The left-wing would desert him in droves.

I doubt he will do this when he's been trying everything but officiate over a gay wedding to get the leftist sheep to the polls.

letting the tax cuts expire wouldn't cause all that much harm (except, insomuch as they hit small businesses),

Not that people like me would EVER matter to people like you...

Here’s the deal...there are five to eight states where such news would make a difference and the Republican chances of taking house and senate seats would be less. So if you wanted to maintain a one-seat margin in the house (if you were that desperate) and a seat or two extra in the senate (say 51 or 52 Democratic senate seats)...then this makes perfect sense.

It doesn’t help to form up your agenda for 2011...because the margins are way too close. But it’s better than nothing to step forward toward the 2012 election.

He can knock himslef out and announce a "massive tax cut" but it would be a momentary blip on the radar and not enough to save the 2010 elections. For 18 months, EVERYTHING the leftists infested Democrat party has done is "devil in the details"; and even then, we can't find those details out until AFTER bills are passed since no one in D.C. can read anymore.

Everything, I mean EVERYTHING over the past 18 months has boiled down to this: "Is it Good for America?". If it is, the Democrats will screw it up on purpose. If it is not, they'll jump in both feet first.

I stand on my belief, liberalism is a mental disorder.

Never happen. The same minds created the problem...are not capable of finding, understanding, or implementing the solution.

"I’m thinking he had a low GPA, majored in ethnic studies, got into Harvard on affirmative action or some combination of the above. I’d love to see those transcripts."

Why else would everything to do with this freak be hidden?

He's an 'empty suit', AA, PC president.

People are starting to see through this POS!!

even if he did there are still millions of unemployed out there who wouldn’t be hired the next week, so many lives have been ruined by this amateur at best

Cutting taxes is pointless if you don’t cut spending and regulation

a reversal on tax cuts would actually do it.

but that would require a rational pro-capitalist mentality which is impossible for libtards.

I believe he would repeal it after the election.

1. What you said makes way too much political sense for that bunch to do it.

2. I think Barry has lost so much credibility few people would believe he'd really cut taxes after getting past the election.

3. No way San Fran Nan and her moonbat caucus would vote for it.

He can propose it.

And I believe that the coming Conservative Congress will be happy to write the Bills and pass it for him to sign...

I believe if he promised tax cuts he would never deliver. For one thing he doesn't have the power to cut taxes, for another he would make the promise hoping to mitigate the election disaster and then after the election he would come up with some half a**ed excuse why he couldn't cut taxes.

Look back on all his "promises" and tell me how many he actually delivered on. Answer: 0.
