The sooner America becomes like Greece the better, and blaming the other party won't matter.
Just as I proposed:
Liberal Onslaught Empowered By Republican Timidity

Put up a bill that repeals all the Bush Tax Cuts. Have all the Republicans vote against it.
Put up a bill that makes all the Bush Tax Cuts Permanent. Have all the Republicans vote fore it.
Put up a bill that repeals the Bush Tax Cuts on the top 50% of taxpayers. Have all the Republicans abstain.
Put up a bill that repeals the Bush Tax Cuts on the top 25% of taxpayers. Have all the Republican abstain.
Keep going until a bill passes that is the maximum tax increase the Democrats pass by a majority of DEMOCRATS.
Then, any and all Tax Increases are Democrats’ fault.
GOP used to have a line about “tax and spend” but now with Boner as leader its more like bend over and grin.
This is wrong.
It plays politics with our country and its economy. CongressCritters should vote for what’s right and what’s best for America, not just what’s best for their political aspirations or calculations. Sending America over the cliff because you think it might benefit you politically is unacceptable “representation” of the public.
And besides, the voters will see through it. Any CongressCritter who fails to vote against further tax increases at this critical juncture will get my NO vote in the next election. (Raising taxes even higher when we so desperately need a substantial tax cut is a prescription for economic disaster...). Enabling the Dems to destroy the country is not my idea of what should be in the Republican party platform.
The media will always blame the Right. All negative things are the fault of the Right.
Tax (revenue) bills have to originate in the House of Representatives.
The American people have voted a majority Republican delegation to the House.
Why can’t the Republicans in the House just vote out a substantial tax cut??? (which the American economy desperately needs if it is ever to reverse its downwards plunge...)
Then let the Dems (in the Senate and White House) do with it what they will....? (I bet the American public will bring so much political heat to them that Senator Reid INCREASES the tax cut! But even if that doesn’t occur, why can’t the Republicans in the House just vote out a responsible tax cut and let her fly... and we’ll see what “compromise” finally results... That’s how the Congress is supposed to work, after all. ...)
This is so wrong.
Rand Paul is placing the importance of political theater above the country.
And this is a poorly calculated gamble. It assumes that the press will be objective. It assumes that the North Dakota oil and gas boom won’t do anything. It assumes that Obama won’t manufacture a war.
Finally, by rolling over and letting the democrats have their way will change the GOP from the stupid party to the Seinfeld party...the party that’s about nothing.
It actually makes sense.
I got a better idea: how about Rand Paul and the other idiots pull their heads out of the butts and start FIGHTING for something?
Instead of surrendering, rolling over and dying for the liberal doggie biscuit, why don’t you a$$hole$ in Congress grow a pair and stand for something?
NO NEW TAXES - for ANYONE!
Once the repercussions start the media and the Dems will blame the Right for anything that will stick. They will do everything in their power to make people forget that the Repubs "gave in" and "went along with" the Dems plan.
The Repubs need a plan for what to say and do when the SHTF besides just standing around saying "I told you so".
Boehner should give 0bama a 24 hour ultimatum to get serious. When it expires and 0joker does nothing close the House session and force all the Reps to go home.
Rand Paul is sick of libs ???
