OBAMA ADVISER SAYS PRESIDENT WILL NOT EXTEND BUSH TAX CUTS, EVEN TEMPORARILY: ’100% COMMITTED’

71. Those "puppies" ARE important.

I had no intention of marginalizing the hostages.
I believe they are ALL worth fighting for.

What I object to is the binary choice Kabuki Theater scam.
The Democrats continually sell the cow for a handful of beans,
and then claim VICTORY!
"Look at ALL these wonderful beans we got,
and the might be MAGIC some time in the future!"

The Democrats have had several opportunities to take the 1% hostage,
and passed.
The best was the Wall Street Bailout.
We could have DEMANDED strong regulatory concessions BEFORE
giving them their money.
We had just rolled into the White House WITH a popular mandate,
and OWNED both Houses,
but NO.
Paulson delivered his 3 page hostage notice.
Our Democrats rolled,
and delivered the Trillion Dollar Ransom, no strings attached.
And our Party declared VICTORY on THAT one too!

In classic American mythology,
the Good Guy rides in,
vanquishes the villain,
and saves the hostage AND The Ranch.

I believe we could have done so with Health Care (Public Option), Taxes, Wall Street, and other issues IF the Party Leadership had chosen to FIGHT,
and taken that FIGHT to the streets.
