Reply #4: That is exactly the word I was thinking as I listened to him speak

That pledge does explain a lot. It is astonishing that some Dems have signed it. Think of the repercussions. Republicans elect a war monger to the Oval House, he declares war on two countries, and the economists say during the duration you can't wage war and not raise taxes (think Bush* tax cuts), but Republicans (as well as some Dems) remain mute on the subject.

It is no surprise this Country is in the shape that it is in. It does defy rational comprehension watching this all play out for a number of years, how these yokels can in campaign speeches BLAME Obama for the failure of this economic recovery taking so long. They have no shame. Why, why, why do people vote for these politicians?

The question I am left with is allowing temporary tax cuts to expire going to be considered the same as raising taxes.
Of course it will.
