This morning on Morning Joe, Joe S. said that every member of the House
has a mandate for those people in their district who voted for them. What an a$$hole? With that kind of logic, that would mean we have 538 members of congress all who have an individual mandate to govern on behalf of their individual voters. What a recipe for disaster?
Joe S. made the declaration screaming at the camera, that none of the GOP members of the House should vote for the President's tax proposal unless the President promised each one of them something in return for their vote. This coming on the cuff of a conversation about Lincoln having to beg, borrow, steal and bribe, and make deals to get votes for the emancipation proclamation. I'm sorry, Joe S., but the Fiscal Cliff is not the Emancipation Proclamation.
I think it's a good thing that Joe S. is no longer a congressman, particularly with the dumb crap he spouts from time to time. This morning was particularly embarrassing since none of the regulars who obviously need the gig, could bring themselves to disagree with anything Joe S. said, no matter how outrageous he got.
Interesting enough, a guest later on Chuck Todd's show The Daily Rundown, named David Wasserman, of the Cook Political Report afterwards, pointed out that Democrats in the House won their congressional seats on average by a million more votes than their GOP counterparts in the House. He also pointed out that the Dems had overperformed in the 2012 Swing states and were on their way to establishing themselves as as a stronghold in the 2012 Swing States.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251258631So when we elect a congressman he isn't supposed to reflect the wishes of the people in his district? Did the DUmmy seriously just make that claim?
Yet they want their congressman to do what they say.

3. Uhmmm, Joe ...
Joe S. made the declaration screaming at the camera, that none of the GOP members of the House should vote for the President's tax proposal unless the President promised each one of them something in return for their vote.
President Obama has already made the promise something in return for their vote ... a couple things really. He promised that if they vote for the tax plan, each member in their district will see a tax cut, except for those making over 250K, who will see a net tax increase. He also, has promised that if they vote for his tax plan, we will be on the road to a functioning legislature.
Ummm 1 weak ass black man, there will be no tax cuts, if a deal is reached we, the middle class, will pay the same rate as we payed the year before. If there is no deal then we will be paying more.
And what is this shit about a functioning legislature?
Even if we raise taxes we still will have a deficit every year and the debt will continue to grow larger. Unemployment will go through the roof because the evil rich won't be able to hire people and pay their taxes. Then you add in all the surprise tax increases from 0bamacare. You wanna talk about a recipe for disaster you have one with 0bama.

5. We should always note that everyone gets a tax cut on the first $250,000 of income. The proposed
increase only applies to the taxable income in excess of $250,000. A person with taxable income of $250,100 would only pay about $3.00 more.
Tell you what DUmmy I will only take every dollar from you over the first hundred dollars, you get to keep 100% of that first hundred but I get to take everything above that. Sound like a good deal?
