I guess the plan is to keep the masses from voting.

In December 2010, The Stupid Democrats could have done the Right thing and refused to allow a Vote to extend the Bush Tax Cuts to the floor and they would have expired @ 00:01 on January 1, 2011.
They voted to extend the Bush Tax Cuts and Obama was stupid when he failed to Veto this stupid Bill. Ohm there were not enough Votes to Override the Veto.
Do not give me this crap about making Republicans happy, they should have allowed the Bush Tax Cuts todie by refusing to Vote to extend them end of story.

@Tigger
So I take it you support the President and the Congressional Democrats’ current push to let the Bush tax cuts partly expire?

Tigger, as usual, is trying to distract from the issue at hand. The comic points clearly to the fact that the Republicans are only about taking care of the rich (who have purchased the party wholesale). Their “plan” is the same failed plan that has put the economy in the profound trouble that it’s in today. It will penalize poor and middle class working families in order to further enrich the already obscenely rich. Tigger wants you to think about something else. Harleyquinn isn’t really bored by the comic. He’s just tired of seeing his masters getting gored over and over again. Both of these republican parasitic toadies should be ignored.

I think most Romney votes are anti-Obama votes.
What do people see that Romney would do?
What would life under Romney be like?
What are his goals?
I know our taxes will be higher and we will likely go to war with Iran, and the regulations and will be stripped and the environmental and clean food and drinking water protections will be weakened.
The rich will have a lot more money so The Job creators will create more jobs just like they have the last 10-12 years, and we won’t have universal health care.
I know these are considered “good”, but what other good to you expect he will do?
What advantages would there be in Romney’s presidency?

Wabbit, THERE WILL BE NO OBAMA!!!! everything else is ’gravy". Stop buying into this class warfare crap put out by the dems. Everyone should pay taxes but at the same time, spending should be cut.

antiquetracman said, “.. spending should be cut.”
GREAT bumpersticker.
Any ideas on WHAT?

For the past 30 yrs, the rich have been given more and more tax breaks. Meanwhile the economy had slid further and further until it was broken completely in 2008. If this ‘job Creators’ stuff was ever true, then you wasted all of our time.
The rich have had all the money for long enough. Time to give it back and help the middle class who need the money and use it to keep the economy healthy,

Kind of like the Democrats and soldiers from Ohio.

Wabbit’s right. Romney is just an empty suit with no Obama in it. That’s the best the Republicans can do.

It’s hard to give tax cuts to the bottom 50% who pay NO federal income tax yet suck up plenty of “free” benefits.
These liberal liars (redundant) have been beating this drum for close to 100 years. The rich pay the lion’s share of taxes.
