I appreciate you asking :)
Stop negotiating, and no passing tax increase bills in house
Pass the partial extension <$250K and send to Senate, if you like include another bill extending >$250K with it.
Get on TV and let voters know you (House Rs) saved (middle class) voters from a tax increase
Declare on TV the Obama crisis is over
Then daily Beg Obama (show for voters) ON TV to NOT raise taxes on job creators, tell voters you did everything your power to stop him from doing it and why it will be bad for this country. Dont worry, Voters will automatically give Obama credit for raising those taxes even though they are automatic, he cant get out of that if the economy slows.
Let everything else go over the cliff. No restored spending, no stimulus, no nothing (the debt limit will be another tough fight I wont get into here) .
You made your tax bed Dems. Blame every problem for the next 4 years on those Obama tax increases
Thanks again :)
Here’s one I pointed out a week ago or so,.
If Obama gets these taxes to go up (which he will as they are automatic) and for whatever reasons voters think the economy has improved in the next few years, for whatever reason (many things can happen), then Republicans are screwed.
This is what happened under Clinton.
But if the economy is still crap or gets worse than Republicans got an issue again.
Let’s see....what is the only part of this the Democrats have been talking about? Oh, yeah, the Middle Class tax cut. So we give them that. And then we try to take the credit? Yeah, the liberal media will do that.
Just so I can tune in - which media outlet is going to carry the Republican message to the voters. We should have tried this plan 4 years ago.

You must accept that this will NEVER happen! No matter what January brings, even if it is the end of the world, it will be blamed on Republicans by pop media: the only kind of “news” dissemination that has influence with the majority of Americans.
Meanwhile back at the next campaign - every single Republican will receive the criticism that ended George Bush 41’s political career. Remember: his pledge was “no new taxes” and then one of his own advisers convinced him that a “little tax increase in order to cooperate with Congress” was a good idea.
The only thing that GHWB is remembered for is his renege on his pledge.
You’re missing the #1 point. The ONLY reason we are having a crisis here is because the debt ceiling is about to be reached. The rest is of no consequence to this administration.
