AP ^ | 09 December 2012 | Anne Flaherty

Bob Corker says he — and probably many other GOP senators — would consider raising the top tax rate paid by the wealthiest Americans if it meant reforming big entitlement programs such as Medicare.

Say it with me again, kids: We do NOT have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.

One by one, the GOOBers are surrendering to King Barack the Kenyan. What a disgrace. A two bit Chicago street punk has the entire GOP on the run. For the first time in my adult life, I’m embarrassed as hell...

Can’t understand why they don’t get it!!!! Raising taxes at all in the economy will make it worse!!!! Wealthy people hire people. They invest in the market and that helps businesses who also hire people!!! This is so frustrating to know that our phone calls, emails, and letters are being ignored. They’ve forgotten that THEY work for US!!!!

Howard Baker may as well still be the TN senator. Same old policies, just a different spokesman

Corker has been a spineless jellyfish from the start. Tennessee certainly must be embarrassed by this idiot.

So the Dems have the GOP arguing about the subjects they want to argue about. The government costs twice what they bring in in taxes, which means the government is twice the size they can pay for, and yet not one bureaucrat is facing the ax.

They’ll argue about saving a trillion over ten years while adding a trillion and a half every year to the deficit.

These people deserve the collapse they are causing, and so do the people who elected them.

I don’t deserve it though, and I need to find my way off the boat. The people just re-elected the iceberg as captain of the Titanic. Its going to get messy.

Not being a republican I am confused. Would somebody please tell me who the heck is the GOP and what do they stand for? All I see is a alcoholic in the house smacking his lips wishing for a drink during interviews, Lady Gramnesty, John McLame, and a few stray dogs running around with different messages about what the GOP is for or not for.

The republicans done even stand for representative government as far as I can tell. So many voices in the house have been silenced they might as well go home.

The question is not will the Republicans cave, but when will they cave.

Why we go to the trouble of electing Republicans is beyond me. We should just elect Democrats to begin with and get it over with because the Republicans will give them what they want later on down the road.

This coupled with the traitors and parasites returning obama to the White House makes me physically ill.

OK. But we also have a major stupidity problem. Not with those working but with those making the decisions.

Maybe John boner can go on food stamps and let someone willing to work and to take some hatred hits could move in. any Marine Cpl. could do the job.

You and me both, Kemosabi. It's just crazy to watch them get rolled by a two bit street punk.

Re: “Who the heck is the GOP and what do they stand for?”

We have no principles.

We have no plan.

We have no national leadership.

Amen. The Dem was a joke but there were about 10 candidates on the ballot. I voted for either the Constitution Party guy or Libertarian...don’t remember. Just remember I didn’t vote for Corker.

And won’t for Alexander if he runs.
