Republicans in the House are being(are) dumb (yeah I said it)

Another day another tax issue put forth in Congress. This time it was an extension to the 'no tax' ridiculousnessness (so ridiculous I had to invent a new word- I think..) that the internet companies currently enjoy. So they decided to give it another 4 years before examining the idea again (that's a looooooong time in the House). Now I understand that the internets (so aptly described by Senator Ted "Bridge-to-nowhere, Alaska" Stevens as a "series of tubes") is relatively new (geologically speaking) so to promote lower prices with a tax break (is 0 a break?) seems like a good idea (meh....) The bill passed 405-2, so it was unlikely any sort of partisanship was an issue (well there's a first time for everything). However Republi-dumbs as these reps. should be known (as opposed to Democr-awesomes), think there should be a permanent ban on charging local or state taxes on internet service, to help all those struggling small businesses (like AT&T or Comcast) survive in this cruel economic environment (wait Bush said the economy was goin' strong under his presidency... shit!).

Here's a thought. Maybe instead of not charging tax for internet service which, let's face it, is only used to look at porn and read stupid blogs (not this one of course) they shouldn't charge tax on education textbooks (school... yay!). Bottom-line, republicans are so blindingly big business that they actually consider ridiculous (see, using the same word from the beginning to tie the article together. That's literary cohesion... and I'm an ass) things like permanent bans on anything. How can someone be so asinine to think that times and society will never change? Then again, just look at the 2nd ammendment...
