More Democrat Transparency
The agreements were reached after hours of negotiations, most of it behind closed doors and outside the public forum of the conference committee discussions. The approvals cleared the way for both houses of Congress to vote on the full financial regulatory bill next week. (NYT, 6/25/10)

Another broken promise.

More Democrat Hypocrisy
Mr. Obama set the stage for the debate when, shortly before nominating Ms. Kagan, he accused the Roberts court of a brand of conservative judicial activism. Democrats are echoing that language; Mr. Leahy, for instance, complained of a “conservative activist majority” in the court when he previewed the hearings for reporters last week. (NYT, 6/26/10)

Vermont’s Senator-for-Life Patrick Leahy is a hypocrite, and a shallow one at that. Does anyone think for one minute that he would complain about a “liberal activist majority” on the Supreme Court? Of course not. That is his dream.

More Democrat Taxes
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has introduced a bill that would restore the estate tax of 45 percent for those with an estate valued at between $3.5 million and $10 million, his office said in a statement Thursday.Sanders said the legislation could raise $264 billion over the course of a decade. (BFP, 6/26/10)

And then there is Colonel Sanders. It is not enough that we are taxed when we earn money and then again when we invest that money. The Colonel wants to tax it again – hard – when you die. He has to get the money to pay for his glorious social welfare programs from somewhere.
