could be a brilliant move by Boehner given obama’s growingly apparent strategy to go off the cliff and blame it on the GOP, rather than “negotiate” in good faith
sell it sell it sell it GOP
make your plan easy, a reasonable compromise, a tax on true “millionaires” which GOP MUST note may damage the economy but is what obama demands so obama owns it
sell it day and night to the public
then let Congress go home for Christmas and let obama and Harry Reid sit in the WH with a plan to sign or not, while Mooch flies off to Hawaii without him and leaves him a note to walk the dog
That’s exactly what I was thinking. However I would add something to the effect of, “without knowing what our budget looks like because the Senate hasn’t put one forward, we have no idea what to tax. So until that budget is in place, all new funding, which includes Obamacare will be put on hold.”
Then go home for Christmas.

Exactly. We need to outflank the dims. Yes it will hurt the country to raise any taxes but the focus should be destroying the dims.
Barry wants to go over the cliff because there is no other way to get those defense cuts. So if we give up the “tax the rich” card and the dims don’t agree it just shows what they really want. Defense cuts, wealth redistribution and tax increases on the middle class.
