Here's what Republicans should say (repeated here) :
Dems won and they are for raising taxes.
The Bush tax cuts expire in December and President Obama has made it a point many times that he thinks that these Bush tax cuts are bad policy and he wants them to expire. He said they destroyed the economy. He ran on that and won.
So there is nothing we can do. The people have spoken. Our hands are tied.
But we still think its bad policy to raise taxes.
Then secretly ask O how badly he needs the House to pass something.
Lastly DON"T SAY STUPID STUFF in public like challenging O or in any way acting crazy. This past congress's GOP members have a great talent for giving Obama a big LOADED gun pointed at their own heads.
On camera : Act concerned, Act worried, Plead with Obama to think of the country first.
JEEZE! Are these Rs clueless??
great idea..but how do you get the message to r congressmen
