[Second Amendment First]

“The die is cast now,” said Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), who last week circulated a letter signed by 54 Democrats urging opposition to the bill. “Once the president entered into that agreement with the Senate Republicans even while talks with the House were supposedly under way, that set the tone for the weekend, and now you got Americans excited about a trillion dollars that is going to be, in effect, given away.”

Welch said a debate over changing the legislation is now “academic.” “The bottom line is that it is a fast-moving train, and that has become clear, and Washington is doing what it is finding easy to do,” he said.

BS

They have NO RIGHT to do this before the incoming Congress arrives.

Why the hurry?

Because what they are doing is wrong and immoral and a fraud and a cheat.

What is he smoking? No one likes this bill except those inside the Beltway. Porkulous III ... another $1T gone up in flames. There are NO TAXES CUT but there is a DEATH TAX INCREASE.

Party leaders were debating on Tuesday whether to bring up amendments to the bill for a vote

What BS. They ALREADY AMENDED IT!!! There were over 70 pork additions added to the so called "compromise" including ethanol subsidies. The GOP is like Lando:

"This deal is getting worse all the time"

RE :”Agreeing to the Senate-passed legislation, however, would be a bitter pill for House Democrats to swallow after their unified action last week. It would likely be seen as a final capitulation for a chamber that has been forced to defer to the Senate repeatedly during the 111th Congress, most notably when it passed the upper chamber’s version of the healthcare law in March. “

I was amazed that Pelosi got them (house liberals) to vote for Obama-care and moderates to give up their seats for it. They hated that bill and still do. Here's another of those fun cartoons showing the frustration with Obama:

Gee, who’s now the party of “NO”?

The President has surrendered and looks week. Across the board tax cuts? Check. Cut in the death tax from 55 to 35 percent? Check. These need to be lowered even more but Obama has legitimized the conservative agenda. Now the GOP House must build on these achievements and make them permanent.
