8. I agree

Edited on Sun May-07-06 08:23 AM by rpannier

That seems to be a no-brainer. Repeal the tax cuts for people making six figures or more.
I live overseas, I pay taxes to the U.S. this year. And next year I will clear 100,000. I won't need the tax cuts.

On edit: I have paid taxes to the Korean gov't for the past ten years as well. And I still won't need the tax cuts.

9. Repeal the tax cuts for the top 2%, the dividend tax cuts, and fix estate

tax--not do away with it, as the Rethugs so dearly wish to do.

Russert is supremely rude to Pelosi, rarely letting her even get the first sentence out before he interrupts her with his Rethugs talking points.

Shameless corporatist media shill!

18. Just like the pugs called the estate tax the death

tax, why don't the Dems call the Bush tax cuts the Paris Hilton tax cuts. Most people view Paris Hilton as a spoiled brat who will never have to work a day in her life only by virtue of birth.

19. Thankfully, the Dems often do call the estate tax the "Paris Hilton" tax.

4. He is complicit.

I have every suspicion that he takes orders from the WH in trade for access. Nancy is wise not to fall for his words. He wants her to say they will repeal the tax cut, then the repugs can use the old tax and spend spin. Use your own words, Nancy, not Tim's.

16. He sure is, he sure does, and now he's shitting bricks

He's in the Plame-Rove-Libby and then some business up to his plump, saggy ass! Come on, Timmy, why don't you be like Matt Cooper and tell us what went on when you went to see Fitzy??? Friken wuss!

And he looks like shit; like someone who is dancing as fast as they can, and still not getting anywhere.

Big man, big career rise...time for a BIG FALL, IMO. It can't happen soon enough.

10. Again, he's been bought and paid for -- his job depends on it ...

a time is coming where the network, cable news will not be relevant as those of intelligence can see their transparency and will go online for news from sources they trust; we need to stop perpetuating their very existence by not watching -- tv news will be only a source for conservatives. Once advertisers realize this, pressure will be forthcoming! Is this a possibility; could it become reality? I think we're nearly there.

13. Yes, she is

He is unbelievable today. He won't let her finish a damn sentence, he sounds more like Chris Matthews. Unfairly using 2 year old quotes to hold her to her position on the Iraq war.

Russett would never be doing this to Cheney, Rummy, Condi or any other of the shills of the administration.

Any DUer could've made the case. Wonder what was up with that.

14. She takes a beating, and keeps on ticking

Nancy was great. Says we will have a New Day in 2007 with Dems in the majority.

15. American people would be far better off financing Congressional elections,

thereby having their representatives answer to them and not BIG MONEY--putting their interests before the special interests. They would "dance with us, as the ones who brung 'um" as Molly Ivins likes to say.

Am very pleased to hear that Nancy Pelosi supports CLEAN ELECTIONS, CLEAN MONEY. I have a deep suspicion that her second in command, Steny Hoyer, Dem corporatist, does not. He has already been reported as furiously courting "K Street" lobbyists.

17. DO SOMETHING ...

it would be helpful if all who posted their thoughts here dropped a note to the Meet the Press; I just did. They are pompous, even in face of the reality of their ruined government, for money is power in their world, irregardless, they rule and, consequently, they have no fear. We will only be heard, can only turn it around if advertisers think that their unbalanced reporting is turning off viewers, that we will go elsewhere for our news.
