Reid: I don’t understand
Boehner’s brain

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Alexander Bolton

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/29/2012 3:31:36 PM

Democrats and Republicans are so far off in their expectations for the next steps of fiscal talks that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) claimed he cannot understand the Republican Speaker’s brain. Senate Democratic leaders are growing frustrated by what they say is the lack of a specific plan from House Republicans to raise tax revenues or cut entitlement spending. Democrats say the onus is on Republicans to provide a counteroffer to their plan to let the Bush-era tax rates on families earning above $250,000 expire. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has told reporters the ball

Comments:
There´s no irony in that statement. s/o Hey Dingy Harry, instead of running around making asinine statements how about passing a budget and 0bama putting something in writing?

I hope the Repugs do not lose the game on who is responsible for the economy.

Let the Dimms raise taxes on the "rich", but draw a line in the sand on deficit spending. The DImms have no moral foundation for their spending habits and this will be seen by the MSN and the electorate.

That´s because a brain is a foreign thing to you, Harry.
How about the Republicans propose a tax cut..something along the line of 10% for the middle class? How about that, Harry? You ARE for the middle class, right?

I´m torn between letting them have everything they want or simply walking away until they make an offer.

I don´t care about the ´cliff´ ...

... go ahead and jump.

Just make sure the onus is on them when you do.

We´ll have two years to get our candidates ready to win.

And those two years will be Hell for everyone ...

... including those on the left.

Jump!

I think it was the nation´s great loss that Romney did not win, but what was he thinking meeting with Obama today? A photo will be released making Obama look ´bipartisan,´ all the while he is a sheer failure as a leader in these budget negotiations (as in so many other areas.)

Obama has been beating to death the rich don´t pay their fair share baloney. How about a proposal that only the rich foot the bill for the governments taxes, only? Obama and his ilk would probably have a conniption at such a proposal, as they always depended on the ordinary sheeple workers to foot the majority of their tax revenues. Obama´s War on the Rich would certainly implode with such a proposition?

#1, I am upset with the professional politicians who the voters put into office over and over again, but I really find it objectionable when someone here slanders my entire party by calling them something that the leftists or democrats would call them out of sheer nastiness. That said, the Republican Party is the people, the citizens, NOT the professional pols who don´t represent us like they should.

House should pass a bill providing 10% tax cut to the middle class with a 70% tax rate for anyone making a million dollars or more involved in the movie making industry. When the democratic senate votes it down, pass another bill wiht a 20% tax cut to the middle class with a 80% tax rate for anyone making a million dollars or more involved in the movie making industry. When the democratic senate votes that down pass another bill that provides a 30% tax cut for the middle class.....you get the idea.

If the House GOP doesn´t get a good deal with cuts NOW - then they should call Obama´s bluff and let ALL the Bush Tax Cuts expire. After the New Year they can bargain for tax reform NOT restoring the Bush cuts for the middle class.

Obama owns this economy and he owns he presidency´s leadership role. The pubbies have plenty of time to make thier case before NOv 2014.

The dems demand a detailed and complete grand plan that simultaneously raises revenue 10 fold and supports entitlement spending with a proven deficit reduction plan covering the next decade. Anything short of this is considered derelection of duty and obstructionism.

The left requires this monumental and detailed master fiannacial plan to counter their three word bumper sticker solution to all our financial woes:

"Tax the Rich".

Hint to the dems, leadership is not demanding your opponent provide reams of detaisl and a complete solution while you chant worn out campaign slogans.

How about we see a Democrat plan with one thousandth the detail they are demanding of the republicans? Or is that asking too much?

Its soooo much easier to simply chant "tax the evil rich".

The GOP plan is simple - continue the Bush tax cuts. Even Harry Reid can understand that.

Harry´s wholly owned democrat-marxist senate has not produced a budget in over three years and he does not understand Boehner´s brain. If we only had a Press in this country to tie Harry down on the corruption he has created in the senate many problems would start to subside. Ain´t gonna happen. Train wreck is ON TIME, America´s producers tighten seat belts were going over that cliff !!!

Enough. No further talks on revenues, fiscal cliff or otherwise until we see a concrete proposal from the Dems for real and immediate spending cuts. It seems it won´t come from the President (of course), but are there ANY adults to talk to on the other side?

Hey Harry cut spending and forget about raising taxes...it is a dumb idea. Just like every other normal person or family, it is past time for th US Government to balance the checkbook. Fiscal cliff hog wash, you all want to raise taxes so that you can continue this insane spending spree!

They´ve had three specific plans. The two Ryan budgets and the Cut, Cap and Balance budget.

Dust those off, put them in a bronze binder and beat the snot out of Reid with ´em.

"Thank God" an exhausted elderly woman who survived the devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma exclaimed as her beloved dog emerged from the rubble of her house - live on camera. CBS News was interviewing Barbara Garcia shortly after a massive tornado demolished her house with her and her dog inside. She was in the middle of telling reporter Anna Werner about how she survived the storm, but she couldn´t find her dog - until he miraculously appeared in the debris right behind her.

After IRS, Benghazi scandals,
public trust shifts to GOP

The Democratic Party´s edge over the GOP on who the public trusts more on ethics and corruption issues has flipped in the wake of the IRS and Benghazi scandals, according to Rasmussen Reports. Not only do voters trust Republicans more now, they have their highest level of confidence in the GOP and the lowest level in Democrats in seven months. While the Democrats had an eight-point "trust advantage" over Republicans a month ago, Rasmussen´s latest poll said that edge has disappeared and now the GOP has a two-point advantage.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told the Senate Banking Committee Tuesday the IRS has to be "beyond politics," and he warned that the "cure could be worse than the disease" if that line is crossed in the attempt to fix the agency´s problems. "The thing I will not do -- I will not cross that line into the administration of the tax system, because the cure could be worse than the disease. We need to make sure there´s no political involvement in the administration of the tax system," Lew said. And while the treasury secretary is responsible for

Danger. Danger. Al Qaeda’s Syrian wing also known as “rebels” bent on overthrowing Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad (mirroring the Saudi, the Obama administration and Republican Senator John McCain’s position), have taken over the oilfields that once belonged to Assad. If that wasn’t bad enough it gets worse. We are a hair trigger away from World War III. Reportedly Assad is preparing missile strikes against Tel Aviv if Syria is attacked again. Meanwhile, back in Obama’s America, don’t call Libya’s weapon recovery program “buyback” that then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton funded using $40 million of your tax dollars

The current scene doesn´t look so great. We´ve got the Benghazi scandal, which Bob Woodward has compared to Watergate, we´ve got the IRS scandal, where Democratic members of Congress are saying the IRS director lied, we´ve got the FBI AP-snooping scandal, we´ve got the HHS "private donation" shakedown scandal, and, of course, there´s the still-unfolding Pigford scandal that has funneled billions to grifters.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

In Tuesday´s Senate hearings into the ever-widening IRS scandal, outgoing IRS chief, Steve Miller, acknowledged that the planted question that broke the story last week was his idea. The "planted question" refers to the way in which the IRS chose to release the findings of the Inspector General´s report a week ago Friday. It was an unusual way to deliver bad news, even in a town known for its selective leaks, Friday-night news dumps and wag-the-dog distractions. The Internal Revenue Service, apparently determined to get out ahead of an inspector general report critical of its handling of tax exemptions

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
