Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio), an outspoken budget hawk who is not afraid to buck his party, is leaning against voting for an extension of tax cuts passed under President George W. Bush.
“My gut is probably no,” Voinovich told The Hill. “I think I would probably not vote, period, for it.”

Good God. This guy is a moron. The difference between Democrats and RINOS seems to be that Dems don’t actually believe their BS. They KNOW that the Bush tax cuts actually lowered everyone’s taxes and that raising taxes at this time is economically disastrous. These idiot RINOS actually believe tax cuts are simply a loss of revenue.
These RINOs just don’t get it.
They like the liberal commies they are in league with must go.
How many Democrats in Congress are "not afraid to buck their party?"
...kinda makes ya think what kind of skeletons this clown has hidden away
And this is just another example of why it is critical to flush these RINOs!
RINOs, the Vichey Republicans. How much more harm will they be allowed to do?
another lifetime politician who doesn’t have a frickin’ clue on what’s going on in the real world.
Pure arrogance just like Obama.
Precisely why you see the rise of the tea party because tea partiers are comprised of moderates, democrats, cpmservatives, republicans and independents, of all races, colors and creeds, etc.

It will be so nice to have this guy out of politics. Any argument against representative democracy as the best form of government would have him as Exhibit “A”.
On second thought, there would be lots of competition for Exhibit “A”, but he would certainly be in the running.
RINO dung.
$785 Billion in increased govt tax revenue from 2004-2007, the largest 4 year tax revenue increase in US govt history
20% increase in stock prices
$15 Trillion created in new wealth
Economy expanded by 8 million jobs
The rich paid an even greater share of all federal income tax, because when the rich get richer, they pay more tax- d’oh
Please ask Senator George which of these effects he does NOT think might result now, and why.
Ask him whether the govt taking more money from the pockets of citizens and employers will create results anywhere near this?
and please share his boilerplate answer about “reducing the deficit” by cutting up a tiny chicken instead of feeding it and growing it bigger.

Who bought and paid for George? THAT’S what I’d like to know.
Ping...
Thank you Ohio! NOT!
I've followed George Voinovich since he was Mayor of the City of Cleveland and then a two-term Governor.
He always did leave extra funds in the budget.
This does not surprise me. That's why he's doing it.
I don't agree, though.
BTW, don't judge me by Cleveland. I live in the #4 county in the nation in which to raise a family according to Forbes Magazine, which is two counties away. It's the only red county in northeast Ohio.
We don’t call him “Voinofabitch” for nothing.
BTW, his current position is impossible to distinguish from the position of John McCain, who voted against the tax cuts in the first place.
For starters he's no rocket scientist. But that's not exactly hidden.
At any rate there is a bright side; we'll soon have Rob Portman in his place.
