocles and mustaches at this point.

Democrats Millionaires to bend over on the millionaires' tax

/fixed for clarity

Meatzilla: Barack Hussein Obama

I wonder, do you use Obama's full name in an effort to not-so-subtly remind everyone that he has a middle eastern second name and is therefor an "other" who is likely a terrorist?

I look forward to your posts about Willard Mitt Romney, Jon Meade Huntsman, Jr., and Ronald Ernest Paul.

/now I remember why I had you on ignore....

oh ffs.

Humean_Nature: Ronald Ernest Paul

Really? My god thats a fantastic politician name.

The article title and Subby's are misleading.

FTA: Democrats have made the proposed millionaires' tax central to their plan for the payroll tax cut extension, and officials stressed no decision had been made on whether to drop it. They spoke on condition of anonymity to talk about legislative strategy.

What I thought was interesting was the House's bill on the payroll tax extension where, instead of surtax on the wealthy, the Republicans want screw the middle class directly, even the elderly on Medicare.

FTA: Wednesday's maneuvering occurred the day after the House passed a payroll tax extension that contained no higher taxes. That House measure drew a veto threat from Obama that cited spending cuts the White House said would harm the middle class without requiring a sacrifice from the wealthy.

The bill would repeal nearly $43 billion from the year-old health care bill; extend a pay freeze on federal retirees while also increasing their pension contributions; and raise Medicare premiums on seniors with incomes over $80,000 beginning in 2017. It also would raise a fee that is charged to banks whose mortgages are guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

/Farkin' Republicans are really kissing the asses of the rich.

By the way, the freeze on federal retiree pay the House passed would impact military retirees too.

This is why military personnel should never, ever believe the Republicans are strong on defense. They just like to go to war with other peoples' kids.

Millionaire Democrats to bend over on the millionaires' tax

See Claude upthread.

Hopefully the Democrats do shut down the government and say precisely why they did. At least this one came up quickly and not with the months of talk about it before hand like the last one.

Meatzilla: pfffffffft

Much ado about nothing. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

President Barack Hussein Obama has already publicly stated that he'll simply disenfranchise the entire population of the United States of America via bypassing Congress and he'll do what he wants to (new window).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHA like that farker will ever stand up to anyone on ANYTHING. La Capitularde-en-chef has never taken a stand on anything and he's not about to start now.

Don't we have to pay for it? I mean, payroll tax cut, it has to be paid for!

Not so much this.

*headdesk*

Spineless cowards. all of them.

How about this as a medicare cost cutting idea -- anyone over the age of 80 only gets painkillers paid for by medicare. every other treatment, test, visit, etc that people over the age of 80 gets, they have to pay for through insurance or out of pocket. We'll pump them up full of painkillers to keep them from being in pain, but anything else, they're on their own. That'll cut some goddamned costs. i'll make that deal, if we can get an increase of 5% to the top marginal rate on incomes over 1 million dollars.

Here's another bargain -- we allow whole states to completely ban all abortions, and in return there's no more pre-emptive war or death penalty?

My favorite: President Obama personally executes a hippy on live TV (through strangling), and in return we end the war on drugs. If you want, he'll execute a new hippy on live TV every week.
