    Now children...

    Have we all learned how the media makes it sound like people say things they didn't?
    You mean like Climategate?

    The other quote quite clearly was.

    Given that she herself admitted supporting a very similar idea less than 3 years ago, it begs belief to imply that "awesome" refered to something other than the idea of the moratorium.
    The article I linked has her referring to her colleague right after awesome. Not the idea. I see no other way to read it except she is saying it's awesome the guy has the same basic idea.

    I hate that about broken quotes. Journalists do it frequently. It should always be seen as a red flag, and not trust how they lay out the story.

    Always verify when the quotes are broken. Don't trust the path the journalist is leading you on.

    No, it is pretty much the same.

    You believed exactly what the media said about those quotes, because it fit your theory.

    What's that, you say? We should all just call WC an idiot until the end of time?

    That's awesome. I know another poster on here who had the same idea.

    As I read this quote from LnGrrrR, it is obvious to me that he does not support calling WC an idiot until the end of time.

    Although I did support calling WC an idiot for at least two months straight.

    If you haven't noticed, I am often a stickler for knowing I have confirmed my bias.

    Usually when someone says "it's awesome" they tend to agree with an idea.
    Maybe coyote is right... maybe it was "opposites" day... do you have a video?

    Do you have a transcript or a video of us agreeing with you?

    There's not enough context without the transcript or the video to discern if I'm agreeing or not with you.

    Just to be clear:

    I don't agree with you.

    I think this is yet another steamy turd that you have grabbed onto with both hands, believing it is gold.

    Your inability to see past your own bias puts you in denial as it squishes out between your fingers.

    Keep clinging to that awesome turd.

    H.R. 7309 would convert the remaining $350 billion of Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson's bailout funds into an income and FICA tax holiday for January and February of next year.
    Just to be 100% sure, Bachmann supported a two-month income tax holiday, not just a FICA or somer minor tax holiday.

    Are you some kind of sick exhibitionist?

    Besides... you don't need to tell us that, it's already implied because most repairman have to be.

    I just thought it would be a funny comeback. You don't have to appreciate my sense of humor. I'm sure some got a chuckle from it.

    Yes. Two month. Not one year.

    Effectively a 16.67% tax break for all.

    Personally, I don't agree with this. I just find it unethical for a journalist to purposely misinform his readers.

    I've said this before. I think there should only be one tax rate. Remove most or all deduction. Remove all tax credits.

    I say lets put half the CPA's out of business. Lets put 90% of the IRS out of business. Max taxation very simple.

    Oh please... someone suggested a one year income tax holiday and she loved the idea.

    "Awesome" is not the adjective most people use to describe policy they thoroughly reject.
