It’s kind of a two edged sword really.
Allow the taxes to go up in 2010, and Obama refers to it as an issue the Republicans bought into as much as Democrats did.
Doesn’t that eliminate your ability to say it was Democrat policy that failed?
Well in a case like this 2010 you yell and scream and warn and all vote against it but you let Dems get it past the Senate filibuster like Grahamnesty did Kagan.
So if Dems extended some of the tax cuts at end of 2010 Rs scream ‘they raised taxes’ and vote against it but not block it.
No, you cant shake Os hand and say it was a great bipartision agreement and then later demonize it like Ryan did the debt extension. THAT WAS STUPID! no wonder they lost again.
If the taxes go up now O is already in again.
