If the GOP ignores the conservative will of the people now, they are putting one foot in their own grave and are aligning themselves with democrats and the very issues voters turned out in November to oppose. RINOs and pubbies signing on to this are traitors and blatantly selling out constituents and independents who trusted them.
So, then, tell us how the GOP can get the Bush tax cuts extended without the approval of the Senate and Obama’s signature.
True,but the political reality is that the GOP does not control the agenda — not even in the House until January —nor preidential approval or veto. So they have to get what they can and hope for a senate majority in two years when items can be altered.
If we do NOTHING, all Americans get a massive tax increase.
So what is the ‘will of the people’ on this issue? Why is this deal, which continues current tax rates as should happen, ‘selling out’? I would have liked it made permanent. What would YOU have done?
