in Colin Powell is going to fire back at Cheney, LImbaugh on AMERICAblog
Colin Powell wil be a terrific addition to the "Democrat" Party.
I'm sure he'll be welcomed warmly in spite of his allowing himself to be duped by Dick Cheney in the run-up to the Iraq War. At least the man appears to have a conscience.
The Republicans can keep Cheney, Malkin, Hannity, Limbaugh, et al. The Democrats will happily accept Colin Powell.

of course, because he is a democrat. he isn't a republican. he left the party a while ago. i feel sorry for him. i'm a conservative and unlike dem's like to say, were not evil people. as a matter of fact, we don't necessarily disagree on all social issues. the biggest divide is democrats association with anti-capitalism. i believe i can spend my money better than a politician. but people like pelosi who is held so high in your party do incredible damage to free-market capitalism and the overall american way of life. every liberal i have met believes they as so intelligent and progressive, but it is actually quite the opposite. liberal leaders don't learn from history, and that is socialist, government-dominant systems do not, and never will work. so who are the idiots her? call me what you will, but in no conversation i have ever had with a liberal has there argument ever held water. they just do the usual; get defensive, blame republicans, or ignore the truth. further dividing the parties and pushing away compromise toward a common good.

in Battling Obama by ‘Going Galt’ on The Washington Independent
This "going Galt" is some of the stupidest garbage to come from the right in quite a while.
First, you all act like you make $250,000 per and I'm betting that you don't. Maybe a couple of you, but not very many. That's why it's the top two percent.
Second, we're talking about paying an extra three cents on your 250,001st dollar. Get a grip. All you top two percenters did just fine in the '90's when the rate between $250,001 and $357,000 was 36%. I'm betting you will survive this time, too.
Third, nobody gives a shit if you "go Galt" anyway. You ain't as great as you think you are. You don't work harder than other folks, like you seem to think you do. If you want to find out what real work is, get a job laying pavement in Houston, Texas in July, Your soft little lawyer hands will soon learn that's real work. Thank your lucky stars if you make over $250,000 and quit being such a pathetic whiner.

Pug, no one who makes over $250,000 does it because they are "lucky". They probably also do not lay pavement either. Laying pavement is a job that is not worth $250,000 a year. These people use their MIND to make money, not their muscle.
A smart man once told me that the difference between someone who makes "real money" and someone who does not, is that for the former the work week is just getting started at 40 hours, not coming to an end.

The top 2% already pay over 40% of the federal income tax. See http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/250.html. We are quickly approaching a point when a majority will not pay any federal income taxes. I cannot speak for others but I am not whining and I do know what real work is. I am just done accepting insults for sacrificing, working hard, and succeeding. That is it. You have the absolute right to speak your mind and I can choose to spend my money as I see fit. I am conserving my resources as much as possible to prepare for an even worse economy. My mother taught me to expect the best, but prepare for the worst. So I expect the Obama administration and Congress to all wake-up tomorrow and put aside their desire to fundamentally change this country and instead focus on sound fiscal management. But I will prepare for the economy to tank and the world to become an even scarier place with Russia, China and the Middle East realizing that this administration does not have the guts to hold their feet to the fire. I hope that I am being too pessimistic and Obama matures into a great president. Thanks for laying pavement in Houston. I drive to Houston every day.
