Boehner’s really coming out of the closet, isn’t he.

Boehner and McConnell have been in cahoots all along.

Boehner tou spineless little whimp, just adjourn the House and tell the Media you sent a Budget to Harry Reid already. Force the Senate to act accordingly.

No, the major unresolved questions has nothing to do with taxes. It involves spending cuts!!

Ed Morrissey at Hotair had this item, which indicates a few Republicans are ready to to the only honroable thing: vote only to extend the Bush Tax Rates, and nothng else. It makes the most sense..and forces Obama to have a huge fight with the debt celiing next year:

As the article states, the Administration has said that the House should go ahead and pass the Senate’s proposal, and then AFTER THAT, they will consider reducing spending.

Oh please, please, please tell me that Boehner is not considering that, too.

The Dems would get what they wanted in tax hikes on the so-called “rich,” and then go home for Christmas break (with the spending cuts never to be heard about again).

Is it really so hard to explain that a great number of people with relatively high incomes are not wealthy? Or that wealth and income are different things? Or that high income earners are the ones that already pay most of the taxes? Or that their ranks change from year to year?

No. But it's much easier to go along to get along, especially when you don't give a hoot in hell about principle and instead want to hold on to your phoney-baloney job at all costs. This is why political parties die.

Tie an extension of the Bush rates to the AMT patch. If Zero doesn’t sign the patch he will be raising taxes on 28 million Americans this year (2012).

WTF is up with you Rush?!?! Why don't you take the lead of your friend Mark Levin and go for Boner's jugular!

F-ing sad.

Honestly, I can’t think of one good reason why I remain a registered Republican.

They don’t run decent people in my state. They don’t run decent people at the top.

I’d be a lot better off registering in another party, and join with other former Republicans who had done the same thing, to vote against the worst of the worst Democrats.

Perhaps the lot of us could pressure that party to move back toward the center. We sure as hell can’t get our own party to.

Bohener “challenges” Obama to come to the table and tell him what to do.

So Zero can blame the GOP when it fails to raise revenue. We are doomed.

The “rich” already DO pay more taxes. A LOT more, in fact.

This rhetorical tool to paint a pretty face on the family mutt is pure, unadulterated bull sh*t straight out of the pages of Das Kapital.

Marxism has always been the favored poison of the American masses, as long as it’s tafted up with phrases like “fair share” and other such Leftist catch phrases.

Meanwhile, congress eats up the public weal like a hog at the trough, and NO ONE, EVER mentions cutting expenses or clearing away the sort of red tape regulation that keeps business from generating income.

It’s a power game, and government holds all the aces.

,,,,, in other words Mr. Bonerhead ,,, the rich will pass their tax increase along to the middle class as has been the case every time they have had a tax increase . As Leona Helmsley once said “ rich people don’t pay taxes “ .

This is no secret to anyone on congress .

The GOP has gone over to the dark side. they’ve become the right hand of the left wing. To these political scumbags, power and influence trump Constitutional law. Conservatives are on their own now, because they have NO reperesentation in government now. And everyone around here stands around and scratch their heads trying to figure out how Marx, Lenin, Hitler, and Mao pulled it off. Unforunately, all who read this are going to get a hard lesson on how fascism/communism works.

IMO, voting to extend the tax cuts for everyone but those over $250K is the worst thing the pubs can do. I say this realizing full well it means I will pay more taxes.

Instead, I’d let the all the tax cuts expire so everyone has skin in the game and I’d hang the SOB out in the breeze on the debt ceiling. Obama will give. He can’t afford to shut off the freebies
