Big day in Washington on Thursday: The Democrats stated they want to do good things for the middle class, and they did just that.

The Democratic senate rejected a plan to extend the Bush tax cuts for the middle class. Instead, it voted, along with Clinton and Obama, that the Democratic budget may allow for a tax hike on persons making $31,850 a year. This must be the evil rich they talk about.

Neil Cavuto interviewed some "Democratic strategists" who said it is not a tax increase, it is just "a rollback of the Bush tax cuts." Huh!

This they say, is to help the less fortunate. Which means they want to take your money and mine and give it to the scum who won't work for it.

Not surprisingly, they reneged on the rules to which Clinton and Obama agreed, that they would stay out of Florida and any other state that jumped ahead of Iowa and not seat their delegates at the convention. But according to Obama, McCain changed his mind on the tax cuts and he is flip-flopping. Just more Democratic nonsense.

They went on vacation a couple weeks ago without voting to extend the bill that would allow for wiretaps on terrorists calling into the United States. The Democrats will not allow this bill on the floor again if they can help it.

By all means, let's allow the bleeding hearts in this country to put a Democrat in the White House for four years and let them bleed the middle class taxpayers of this country dry, decimate our military, allow us to be attacked time and again without retaliation, give automatic citizenship for anyone who waltzes across our borders, and we won't have to be bothered by them for the next 30 years or more. If we survive!
