1. He's as despicable as they come. n/t

[lapfog_1]

2. Time for PRESIDENT OBAMA to tell them

"Fine, tried the bi-partisan, post-partisan bullshit... done with it. Now see how a majority party rules, asswipe. No tax cuts for anyone that makes over $250K... in fact, we'll ELIMINATE that BUSH TAX CUTS on those people. And, oh yeah, any person or corporation that moves to an offshore location... will no longer be welcome to do business in the United States."

[FLAprogressive]

3. creepy closet case n/t

[truebrit71]

9. No kidding...that self-denier really needs to get over himself...

...I think he would be a much happier human being if he did that...

[Elwood P Dowd]

4. Like Kristol, Dreier is wrong 100% of the time.

:puke:

[spanone]

6. at least.

[spanone]

5. he's very troubled with the legislation....encourages all to oppose it

[spanone]

7. he's whining that the bill was done without consulting the repugs....fuck you drier

[4lbs]

8. And how many times did the GOP consult with Democrats before ramming things through Congress?

n/t

[spanone]

10. i'm Proud of President Obama TRYING to include the other party...

he will find out that they are human pitbulls....you can't rationalize with these shits.

[madrchsod]

13. he knows they are...he`s just sizing up the enemy.

[Kalyke]

17. Oh - stop being mean to the poor pitbulls of the world!

Some may have viciously attacked unsuspecting neighbors over the years, but none have been so cruel as Republicans.

[spanone]

19. that is unfair to the pitbull breed. i apologize.

[spanone]

11. jon kyl (fuckhead) 'all tax cuts must be made permanent'.....there ya go

[madrchsod]

12. i must say ..they under estimate obama

once he sees who is for it or against it, he`ll go on an offensive that will leave them bloody.

[spanone]

14. i beleive he is setting them up for the fall of their careers...

he's offered an olive branch and they have shit on it.

[madrchsod]

18. he did`t get where he is today by underestimating his detractors...

he`ll find at least one or two republican senators this year to vote his way. 2010 is another story.

[SoCalDem]

15. Is he the one who called it a photo-op?

EVERY Bush "appearance" was a photo op, but he was silent about them then, wasn;t he?

I wish dems would start calling them out on their hypocrisy..
and would someone please smack down that idiot crybaby Boner, and his little pet ferret (Cantor)

[spanone]

16. the thugs want to make this a republican proposal.....as President Obama says...he won

[KharmaTrain]

20. Good...Now Steamroll 'Em

Let the repugnicans stand in the way of a recovery package...especially after they were given a chance to have a say. Call it a magnanimous act that is being botched by the GOOP.

Here's the lay of the land. Who cares what the House repugnicans say...they can't ammend, just bitch. That's all they have and it plays into hate radio and the corporate media. It's a dog and pony show that ignores how few votes these con artists have...and trying to show their "base" they still have juevos.

The numbers game here is to pick off a GOOPer here or there...one more concerned with going up against a very popular President and whose seen how sticking with their sinking party is a sure ticket to their own political demise. The ones you hear talking are the safe ones...who can blow their noise without fearing an immediate fall out. Who we don't hear from are the ones who will pass the bill.

Cheers...

21. Have we enough enough of the Permanent Repuke Leisure Class yet?

Put those whining babies back in daycare where they belong. They have no business in the halls of government. They were given many, many chances to act like responsible adult citizens and legislators, but the more you give them the more they whine. The Permanent Leisure Class are apparently unable to even wipe their own ample arses and demand that the American people keep doing it for them.

What, didn't Vitter have enough dydies to go around? The stink on the right-hand side of the aisle must be appalling.

Let them sit in their own shit and may they rot in it. I'm tired of being their doormat and meal-ticket.

There's not one single repuke on earth that one honest day's work, a single shot of liquor, and a piece of ass within 24 hours wouldn't kill outright.

[MassNssen]

22. Haha!

Haha!

[spanone]

23. brilliant post!

[devilgrrl]

24. Wasn't it?

:eyes:

They just never learn do they?

[bridgit]

25. Drier is another one, this is all these people are going to do: trash it!!

Or should I say: trash the rest of it!! It's time to start stepping around them and push a couple in a mud puddle in that process i.e. David Drier & John Boehner

[spanone]

26. i applaud President Obama for trying to reach across the isle...it shows his desire to try

he knows congress as well as anyone and he knows he can go to the people and plead his case....he tried and they shit on him

[HughBeaumont]

27. Of course Mr. Pro-Outsourcing, pro-"Friedmanomics" wouldn't approve.

David Dreier was one of Bewsh/Mankiw's biggest cheerleaders when Mank the Wank came out with that report that burger flipping could be considered "manufacturing". He had his own testimony championing the greatness of the service economy and how it will carry us into the future. Never mind that many of these jobs generally don't pay comparably to manufacturing positions nor do they have great benefits or room for movement.
