34. I don't want a 'tax-break' and I DO want both wars ended yesterday- BUT
I know that what I 'want'- and what I can have aren't the same thing.

You'd probably class me as one of those "apologists" that you'd like to marginalize and dismiss- But I don't fit your pigeon hole, and I think you'd have a hard time finding many people that do-

I could give two shits about the tax-breaks. I am positive however, that there is no way in hell that the republicans will let them die quietly. They will make people suffer, they WILL stand firm and sacrifice any meaningful legislation holding the country hostage until they get what they want.

I'm personally pissed at the Dem's who sat on their arses and refused to address the estate taxes, and expiration of the Bush cuts till the very last minute, and when faced with a choice between bad and bad, suddenly become animated and enjoy posturing and pounding their chests in outrage-

Where is their outrage on ending these stupid wars? where is their outrage on the ensuring that the most vulnerable citizens do not go hungry and homeless? They get all fired up against extending the tax-cuts, where is this same 'fire' for the real issues?

The fuckin hissy fit- only seems to happen with THEM when reality hits home, and their inaction and impotence is laid bare.
