Republicans poring over a 1,924-page spending bill proposed by Democrats to cover the rest of the fiscal year are threatening to ground the legislation to a halt, citing hidden earmarks and massive spending that would be enacted into law without a review process.

Good. Kill this monstrosity and pass a clean tax bill in January. Make the rates retroactive to Jan 1.

End of story.

Make a big stink about this Repubs! Put up a fight and do not even think about caving! Read the Bill on the floor. Each repub should take turns reading it not some professional speed reader.

[Jim Robinson]

Vote it down! No compromise! No deal! No pork!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

[andy58-in-nh]

Agreed - kill this abomination and start over in January, without so many of those %$#$%!!!s who created this mess in the first place.

Obama and the Democrats thought they were being so clever - he pretends to compromise and they pretend to be angry about it.

Two words: Bull. Sh!t. I say it was a set-up from the start.

Wait until January 3rd. Let the American people know now: first order of business - the GOP House will vote to make the current tax rates permanent and retroactive to January 1st. Let the Senate leadership think about that over the holidays.

The Republicans just need to tell the Democrats the American people FIRED you in November.. so we are just going to filibuster EVERYTHING until January, so you might as well all go home for Christmas!

[Arm_Bears]

Get on with it, then!

"Vote it down! No compromise! No deal! No pork!!

Bump, this is exactly what the GOP promised NOT to do! How quickly they forget why they were elected. No damn better then the Rats.

[who knows what evil?]

...a 1,924-page spending bill...

Kill this dead...why the hell are we even considering a bill drafted by FIRED employees of the people?

[Don Corleone]

KILL the BILL

[RitaOK]

YIPEEEE!!! And we thought those closed door meetings working for compromise were the last word and a sweat.

McConnell is in charge of nothing, actually, with Republicans like these willing to step forward. RINO’s OUT!!!!

2012. Be responsible or be gone.

[Osage Orange]

KILL THE BILL!!

[roadcat]

Kill it! Democrats are plain evil. It’s not that they don’t get it that regular folks hate the massive spending - the Dems don’t care and are plain a**holes!

[paul51]

Good. Kill this monstrosity and pass a clean tax bill in January. Make the rates retroactive to Jan 1. End of story.

They are actually talking about another monstrosity. You are correct though. The tax bill is a monstrosity in itself and deserves the same treatment

[animal172]

We can hope and pray that our side heard our voices in November, but I’m not real optimistic.

[Irenic]

kill the bill

[servantboy777]

The republicans have the power now to stall this thing.

Wait’em out and reintroduce after the 1st.

[kevao]

why the hell are we even considering a bill drafted by FIRED employees of the people?

An excellent question!

[Balding_Eagle]

That’s what we get when the Rpeublicans CAVE in to the Dems too quickly.

They should have kept haggling on everything for another several days/ weeks.

As it is, we’re screwed, all this ‘brave’ talk of killing it isn’t even worth the sir it takes to say it.

We’ve got a bunch of stupid and weak representatives.

2012 primaries can’t come soon enough.
