The Heritage Foundation spills facts. Something this administration has learned to cover up, like during the campaign.

Give me a break. The Heritage Foundation is the leading conservative think tank that opposes anything and anyone that doesn't believe in the rich shall rule the world and everyone else doesn't matter.

If there is a one-term president that B. Hussein Obama most brings to mind, it is not George H. W. Bush, but Jimmy Carter.

Oops, I misread the link not all these taxes are in the healthcare bill they were just proposed at one time or another - at least I hope they're not in it. But who knows what is really going to be in the final bill. God help us if they ever pass a VAT tax.

And AF they never said no new taxes, quite the contrary they promised them. Hopefully Obama will share Poppa Bush's fate and be a one term President :)

Maybe they learned it from ole "Read my lips--no new taxes" Bush!!
