Is ‘doing what is good for the country’ really a guise, or is it just facing reality?

I’m starting to wonder if they are also going to reneg on their last recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Yep.

None of these people should ever expect to be trusted on anything again.

Good, it will give us a lot of time to find somebody to run against these RINO’s in the 2014 primary.

With all due respect, the question is NOT whether or not to raise taxes.

Instead, the question is whether:

(1) to raise taxes by default, when the Democrats push America over the “Fiscal Cliff” — which will allow the Democrats to blame the Republicans for causing the economic catastrophe that results, which Obama wants to do —

or

(2) for Republicans to “allow” the Democrats to raise the taxes they say they “need” to “fix” the economy — which will allow Republicans to blame the Democrats for the economic catastrophe that results: “We told them that raising taxes in a recession would make the recession WORSE!”.

Which scenario will produce a better election result for America in 2014?

Ready or not, the 2014 campaign has already started....

It was reported last week that Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) broke from his conservative colleagues when he stated on WMAZ-TV, "I care more about my country keeping my job in the senate than I do about a 20-year-old pledge."

Well — elections have consequences.

Oh wait — he was elected on a no tax hike pledge.

Never mind.

I don’t see how option 2 is possible as you know darn well (according to MSM sources who do not wish to be name), ALL problems are due to Rs. All that is good has been crafted by the mind and hands of Lord Obama.

This is NOT leadership, rather it's cowardice in the face of pressure and evidence of A$$ covering of the lowest order!!!

These guys are barely Republicans without any principles but their own self-agrandizement.

They know full well that spending IS the problem and new higher tax rates will NOT solve THE problem whatsoever!!!

Email any friends, acquaintences or relatives (even business associates) in the jurisdiction these RINO's represent and ask them to help pull the covers on these chicken crap actions... If they haven't got time to call their slimey rep, ask if you can call instead at their request of your friends, acquaintences or relatives.

Always find time and opportunity to express your pleasure with any representative you find standing up to the new/increased taxes/rates as an affront to THE PROBLEM of SPENDING, not too little taxation.

Even non-Tea Party members and supporters know we're Taxed Enough Already and cuts in spending must not be just on the last increase.

We should all be more interested in cutting the budget back to Clinton levels, rather that going back to Clinton taxation levels. There's a huge and far more meaningful difference!!!

I’m surprised it only took three weeks after the election to cave in.

You want Republicans win elections in the future? You want to see Reagan-sized landslides again? Then make people realize that a vote for Democrats comes with a price tag. If Obama wants to raise taxes, let him. This will create what the libs call “a teachable moment”. And if the tax increases are structured in a way that disproportionaly hurts the Democrat constituencies (New York liberals, Hollywood, etc.), so much the better.

They think that becoming more like Democrats is going to gain them something amongst the 47+%.

I am saying right now that there ain't no way as long as they retain the name Republican. If the RINOs want to save their jobs...look for some of them to switch to Democrat.

...the 47%, ignorant, uneducated and oblivious, are still out there and now that they have proved their numbers, their numbers can only increase.

This will be a great exercise on "separating the sheep from the goats" ...

Unfortunately, your post assumes truthful and unbiased reporting of the situation by the media.

We all know it’s STILL Bush’s fault, right?
