Robert Kuttner: Maybe Not Such a Mid-Term Blowout

Obama has insisted that the Bush era tax cuts, which expire this year, be extended for "only" about 98 percent of Americans, but not for households making over $250,000 a year. Hard to argue with that, but watch the GOP try.

What's more useless than a young gun with no bullets?



3 middle-age guns with no bullets.

Lets privatize SSC. Too bad we didn't do that 20 yrs ago. What would have happened to SSC when the markets collapsed a few yrs back? It would have been destroyed. Got it. GREAT ORIGINAL IDEA MR RYAN!

Cantor is downright creepy and Ryan isn't far behind with those shifty eyes. I've heard them talk and they are less than inspiring.

Personality is obviously a relative term and highly subjective, but the lack of substance is hard to dispute. We have reached this point in the history of our republic because we have relied on the shortsighted to provide our long term vision. Our political system rewards instant gratification and punishes prudent foresight.

I know Kevin McCarthy. He is a not-that-bright pretty-boy in a highly-Conservative district where he doesn't even have to campaign to get re-elected.

Young Guns?? These guys have the personalities of a tree stump. Cantor is downright creepy and Ryan isn't far behind with those shifty eyes. I've heard them talk and they are less than inspiring. They certainly don't represent anything new or different for the republican party. They march in lock step with the rest. I would not call any of them impressive.

More appropriately "over-the-hill shills".
