Are these idiots for real?! All this means is my accountant will adust my income to $249K and I will make the difference up in other ways. Wonderful liberal policy. Let people go to school, work hard and give a third of what they make to others who have gone down a different path. What incentive is this for anyone to try and succeed; when they know all they have to do is stick their hand out and it will be filled. Biden is an idiot. This "is the patriotic thing to do." Do they really think the extra tax on the few % who make above this threshold is the answer?

And this is related to voting...how????

Let''''s see, will we see the usual shenanigans? A 500 people to one voting machine ratio in the poor neighborhood that tend to vote Democratic, while we see a 3 person to 1 ratio in rich Republican neighborhoods?

The second a congressman gets sworn in, they start running for re-election. They start building a war chest of cash for the next election. They don''t regulate anyone who feeds them. They don''t regulate financial institutions, the FDA, the pharmaceutical companies, the food industry, the defense industry or the chemical industry. They are all potential sources of cash for re-election.

Unfortunately, they don''t stop there. Every year they increase farm subsidies. Agri-biz is a huge source of cash.

We need term limits for these greedy schmucks in Congress. Pelosi''s Congress is the worst Congress in history. The country is collapsing because they looked the other way after taking cash from contributors.

Faced with a surge in voter registrations leading up to Nov. 4, election officials across the country are bracing for long lines, equipment failures and confusion over polling procedures that could cost thousands the chance to cast a ballot.

Hey, buddy! NOBODY, no political party CHEATS as much as the GOP---not even the commies! YOU guys wrote the book when it comes to political FRAUD! So, save the poisonous monologue for a ''board where people want to hear B.S.---like FOX NEWS! You''re not impressing anyone here! LATER.

This will be a Massacre of unparrilelled dimensions for the GOPerv Party. When Americans awake the next morning, our Government will be solidly in the hands of a filibuster-proof Democratic Majority.

Geez, I wish I shared your enthusiasm and optimism!

But, you never know! The men might wake up and realize they''re not going to get anything off of Palin, and the women might realize she''s going to take away all their hard fought for RIGHTS!

If that happens, then it would be a ''blow out''!
