Fox has learned that Reps. Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Jim McDermott (D-WA) and Jay Inslee (D-WA) are crafting a letter to share with the House Democratic Caucus that would try to prevent the Speaker from bringing the tax bill to the floor.

They hope to get 60 signatures on their letter (which is still being drafted) and then force a vote in the caucus. DeFazio says he thinks that if a majority of House Democrats are against this compromise, they shouldn't bring it to the floor.

Here they go again...

[Sacajaweau]

Oh goody....We’ll have an all Republican house!!

[Libloather]

The lame ducks go home in a week and a half.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick...

Hey guys, why don’t you stand there with billy clubs if you want to stop her? It’s the Democrat way!

It can't happen soon enough. In the meantime, businesses and individual employers still don't know what their tax rates will be next year...

If Zero thinks he has headaches now, wait till January.

[Logical me]

Remember these communists pigs. Now is the time to really attack Pelosieeeeee.

Well now, that didn't take so long now did it? Mp> .

Lets see, there are also 63 Dems who won't have jobs as of January. In addition there is Mike Castle and a few other departing RINOs with an ax to grind. I don't think that number is a coincidence.

Silly Democrats, no one can make Pelosi do anything once she has made up her mind. No matter how destructive, stupid, or unpopular Pelosi’s agenda is...she will destroy anyone, including herself, to complete the feckless task at hand.

[Vendome]

Sweet!

Do it!

[Huskrrrr]

Talk about hostages.

[MEGoody]

Okay - let them take a stand against compromise. Then the Republicans can hang the “we raised middle class taxes” on them come election time.

[Pyro7480]

LOL!

Yep! But don’t discount the stupid factor, either.

Quack quack. the Lame Duck Dems are not going to pass anything in 2 weeks LoL.

[xzins]

They don’t have to pass anything to win.

The Bush tax cut is scheduled to expire on Dec 31 2010 unless something DOES pass.

So, if they can stall for 21 more days, then everyone’s taxes increase.

Don’t forget that this could have been the plan all along. Obama gets to claim clean hands, and the Democrats get to have their tax increases.

It was noted on another thread describing a riot in the South Korean parliament that one of the members suffered injury after being struck with a gavel.

Moral....

Don't take a billy to a gavel fight
