2012 will be time to clean em all out. RATS, RINO’s and So called conservatives.
Give me a credible Tea- Party candidate in my district and I will vote him or her.
NOT John Duncan!

Perhaps this revenue that Kyl mentioned is being raised by closing unproductive tax loopholes, not increasing tax rates.

A rose by any other name..........Tax is a tax, is a tax.

[jla]

To 3 - Yeah, sure.

Back door tax increase w/o any fundmental Medicare reform?

Paging Governor Palin....

[Clintonfatigued]

If the tax loopholes are frivolous and contribute nothing towards economic growth, like tax breaks for corporate jets or wealthy horse racers, why not do away with them? Sacrafices need to be made to get the debt under control.

[Oceander]

Increasing user fees for services that are already subject to fees to the levels where a private business would have priced them is not a “tax increase” - it would represent one of the few fiscally responsible things this sorry, silly government has done.

Also, if you think that we’re going to get comprehensive medicare reform as a predicate to raising the debt ceiling, you’ll be waiting a long, long time.

[Noumenon]

They will be remembered.

Mark Levin says he’s trying to get him on his program

[Marathoner]

The problem with the lesser of two evils is that the lessers get less and the evils get more evil.

[Diogenesis]

More Taxes AND Incredible new Taxes disguised as “fees”
(in the RomneyWING way).

[PreciousLiberty]

“If there is a user fee of some kind and we want to raise that to keep up with the times, that’s revenue.”

“User fee” is another name for “tax”!

This country is being taxed to DEATH, very literally.

We need a relaxation of regulation, and lessened taxes, so American ingenuity may thrive again!

2012 will mark a turning point, one way or the other...

[blues-train]

Does our Republican leadership buy their white flags from France? We told them to fight, to hold fast, not to wimp out. This isn't negotiating, this is surrender!

[Mariner]

If true, they should not garner the vote of any Conservative in 2012.

End them.

Vote 3rd Party or don't vote.

If you ‘get the debt under control’, all you really do is allow them to borrow and spend more later.

[don-o]

Levin saying Kyl will have a statement. Rooters may have it wrong.

[Rational Thought]

Via Mark Levin, Kyl has stated the report from Reuters in wrong and will be issuing a statement.

[gnawbone]

Mark Levin just said that Kyl’s office said Reuters office has it wrong and he is releasing a statement correcting the matter.

Patience ......

[Don Corleone]

Over what period, 10 years? I hate how they use so many different time frames.

All is pure Barbra Streisand since this congress cannot actually specify what the next congress can or cannot do regarding spending. If the next gang of thieves wants to quadruple the debt they will regardless of what this gang of morons wants or says.

[UB355]

Has it wrong as I indicated.

[LaybackLenny]

If you ‘get the debt under control’, all you really do is allow them to borrow and spend more later.

DING...DING...DING...We have a winner.
