poor Grover. End of the gravy train.
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.
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....
Well — elections have consequences.
Oh wait — he was elected on a no tax hike pledge.
Never mind.
OK, so where are the democrats off the “Don’t touch Entitlements” reservation?
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!!!
Weak willed wusses.
We need a major tax cut! Especially in this bad economy.
I despise all DemocRATS, but I hate most of the Republicrats!
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.
Combine this with the facts that Obamacare will remain intact, Susan Rice will be confirmed as SOS, John Kerry as SecDec and Benghazi will ultimately be swept under the rug, the RNC needs to tell us what the hell they stand for.
And just who put us in that situation?
For the Good of the Country? WOW, just WOW, so heartwarming to know you finally have the Good of the Country in mind now/sarc.
Which only means you never did before. Where in the heck did that "for the Good of the Country" language come from, been reading the DEM playbook?, always worked for them. Why are all you using the same line?
You don’t need a Weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
The Age of Big Government is here to stay. And the Pubbies wanna play too.
I’ve got news for everybody: when you vote to raise spending above revenue levels, you are de facto voting for future tax hikes. So Rethugs have been voting for tax hikes for ages.

These people are stupid. We don’t need tax increases for the “good of the country”
But Grover is stupid as well. In 2001, he supported the law which raised taxes in 2011. In 2010, he supported the law which raises taxes in 2013.
Now he wants to attack politicians who, seeing a huge tax increase coming in 2013, might vote to reduce the 2013 tax, because they might vote for something that won’t reduce taxes to their current values.
Sorry, the problem was the guys who passed the laws that allowed tax reductions to expire, not the guys who are looking at current political reality and trying to keep taxes as low as possible for as many people as is politically feasable.
Sadly, the result in any case is going to be more people who have too little skin in the game to care about how bad taxes get for the “rich”.
What we really need is tax increases for most people, so they will fight to keep taxes low. But you could never pull that off with Grover in charge.
Grover wants low taxes, and increased government spending in the form of support for massive immigration.
