Don’t get your hopes up - some rules thing, according to Rush.

[Halls]

Hmmmmm.

[Lazlo in PA]

Good. Delay it till the new congress is seated. Get these losers out of DC now.

[Reagan69]

It’s all a show.

They will pass it.

[Cicero]

Pelosi and Reid have pulled every trick in the book, including the dirty ones and the unconstitutional ones. The GOP MUST fight back RIGHT NOW, or they are history.

No more promising to have bills read on the floor, and then breaking the promise. No more damned surrender.

[camle]

um... at the risk of being picky, that’s not a siren, it’s an emerrgency light. sirens are the ones that make the noise.

Petty Please let the Tax cuts expire.

[MNGal]

I thought he also said that the Dems probably didn’t have the votes to pass it yet, and held the vote (citing a rules issue)?

[RitaOK]

A lunch break?

[Crawdad]

emerrgency

I... can't... do ... it.

[carton253]

Do you just go from thread to thread posting “lunch break”? :>)

[GoCards]

just drama from Dems. moving on.... My fear the whole damn package of Tax Cut bill, Omnibus, START treaty, DADT and whatever else will pass while we all wait for Santa.

I hate Democrats

Many House Democrats want to impose a higher estate tax, bringing back the levels in place in 2009. They persuaded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to allow a vote on the change, arguing that the higher estate tax would affect only 6,600 of the wealthiest estates, and would save $23 billion.

Don't you just love the way that is worded. It's not her $23 billion to save. It's our money for Nasty to try to steal.

[GoCards]

oh and I forgot Dream Act too.

[Vaduz]

They must need more time to exchange presents.

[camle]

LOL~! us old, fat guys can’t type. I get yer point;-)

Listen up!

This is a big deal. There is a left wing contingent who wants to raise the estate tax in the deal. Pelosi expects the GOP to vote against this and NEEDS the Democrats to ALSO vote against it.

Her goal is to get the bill passed WITH NO CHANGES. She doesn’t like it, but that’s the only way to avoid conference — WHICH TAKES TIME.

So the GOP should VOTE TO INCREASE THE ESTATE TAX. They should vote to MAKE CHANGES. Force it back to the Senate for another vote. The Senate GOP, even the moderates, will FILIBUSTER ANY CHANGES.

THIS IS THE ONLY STRATEGY THAT STOPS DADT AND DREAM ACT. This bill MUST BE FORCED BACK TO THE SENATE TO EAT THE CLOCK. So the House GOP should VOTE TO INCREASE THE ESTATE TAX. They SHOULD VOTE WITH THE LEFT WING IN THE HOUSE.
