Senate Delays Vote on Bush-Era Tax Cuts

Senate Delays Vote on Bush-Era Tax Cuts - NYTimes.com

Democrats have decided not to seek a pre-election showdown on the soon-to-expire Bush tax cuts, saying lawmakers will instead wage the legislative battle with Republicans in a lame-duck session in November.

- This is what it's come to. The Democrats, despite having control of both house of Congress, have completely caved. They won't even vote on keeping the tax cuts for the vast majority of Americans. Why? Because they are afraid of the Republicans. This pure cowardice was ridiculed by the pro-Democrat Keith Olbermann.

- Specifically: Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, is in a tough re-election campaign. He doesn't want to give ammunition to his opponent. Do you need anymore reason to vote the career incumbent Reid.
