I am getting very sick of the 'fear of tax raises' propaganda that CNN is pushing.

The fiscal cliff thing is loaded with so much bull. The pundits are fomenting more hate for Obama because of this. If the Republicans would stop obstructing and leave their slimy fingers off the Health Care Act financial problems could be addressed rather quickly.
The right is full of predictions as to what will happen when we go off of the "fiscal cliff". All I have to say is, "Hey CNN, Fox News and right wing pundits. How did that Romney victory propaganda work out for you?"

The more people do that, the quicker they'll either change their ways, or shut down and put themselves out of their misery.

It had been collecting dust since the signal went digital in June 2009. Getting a new one and paying for cable is not on my short list.

I took advantage of the coupons for a converter box, and got mine for free, I don't miss cable, for the most part. I web stream some things on occasion. Most of the time, I watch PBS.

We need to spend less time worrying about them. They've been defanged. No teeth at all anymore. Sure, the Republicans still have control of the House, but they are a House divided among themselves. Let the Tea Party and the Wall Streeters exhaust themselves fighting among themselves.

expire. Then after January the repukes have to play ball or not.

CNN is trying to get everyone on the repukes side hoping Dems will cave before year end.

with stuff like this, look for Benghazi to pick up steam and other RW favorites.
