It's a shame that the rest of the Senate doesn't have that kind of spine with this legislation. I just wish he would have found it during the immigration debate.

It's amazing what an election does to people's principles. Look at the Republican candidates who have shown to have disdain for conservatism on a normal day, all of sudden become a pillar of conservatism principles. [cough... McCain] It's a shame they can't hang on to them after the election.

I read the title and your name, then re-read them to be certain.

And to think Kyl is breaking from the LEADERSHIP and from "healthy" BIPARTISANSHIP. How dare he walked the hallowed halls of compromise where once strode giants like John Breaux?

Seriously, once again, Senator Kyl proves that he is the giant. And he has the perfect jaw to be the guy who stands stands athwart history demanding: "STOP IT!"

generally speaking I consider myself a supply side guy on taxes. I especially like low capital gain tax rates and low rates on Dividends.

Yet how does a supply sider view the tax credit for children? Does it encourage more children to be born? Should we flip flop this credit and instead of phasing it out over 120K per year we should phase it in? The theory there is we need more kids born to weathlier families and less kids born to poorer or middle class families? Should the tax code encourage this? There is a relationship in income and taxes paid by one's parents and oneself. The higher one's parent's tax burden stat wise the higher your tax burden will be. Its somewhat a matter of heritance, but its almost a matter of educational chances. Plus the higher one's parent's income is the greatest chance one has of being raised in an intact two parent home.

My point is that not every question about taxes can be answered in a supply side equation. Even if it could be answered that way no one would suggest that its good government policy to encourage rich people to have more kids and discourage poor and lower middle income people from having kids? I might add that Republicans have strived in recent years not to punish married people with kids in our tax code.

My Congrresswoman also voted against this goofy package in the House. I am very proud of her. Too bad she is retiring. She has to, really. She wouldn't win again. But we are losing a truly principled conservative in Congress from Wyoming. It is time for change, but it is too bad. She was a '94 revolutionary who never really lost her way . . . well, as much as the rest, anyway.

I'm glad to hear that the best Senator from Arizona is standing up for capitalism.

Oh yah? Well, guess what, Kyl voted for "Shamnisty" which obviously means he's La Raza's butt boy, and favors importing 20 million Democrats and the destruction of the Republican party and America in general. He also endorsed that Constitution-shredding RINO sellout Liberal McCain.

Therefore, he should be shot.
