I think I know what the Republicans are doing who voted Yes. They view this meaningless resolution as mere gamesmanship by Harry Reid. So they're playing a game in response to Harry's game: they're voting Yes on the resolution just because voting No doesn't look good in MSM news reports, but later on they're going to vote No on any actual bills to increase tax rates.

In effect, they're giving Harry the finger and telling him they're not going to fall into his media trap by voting No on this resolution. But watch what happens from here--they will vote against actual tax increases. So I wouldn't make too much out of this vote...it's all a game in the senate.

I’ll be surprised if they actually vote “No” Many of them are constantly on the wrong side of every issue
