Again....

The Democrats dumped 300 page addition to the bill in the dead of night
and the vote came to the floor before anyone had a chance to read it....
It's right there in the comments by John Beohner...

That the Democrats wrote ObamaCare behind locked doors excluding the Republicans? That it was passed using special legislative proceedures?

Maybe they learned how effective that little trick is by observing how the Repubs got the Bush tax cut package through. You remember don't you? When they (Repubs) held the vote open for hours and Darth Vader Cheney had to come in and cast the deciding vote. Remember?

Or maybe it is the way Repubs are writing the insider trading laws (what a joke) behing closed doors with only Repubs participating.

Hell who knows where the Dems learned that trick.

The fact that you don't KNOW that it's true is what I find most amusing about you, TM. You truely are the most clueless poster on this board.

Republicans call negotiation "caving in". They want to run the country and if they don't get their way, they will bring it down. That's plain to see. Not something that can be denied. They publicly say things like, our number one priority is to bring down the first black American president, even before was sworn in.

Any cut is extreme. The DNC conference call trumping your pathetic ass.

Vice President Dick Cheney was called into Senate chambers Thursday, where he cast the deciding vote on a hotly contested tax-cut package amendment that will suspend taxes on stock dividends for three years.

"It would encourage investment, it would encourage jobs, it would encourage growth," Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla., said of the measure just before Cheney submitted the tie-breaking ballot in the 51-50 vote to eliminate dividend taxes in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

The $350 billion package includes an additional $90 billion in cuts and aid to states that will be offset with higher fees and other taxes.

Nickles' amendment was supposed to be a compromise over the dividend tax cut that has stalled debate on the measure.

Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., said the dividend break will come at the expense of married couples whose tax breaks were scaled back to make room in a tight budget. "Americans today who otherwise will receive the relief on the marriage penalty contained in this bill are going to be subsidizing and paying for, in effect, these tax-free dividends," he said.

President Bush had sought passage of a dividend tax cut as part of his economic stimulus package. Last week, the House passed a $550 billion tax cut plan that lowers the top income-tax rate on dividends from U.S. companies to 15 percent, down from its current high of 38.6 percent. The measure would last the life of the 10-year cut.

The Senate's $350 billion measure provides much less room for dividend tax cuts. On Tuesday, the Senate Finance Committee (search) approved a measure that would exclude from taxation the first $500 of dividend income, plus 10 percent of additional dividend income through 2007. The exclusion would increase to 20 percent of income between 2008-2012. The plan would cost $81 billion over 11 years.

Thanks, a great explanation of our government

One side taxes grandma while the other protects the very well off.

Can't come up with anyone, Deanie?

You know what? TM is the probably the stupidest poster on the board but you're right there in the running. If Huffington Post and ThinkProgress ceased to be neither one of you would be able to function.

How is it that a second old thread is marked "old"?

Why is this so hard for some people to understand? It is marked old because the software recognizes the fact that you already read the thread, so it is old, to you. The rest of the people who have not read it see it as new. You will see this post as new, but it will be old to me.
