| Call John Fleming now... (Posted on 12/12/12 at 3:33 pm)
Just got this email from the White House..
Friend --
This week, thousands of Americans picked up the phone to help the President prevent a tax hike on middle-class families.
We can't stop now. Republican leadership in the House of Representatives is still refusing to allow a vote on a bill that would prevent 98 percent of American families from paying higher taxes next year.
If your taxes go up by more than $2,000 in a couple weeks, there's only one reason: because a few dozen Republican representatives refuse to ask the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans to pay their fair share.
Pick up the phone right now and ask your representative in Congress to sign the petition to bring the Senate-passed bill to the floor. Here's who to call:
Representative John Fleming
(202) 225-2777

Yep. So, there cannot possibly be another reason? Like "I refuse to cut spending." Nope. That could not possibly be another reason. Nope.

Four years ago, I kind of liked Obama. I didn't vote for him, but I didn't hate him either. He seemed less like a politician, and more like a positive, uplifting leader who could bring our nation together. Hell, maybe even he believed that then.
Now, he's the biggest POS in the business. Frick him.

The best thing I can say about Fleming is he's probably marginally smarter than Rodney Alexander. Marginally.

Any response I might post would likely draw the attention of the Secret Service, so I'll withhold comment.

Also, disregard the fact that I'm the fricking President and my party is in charge of the Senate and I have zero leadership ability.

The number one reason is that the damned DEMs would not vote for it without the automatic expiration date attached.
When is the last time a spending program came with an expiration date?
DEMs are completely corrupt, mendacious, mean-spirited, arrogant, amoral, emotion-driven, divisive, bad neighbors.
I used to reserve my abhorance to the DEM leadership - but now I just cannot stand any DEM - period. They are all willing agents in the destruction of all that made America great.
Screw em all.
