Ha! This coming from the same place where every Republican, sans Sarah Palin, is called a RINO or CINO at least once. Fact is the GOP was winning this argument. We had Obama over a barrel. We should have held out for a permanent extension for as long as possible.

Tell me, how does a minority in both the House and the Senate have a sitting administration "over a barrel"?

And how does putting a future extension of the Bush tax cuts onto the calendar for Sept-Oct 2012 compromise our position?

In this case, a minority party forced a majority party and a sitting President to approve of something they didn't want to do. And it wasn't a just to score political points, it was "the right thing to do" for the country.

Yes, indeed. We are "winning the argument". But we haven't won the war. Not yet.
