Twitter

Mouthing off:Well, I finally got into Twitter. I cannot tell you how long I have been trying and I will not go into the boring details, but I did it this a.m. I left message for Sarah Palin (don't know if it took) and Keith Olbermann & Rachel Maddow, my heroes!!!!
I am still upset w/Pres. Obama and the tax cuts for the rich and not famous. I am not as upset as I was, as I sort of understand. However, what I don't understand, is: During the Bush years
(Oh, God, how I am trying ot forget them!!!) when the Reps were majority in both Houses, everything he wanted got passed. If the Dems proposed anything he just vetoed everything. Now, as of today (until, unfortunately, 12/31/10) the Dems are majority in both Houses and they can't get anything passed. The Reps are unhappy w/the word "hostage" but that is what they are doing - they are holding the middle and lower class as hostages just to get tax cuts for the rich! It doesn't make sense. Well, it does to them as that is where they get their money. But they all MUST have poor constituents, it is impossible not to. And why the last minute? The DADT bill was repealed in the house in Sept. Why wait until the llth hr for the Senate to turn it down? Also, Wed. Lieberman (I-Conn) & Susan Collins (R- somewhere in New England) announced that the Senate had the 60 votes it needed to repeal and then something happened and they took another vote on Thurs. and Susan Collins was at the dentist and didn't know about this vote and they didn't have the 60 votes. Someone said they decided to go to war faster than repealing this bill. It is sad! Well, we shall see what happens today. I could go on and on, this is great, I love being on my soap box. I only hope someone reads it.
