It is pretty douchy that Israel didn't have to sign the NPT but gets weapons and reactors. These sanctions are just going to make Iran desperate. And for what? Because they might make a few nuclear weapons? North Korea hasn't nuked anyone and they talk all sorts of crazy shit.

Some people are rooting for a different team than the one that GG is commonly associated with. These sorts of hard-line mouth-breathers hold "the other teams" to a higher standard than their own.

I mean, we gave Bush 2 shots at the Executive position despite his destruction of two profitable businesses while at the helm.

From what I read of the reports, the Democrats were willing to cut spending on Medicaid and other programs IF the Republicans agreed to raise taxes for the wealthiest 2%. The shame in this case is clearly the Republicans failing to agree to a compromise. Instead of debating by how much to raise them, they're rejecting the idea outright. THAT my friends, is why I hope to see the day when the Republicans find themselves without any $$ during their campaigns.

I have come to a similar understanding. The Republicans are unwilling to accept any revenue increases while the Democrats are willing to accept cuts. The Republicans refuse to compromise. They are the issue.

On the upside, Obama promises to veto any attempts to avoid the automatic cuts. AND the Bush-Obama tax cuts, the Obama tax cuts and the unemployment extension will all expire at the end of the year. If the GOP won't compromise then nothing gets done and hey look...we've started down the path to solvency. But just a few steps...we'll need to raise more revenue and cut further over time to get back in the black. Which is fine. Steep cuts right now would crush the economy IMO.
