“... and I met them more than halfway on spending...”

Oh wow! I thought this HAD to be satire....

• How 'Cliff' Talks Hit the Wall

  [snip] At one point, according to notes taken by a participant, Mr. Boehner told the president, "I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?" "You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free." [/snip]

wrong target/circular firing squad dep't:

• Boehner: Election a 'mandate to work together' with Dems (Time for Conservatives to part ways)
• Boehner, GOP Leaders Purge Conservatives from Powerful Committees UPDATE: Boehner Scoffs
• IT'S PARTY TIME! Third Party, that is, Tea Party, to be Exact!
• Conservatives removed from financial committees by GOP House leadership
• Goodbye GOP
• The Last Chance for the Republican Party
• Boehner caves on taxes (the GOP will get nothing and we will get higher taxes now or later)
• Next Move Is Obama's After Boehner's Tax Plan Fails (McConnell preparing to surrender?)
• Kristol: It won't kill us if we raise taxes on millionaires (Shut Up Bill!)

I know! Let's refuse to support Boehner and let the Demagogic Party change the filibuster rules! That'd *serve him right*!

The only reason he “pushed off” his tax plan was so he could play class warfare in an election year.

Perhaps it would be best for the capitulators to have done so in 2010 instead of 2012.

My prediction is they will come up with a “deal” in between Christmas and New Years — when they think we the sheeple aren’t paying attention.

That’s DC for you. Really time to have a new Speaker who’s an unashamed conservative. The RINOs are destroying the GOP.

Barack the Kenyan is a flippin’ liar.

“I Met Republicans Halfway On Taxes, More Than Halfway On Spending”

We can talk modest tax increases for those earning over $10 milllion/year after federal spending has been certified to have decreased for the previous two consecutive years, by an independent auditor. Further, the Federal reserve will be fully audited, and any attempt by the Fed and the President to provide “back door” off budget funding through debt monetization or other such trickery will be considered a felony punishable by 25 years in prison. Further, any citizen will be given automatic standing to file suit against the President and the Fed governor if they violate the terms of the spending cut agreement or conspire to do the same.

Of course, not going to happen. There simply will be no reductions in federal spending until staunch constitutionalists are elected as a majority in Congress and the Senate. Furthermore, there is absolutely no control or accountability over what the Fed does.

President Wimpy, “I’ll gladly cut spending tomorrow
for a tax increase today.”

More propaganda from the affirmative action White House.

When the “Won” makes a proclamation , it is so!

Will he perform yet another miracle and feed the whole country with his 12 loaves. Please do it Saint Obama!

[thirst4truth]

And so how long can we keep on with this daily hypnosis?

Well after 4 years, really 6 years since the dems took over the house and senate Jan 2007 and started the spending. The exit pols from the election claimed 60% of the electorate, according to the "media", blamed Bush for the economy!!

The Kenyan trash; the vulture of Islam; is telling the truth. May we live to defecate on his grave.

( this comment would be removed by moderators and I would be getting a visit from the secret service had it been made)

[AmericanExceptionalist]

Basically, President Obama wants to increase taxes now, in exchange for the promise to talk about our cutting entitlement spending later.

And even those "cuts" would merely be attenuations in the projected increases, according to what is known (in Washington-speak) as "baseline budgeting"...

Say what you mean.
