To presume that to be true,also seems to presume rethugs have any capacity or desire to be honest,factual or in possession of a shred of moral integrity......Personally....That's too much of a leap for me.......

Yep, you're right. Too much of a leap for me.

their dance around the Norquist pledge is pure Kubuki theater

They've been trying to slash the social safety net forever, it's a matter of doctrine that precedes Nordquist. He's just being thrown in our face as the cause of all of it, not one of them will vote to do anything to help people or extend rights.

They have not changed one bit. Let them toss Grover under the bus, they are still driving us into poverty and inequality. Never forget, and pay atention to every time they vote against those they intended to hurt all along.

They just all swore to vote against the UN on rights for the disabled, are we dumb enough to believe the media hype that they have they changed their tune?

Not buying what their media is selling us this week, no.

Strictly platonic though, no skeezy stuff.

than they are of their idiot districts which will re-elect them forever unless someone like Grover has a reason to put up an even crazier candidate.

If you listen to what they say, they aren't offering much. Still insisting on the tire old "entitlement reform" line, and offering reduction in tax "loopholes" that are largely beneficial to the middle class.

They may be trying to put a shine on it, but it's the same old Republican turd.

Does the Republicans' plan for the "closing of loopholes and the limiting deductions" close loopholes and limit deductions for everybody or just the wealthy? I would also like to know specifics on why the "math doesn't add up." I am of the belief that there is no way the math adds up unless you hit everybody including the poor and middle-class -- not just the wealthy. Have the Republicans even been specific in what loopholes they are closing and what deductions they are limiting?
