McCain, Flake, Corker and Peter King support RAISING TAXES in VIOLATION of campaign pledges not to!!
ZOMG! You mean politicians lied to us?! (/sarcasm)
has it sunk in yet that neither party in any branch or level of government care what any of us think? If the dems had the votes they would repeal the entire bill of rights tomorrow. The GOP would immediately denounce this as too extreme and offer their plan to phase it out over two years instead.
What I hope (more than truly suspect) is that these guys are saying this crap merely to stop the scumbag Democrat newsrooms from painting them as "intransigent" and "unwilling to compromise". That is, I'm hoping the talk by some Republicans about tax hikes being "on the table" is a public relations puff and nothing more. As far as I'm concerned, let's go over the cliff rather than cave.
The Republicans should ALREADY be talking about how "intransigent" Ubama is, and they should be shouting to the heavens that Ubama is "failing to lead". You KNOW the scumbag Democrat newsrooms are focused on how they can smear the GOP House, so the pubs better launch a brutal counteroffensive immediately and repeat the mantra, "Ubama's fault, Ubama's fault, Ubama's fault..."
You left off Saxy Chambliss — he too has moved left. GA people may not yet know this.
