Republicans should announce that they will NOT oppose a tax increase.
But they should name the bill something like "ObamaCURE - a bill to solve all the country's problems."
But when the vote comes up, every Republican should vote PRESENT.
As soon as the Democrats realize that the upcoming fiscal collapse will be blamed entirely on them, they will quickly change their votes and the thing will be defeated.
but wouldn’t that make them just as guilty, or like if they didn’t care?
I like that.
When the vote comes up every Republican should vote PRESENT.
That was the usual vote of Obama when he was in the Senate.
