Do you ask for anything in return for your vote ??

29. Thanks for your perspective, Kentuckian..

I am under no illusion that swapping him out would create any better condition, probably much worse.

You say, "The only way to specific relief is to break up the cuts and the only way to do that is to let them all sunset and then come back with the specific relief, when the cover is gone and the option of pretending that "I voted against raising anyone's taxes" is off the table." I would agree with that.

Unfortunately, there are not enough spending cuts to make up for these taxcuts. The Republicans are going to keep chopping and chopping until there is nothing left. They will drown that little bastard in the bathtub. But everyone will get their taxcut.

However, if we simply come out and say that it doesn't matter what a politician does or does not do, he still has my support, when will anything ever change? It is insanity.
