I’m disgusted by the democrats and their sycophant suckups in the media who have taken full advantage of this to blame Republicans.
Oh goodie! They’re gonna pick up the turd by the clean end, I guess....
No spending cuts, no deal. Shout it from the rooftops.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but my affiliation with the Democrat Lite Party is over come Wednesday.
Republicans and Democrats will see these actions create even less revenue as economic growth will continue to sink. Yet, Democrats will not pay the price at the ballot box. Instead Republicans, being the more hypocritical Party and obviously far less politically intelligent than their Democrat cousins, will suffer the blame.
At 12:00 midnight — less than nine hours away — the current Congress will be history. Every sitting Congressman and Senator will be out of a job when the ball drops in Times Square.
It’s impossible for a fiscal-cliff deal to be agreed to, then adequately studied, debated, and acted upon within such a short time.
When John Boehner presented his ‘’Plan B’’ last week, it included a provision stating that only those making more than a million dollars a year would have their taxes raised. But the majority of Republicans in the House rejected that.
Now, Obama’s new deal would require tax increases on many more earners since the threshold would be lowered to $450,000 at year. So how could the same Republicans who rejected Plan B be expected to approve Obama’s plan?
In any case, no honorable Congressperson, right or left, would approve a proposal on any issue vital to the future of America that was stuck in his/her face only mere hours before being required to act upon it. We’ll soon see how many honorable Congresspersons we have.
This is the end of the republicrat party. The outrage of conservatives will be white hot. McConnel is finished in KY and will lose his primary. Boehner will voice vote this CAPITULATION!! You watch. This is the most sickened I have ever been. Im finished with these bas^ar*s
Just heard Senator Corker say that they had a deal on the tax increases, but then Obama came forward and said that since now they will have more money in the treasury from the tax increases that they can now do without the sequestered budget cuts and wanted those off the table — a deal killer.
What I am surprised at is that he is surprised at this.
Yep - and they forget to mention that Clinton addressed a bunch of supporters and said that they might think he had raised taxes to mucch. His immediate follow-up was that he had indeed raised them too much...
