I’m still not a believer in tyranny of the majority.

The tyranny is not from the majority, rather from the socialists and their propagandist media who want a USSA. The majority believes what their TV tells them to believe, and the thoughts these propagandists put into their minds.I agree.

Starve the Beast.

That’s the battle, from here on out.

That’s because that was the position of the Republican candidate. The other guy……..?

Yes, winning, and with higher tax rates, anyway.

Most voters watched Obama on their favorite shows and continued to “like” him. Romney wouldn’t play that game, either.

And, we knew Romney (the tax and spend moderate that he is) would raise taxes on the rich, he just wasn’t bold enough to say it in a way the average voter would understand it. Those who understood were less enthusiastic to cast their votes for Romney. The choice, a real progressive or a fake conservative… What a country!

We lost because he was bold in the primaries and cowardly (except for the first debate) in the general.

Sure, most voters going to the polls were debating the effectiveness of Simpson-Bowles.

The media defined Mitt as no higher taxes ( read tax rates ) for the rich. That’s because that was the position of the Republican candidate. The other guy……..?

Yes, winning, and with higher tax rates, anyway.

And btw- Did Romney cave on taxing the rich ? No buddy, he held fast and hard on that one. Tax rates shall not be raised on the upper income brackets ! We can’t have that in this economy.

And as a result, lost a huge amount of votes, probably the election, protecting that absolute conservative position.

How’s that workin out for ya now?

Baloney. I just lost a long post linking to CNN. *Doh!* When will I learn?

Simpson-Bowles laid out a formula that shows that you can do just as I described. That you can bring down the rates, limit deductions and exemptions for people at the high end, and with additional growth that comes by virtue of the stimulative action you can reach a balanced budget. I will follow a model similar to Simpson-Bowles and work with Congress to identify which of the alternative methods we should apply to reduce deductions, benefits, and exemptions. Those reductions will occur for people at the high end. I have noted before my commitment to preserve tax preferences for middle-income taxpayers such as homeownership, charitable giving and health care.

Pretend that links back to a Fortune mag/CNN article.

If you get rid of the deductions and exemptions, you have raised taxes on “the rich.” Romney let Obama and the MSM define him. That caricature, true or not, lost. BTW~ Romney would say whatever he needed to get elected… Remember when the masked slipped and we first heard the words, Etch-a-Sketch? That was his own guy.

Romney really wanted to be president, or did he? Tadd (Skip? Biff?) said he didn’t. Romney it appears that Romney want to beat Republicans more than Democrats. Curious, huh?

Yup. Pathway to the Voting Booth pretty much sums up what is really happening.

i’ll never forget sharptons reaction to mitt romney’s nomination. he was ecstatic.
hopefully we’ve learned. bold colors really do work.not pastels.

Yeah, let’s prop up the importance of that savant Sharpton. He’s is so prominent. I’m sure he’s really worried about losing his African American base to conservative Republicans. Sure, that’s gonna happen. They should be concerned they’re only getting 96% of that demo.

Taken care of. That happens every now and then.

Don’t I know it. My posts are legendary for their typos (note the odd italicization in the post above).

Oh…about Obama’s Illegal Immigration push…My Take.

kingsjester on January 14, 2013 at 6:38 AM

Typo, Mr. Jester, if you can get in to fix it: “We are all immigrants in this land, expect for American Indians…”

Don’t know how easy it is to fix, but letting you know.

Thank you!

Judging from yesterday’s thread about Republicans, Joe has some fellow travelers…still.

Yes, I understand. :)

My ex liked chick flicks, but I never had to sit through any with her, fortunately! Our taste in music overlapped well, so that part worked out at least.
