Better question... do I think lowering already historically low tax rates even lower makes sense? No. So you are worried about the burden falling on the rich... yet not worried about the cuts and burden the middle-class is and will be facing? So it's bad to tax someone making a million dollars or more a year a bit more, but good to cut services and benefits to those making the $30,000 per year. Ok, that sounds fair. Aside from this when are Republicans going to start working towards creating jobs... you know, something all of the new members of Congress campaigned on last year. If people want to hang democrats for in action they should do the same for Republicans. Stop worrying about Weiner and his dumb actions, stop worrying about Abortion, etc., etc. etc.

I do applaud the idea of wanting cuts... I would be interested in finding where these cuts are exactly? Do we think raising taxes is on the table? Doubt it. I think the offer that some democrats are offering which is having those who make one million dollar earners per year to 45%... billion dollar earners at 49%. Still lower than what it was during the Reagan years. I think that is fair. The Fairness in Taxation Act asks enacts new tax brackets for income starting at $1 million and ends with a $1 billion bracket. The new brackets would be: $1-10 million: 45% $10-20 million: 46% $20-100 million: 47% $100 million to $1 billion: 48% $1 billion and over: 49% The bill would also tax capital gains and dividend income as ordinary income for those taxpayers with income over $1 million. If enacted in 2011, the Fairness in Taxation Act would raise more than $78 billion. Washington Post

What are talking about Gas Prices have been the talk within the media for months now. Always asking what is Obama / Congress going to do about it. Fixed the other part for you.

HAHAHAHA!!!

You're proving yet again how F'ing stupid you are.

Do you know for certain that they are? I mean come on, he was doing this to protect his marriage? Really? Yeah and his new book ".... Excuse Me While I Save the World" yes, good ol' Andy can save us all.

Did not know about his book. Did not believe Trump was going to run.... do not believe Palin is going to run either.

To be quite honest, I didn't question Breitbart until after the statements he made yesterday. Those statements make me believe his motives are NOT clean. Leftard.. nice name. Typical BS that makes people not want to actually discuss things. Makes you look so credible as well. Talking about foisting a label. Is that like Obama is a Socialist? Obama is not from the country? Obama is muslim... racist... etc., etc. Come on don't act all high and mighty like your party doesn't toss out labels. By the way, I'm not a big fan of placing labels on people. What other politicians smeared Breitbart over this?

Every other reporter is more credible than him right now. I'm sorry one normally does not see a "reporter" jumping up on the stage and taking over a press conference. Most reporters sit in the crowd and ask questions. Even those who broke a story and were right all a long. So since he's the one that broke the story, why can't he state how he came in possession with the photos? Why is he not releasing the another photo... the story has been completely blown open releasing anything else just makes him look like he's piling on. I am a Democrat. But I am not a far left leaning Democrat. :thumbsup:

Yeah, he is no victim in this. If he would have just come out and said he did it from the beginning this probably would have been over by now.

First off. Not every Democrat is a Liberal. Hopefully you know that. Doubt it though. Secondly I have stated over and over and over again... that Weiner F'd up. No doubt. Not sure about him breaking any laws other than the marriage agreement he had with his wife. Now in regards to the media.. I have simply said I would like to know HOW Breitbart gained the photos. I see nothing wrong with that. I also do not believe him in anyway when he makes statements like he was going after this story "in order to protect Weiners" family. Statements like that make me question Breitbart and wonder what his true intentions were. Obviously and not surprisingly so, most people here are not questioning Breitbart.

Another blanket statement that is not true. Everyone knows and should admit that Weiner F'd up. I think what gets people annoyed is that Breitbart sort of hijacked the press conference and then makes dumb ass statements like "I was doing this to save his family". He doesn't give a crap about Weiner or his family.

If the messenger seems to be showboating or lying about their true intentions for releasing the story.

How am I changing the subject? You asked and I replied. Dear lord I wouldn't classify Breitbart as your typical reporter. And really did anyone ask him to get involved in this in order "to save his marriage"? I'm sure that he was concerned about that.

I think when someone like Breitbart comes out and holds having access to photos over someone's head in order "to save their marriage" they should.

No it's not stupid. I am sure you can go through the many Republican scandals and find hypocrisy. So Weiner lieed to his wife/family and media. Did he break the law? Not unless he used his work Blackberry/equipment... and even then it's debatable. No doubt he is a moron though.

I love how everyone here is protecting Breitbart. Hilarious. Releasing how he gained the photos should not be an issue. Hell everyone knows that TMZ pays photographers for their work.

Obviously you're having issues in understanding. Some politicians will fight against issues and then go out and do the thing they are fighting against. Hypocrites. As far as I know Weiner has never campaigned against sexting or anything like that. Not saying what he did was right in any way. Now back to Breitbart.. I think people should know how he gained the photos. Why not? If he and other sites like Radar Online are going to come out with them to out someone, they should also say how they received the photos.

He did. He said he feels horrible about her being dragged into this because of his actions.

Other incidents where people campaign and against gay marriage and then are caught in homosexual relationships, etc, etc. Anything contradicting what they fight against. Kind of like someone acting as though they are all religious and then having an affair or doing something dumb like this. Who gives a f? Me and I am sure others. I never said Breitbart was a sinister villain. Why is it so bad for him to disclose where/how he gained the photos?

I do feel bad for him and really for his wife and family. The law broken here is the law between a man and his wife. Nothing more than that. I think the difference between this and other incidents is that Weiner isn't out there campaigning against sexting or cheating. Still horrible and stupid thing to do. Granted Weiner screwed up no matter what. But it would be interesting to find out how the photos were gained. Were they gained by Brietbart paying off someone? Someone truly hacking the account after the initial mistaken post? The girl involved releasing them for payment?

Personally, I'd like to see how he gained the photos. Granted Weiner messed up big time, but I think it's relevant.

Why not? I think one can question how he gained access to the photos?

I question why/how Breitbart received the photos.

Ok let's be clear thousands because he made a tweeting mistake while making a mistake with a chick other than his wife. A picture in his underwear is different than an actual picture of his junk. No different than a Calvin Klein ad except he's not a model. Who really gives a crap about him lying to the news and during interviews. Doing that is not breaking the law. All of that being said, he made a huge mistake and who knows if he will resign. Politically I am sure he still has some supporters... as a person yes, no doubt people are disgusted. This really would not be a big deal if he just admitted it right from the beginning.
