Certainly. We have to suffer some time. Let’s do it while the democrats get the blame. That’s one bright—or not totally dim—spot in the elections: conservatives can no longer be blamed for events that are inevitable.
In a sane world, yes.
However
In THIS world, conservatives will be blamed no matter what happens, whose fault, time of day, cause, or effect. If it would potentially make dems look bad, it will be conservative's fault.
Bank on it.
Just doing nothing and letting tax rates go up is stupid. Raising taxes is exactly what they want. The more money they get the more they spend and the more power they have. It will set America back, make us poorer ... BUT will enshrine them in power.
If the Democrats are going to get what they want, you have to get soemthing out of it from them, and not throw in the towel.
Best thing would be to extend the tax rates for ALL Americans and challenge the President: tax increases for all or the same tax rate for all.
“conservatives can no longer be blamed for events that are inevitable.”
NOT TRUE. Just as they blamed Bush for the bad economy under Obama, they have been blaming the GOP House for failing to pass Obama’s awesome bills (puke). They WILL blame the GOP House for higher middle class tax cuts ... it will go like this: “Obama wanted 98% of Americans to have tax cuts and the GOP cared only about the 1% so they said no. GOP is to blame for higher taxes.”
Thats it. Doesnt matter if it is true or not.
