Personally I wouldn't mind if Ensign decided not to run for re-election and perhaps give Lowden,Tarkanian or even Heller a shot.

How on earth can they think Rangel could hurt the Democrats anymore than Ensign and Vitter could hurt the GOP even if they do win re-election. Fair is fair, and I think Rangel should resign but he is a cocky politician who won't go down without a fight.

Politics is a blood sport, and the idea of scandals hurting one party or the other sort of went out in the 1990's with Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky.

Uh, Rangel is fighting for higher taxes while not paying all of his. I can see why people might be really mad about that.

Well nothing wrong with higher taxes on the top 5 percent, but Rangel if the allegations are true is one cocky bastard to deny them. Is Jesse Jackson going to accuse the GOP of racism this time? I think Rangel has no conscience, and will take his own collegues down with him. It would be good to see him defeated in the primary.

Another 2012 poll? What the heck? Why not do some 2016 polls while your at it PPP?

nick283 - Because that is what liberas do. They love raising taxes so long as they do not have topay them. There's a stereotype about liberals...and obviously it comes from somewhere. "Do as I say, not as I do". Just like libs are very very generous, but only with other peoples money.

What liberals have raised taxes that they don't pay? Rich Republicans vote to reduce their own taxes. People like Teddy Kennedy and other rich liberals have voted to raise their own taxes. And by the way, Obama has CUT taxes on people making less than $250,000 a year. Sorry it didn't include you.
Please get your facts straight! Oh you can't, you don't believe in facts, that why you are a Republican!

I dunno, how about our current reasury secratary? Former majority leader Tommy D., Rangel just to name a few off the top of my head.

What tax cut? the $12 or so extra people got i nthere paychecks as of last year? Is that what you call a tax cut?

Typical do as I say, not as I do....like the Kennedy's all about wind mill energy, just NOT on there beach front view!!!!!!!! Or Al gore telling us all to ride bicycles to work and buy sqiggly light bulbs as he zooms around the world in his private jet using limo's to get from airport to airport.

I could go on and on, but neither of has the time.

Stillow:

You're right, I don't have the time. You CHOOSE to believe things that are not true. You did not answer my question. When you talk about raising taxes, don't you mean income taxes? What Democrat voted to raise yours?
Your responses did not answer the question I raised.

AlanSnipes - Phrase the question better. And there are more taxes than just income taxes.
Christie for example was electe din J because Corzine raised numerous taxdes such as the property tax. Barry and Dems are about to let the Bush tax cuts expire in January which is in essence a tax increase since taxes will be going up. Or Clinton raising taxes in 1993.

The point is not the actual raising of the taxes,the point is Dems are typically the party who says we need to raise taxes all the time and meanwhile key players within the Dem party like to aovid paying taxes....republicans try to avoid them as well, but they are also the party usually trying to lower taxes......like I said, Dems love spending other peoples money, just usually not their own.

I think his point was this time, no one is voting to raise your taxes, its that the repubs didn't have the political balls to make their tax cuts permanent the first time. And what to do with the 2 trillion it will cost to "extend" these? We saw the massive stimulus effect it had over the first decade they were enacted, I'm sure the growth that ensues will cover the cost in the second decade and make up for what was lost in the first decade as well...
