PAUL: Why don't we let the Democrats pass whatever they want. If they are the party of higher taxes, all the Republicans in the House vote present and let the Democrats raise taxes as high as they want to raise 'em. Let Democrats in the Senate raise taxes. Let the president sign it, and then they can own a tax increase, and when the economy stalls, when the economy sputters, when people lose their jobs, they know which party to blame, the party of high taxes. Rand Paul is sick of libs ???

Rand Paul is sick of libs ???” A while back I proposed a very similar cynical idea.
I said that at least in the Senate the Republicans should attach to every lib bill a poison pill amendment like this and then vote against it. Just add all kinds of crazy extremist stuff like reparations and force Dems to vote on it, and then vote against it..
Sound crazy?
Well Dems did similar to the R majority in the House in 2006 on immigration.
Dems know how to win. Rs know how to whine.

I also had another cynical idea to pass the extension for only <$100K to see what Dems would do. Then blame O for the taxes going up above that, If taxes have to go up it would be best if they appear to hurt rather than help the economy, but that only works if Rs don’t get blamed for it.
(OH, and if you have an R POTUS and he cuts taxes then you need the economy to improve not crash, to make the case)
But the suicide wing of the R party seems to want to do nothing (no extension), let them ALL go up so the economy crashes because they are sure that Obama will get blamed instead of them, unlike all the other times he didnnt get blamed.
