So the real point isn’t that we can’t afford Social Security and Medicare. It’s that some people don’t want to pay the higher taxes necessary to maintain Social Security and Medicare. This is a question of distribution, pure and simple.

The richest 2% of taxpayers could see their tax rates skyrocket by nearly five percent, in an assault on freedom unparalleled since Hiro-Heeto sent his kamikaze bombers directly into Lady Liberty’s mouthpiece on July 4, 1776. Do we really want to live in a nation in which people making half a million dollars per year face the prospect of paying $5,000 more in taxes? And they have to think about this over the Christmas season?

It’s UNDER 9000!!!

It is worth noting that Rubio attends both a Roman Catholic and a Southern Baptist congregation, which is quite indicative of the strength of his convictions…

It indicates that he does not actually have strength in his convictions, I mean not being able to choose one creed over the other is tantmount to Biblical Heresy (its right there in the 10 commandments) you can say “I love Coke” and then alternate wtih Pepsi as if it’s the same thing. These two things are chalk and cheese, despite what some may say

The critical component, though, is a mechanism that would force senators to physically take the floor and speak in order to maintain opposition to legislation. The effort to end a filibuster is called a cloture motion. Under the proposed rules, if a cloture vote failed to win a simple majority, the bill would be killed and the Senate would move to new business. But if it won a majority – though less than a supermajority of 60 – the bill would remain on the floor for any senator who wished to opine on it. If at some point no senator rose to speak, after given several chances to do so, a new vote would be called – and only a simple majority would be needed to pass it.

This would be a great Xmas Present to America – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/15/democrats-filibuster-reform_n_2141382.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009
