As Rush correctly points out, the Dems know we're in trouble financially no matter what happens and they plan on dumping the resulting mess in the GOP's lap.

I've we're going over the cliff anyway, I say Boehner should give Obama everything he wants. Let him and the entire Democrat party own the coming crash. It's going to hurt bad, but the sooner we bite this bullet, the quicker we can begin the recovery.

I'm beginning to coming around to that line of reasoning.

I’m tired of these games. America wants Obama’s super-charged Welfare State? Fine. Let the “Bush” tax cuts expire — ALL of them, including the middle and lower class tax cuts. Force America to choose — do you want low spending or high spending with the taxes that go with it? Because we are at the point where taxes on the “rich” aren’t going to even come close to paying for our current level of spending. Does America want a big middle class tax hike or does it want to cut spending. That’s what Republicans should put on the table. Quit playing Obama’s game that this is just about a tax hike on the “rich.”

But will Republicans draw a line in the sand, or will they go along with tax hikes.

Seems to me the House already passed a budget to fix this problem, So the answer is simple. We already passed the budget in the House to avoid sequestration, maybe you should ask Harry Reid and the President if he intends to let Sequestration go through or Pass A Budget in the Senate.

but they wont cuz the media might say bad things about them

The GOP should make a good faith effort to achieve reasonable compromises. If we can get bills created that help the country, then (of course) the GOP should vote for them.

But if compromise is impossible, if the bills are looking bad, then the Republicans should "abstain" and allow bad bills to pass with nothing but Democrats voting Yes. That way the Left cannot point to bad law and say, "Hey, you guys voted for it too."

We're not helping the country when we lose elections. Maybe we should work toward helping the country understand that the Democrats -- and only the Democrats -- are taking us to a bad place.

I think Obama won with alot of luck (Storm Sandy) and people who like him didn’t’t want to see him fail. This time, he owns it all. Let’s hope the Gop plays hard ball and hits him at every legal turn they can because he is one corrupt person and set out to make USA , Europe. The media has orchestrated this entire change to America. The media is mostly responsible for covering for his lies and ail of the failures. We just didn’t’t have the base *totally* on board. It was not conservatism that failed nor is the country flipping liberal. A lot of the people who voted for him are dysfunctional(weird to go against America’s foundation to make America into THEIR version) Look at all of the states in which Liberal governors put their backwards liberal agenda in place. Personally, we need a revolt for action or to start playing hard ball with the socialists because we have to get those people who have given up to become interested once again. People are going to have to fight even harder and the GOP HAS to get a pro conservative candidate no more McCain lites so people will vote. There was always a poll that worried me that said about 34% (it got higher closer to election day) said they did not like neither candidate.

Forget about it. The Republicans should just step aside.The lowlifes have won.Sixteen trillion in Federal debt,trillions more in state and local debts, unprecedented dollar printing,a bizarre unchecked anti capitalist EPA spewing regulations, a health and job killing Obamacare ( a leftwing twofer),high taxes and low productivity. The barbarian Obama crowned by the demented and decadent.Living standards will decline and social tensions will lead to violence. the new trendy term is the “fiscal cliff.” Good comic term to describe the Obama clown parade rushing toward the precipice with their tattered “Its Bush’s fault” banners flying. Face it folks the country chose this barbaric fool and must suffer the consequences. The Republicans simply do not have the power to save the country.

If Republicans don’t go along with calls by President Obama for higher taxes

Hell with it. This is what the voters wanted... give Obama the tax hike he wants, then publicly hang it around his neck every single day.

The GOP should know by now that they will never win with the mainstream media. Every is issue with them is Heads, they win; Tails we lose.

Billboards advertising MSM as anti-American; a villain, a monster behind our enemies; the BB’s should be springing up across the nation.....radio and TV ads the same.....You can’t trust the MSM, Harry Reid, Obama, or any of the anti-US Constitutional left and until our nation is re-educated/we fight back the progressives will continue to trash the Constitution, religion and rights.

The problem with that (as we've found out in one party California) is that they'll just keep raising taxes as they believe that recovery is just one tax raise away...(only to dig us into a deeper hole as they spend that money)

Boehner should give obama everything he demands
This is what “the people” who voted democrat voted for

Give it to them, tell Harry Reid he won and he gets to run the economy his way and tell the democrats to man up and own it

Boehner must make this a public announcement on the steps of the US Capitol, invite Harry to share in the announcement. Provide an empty chair if he fails to appear (he wont appear, he knows the democrat “plan” will strangle the economy)

Boehner should watch how Lucy plays football with Charlie Brown...except give obama the football.

Those of us who did not vote for obama are or should be smart enough to be prepared for the consequences. The pain of higher taxes and possible economic depression will be the cost we pay to expose the bankruptcy of liberal economic policy. But it is time in our history to let the democrats HAVE THEIR WAY.
