Republicans are fighting to extend tax cuts for high earners with the intensity of a "holy jihad," a Democratic senator charged Monday.
Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-Del.) said he didn't see any room for compromise with Republicans on the extension of income tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of the year, blaming the GOP for being unflinching on tax rates.
"We talk about bending — it's incredible. There's no bending! Pick up your morning Washington Post and find out what Republicans are willing to bend on," Kaufman said during an appearance on CNBC. "This is like a holy jihad to keep the tax cuts going."
At issue are the tax cuts passed early in the presidency of George W. Bush, which will revert to their rates preceding the tax cuts, unless Congress acts. Democrats, led by President Obama, want to extend all the breaks except for households earning more than $250,000 per year and individuals earning over $200,000 per year.

Rather ironic the Dems refuse to use the word “jihad” when talking about our fight with Islamists but have no problem using it (completely inaccurately) to describe the right…
It isn’t jihad - it’s war, the old-fashioned American way! We, American citizens, are the enemy to the left.
But a jihad can be a good thing right? Or is this a bigoted skum?
Thay aren’t tax cuts! They are my paycheck you frikin’ morons! You assclown act as if it’s your money!
That’s their narrative. They’ve had the ‘buzz words’ handed down from Axelrod. Associate Palin, Tea Partiers, GOP with ‘terrorists’ for the couple of media cycles. This is quite hilarious to watch. Pretty transparent.
Crybabies are upset because they know most of their rino a##kissers will be history and they will not be able to get over, wah!wah!wah!
"We talk about bending — it's incredible. There's no bending!
A perfect example of a liberal displaying one of the core defining traits of a liberal...hypocrisy.
OK Ted...so the republican aren't bending...and you are? No, you're not bending either, now are you. You say "we talk about bending"...no, you talk about OTHER people bending, you don't do squat except lie.
It’s about time! And the next time Obama complains about the Republicans holding something hostage, there’d by gosh better be some real hostages!!
Well, I’m willing to bend a bit. I’d like to see non-DOD federal expenditures cut by 90%, but I might accept 75% as a good-faith compromise.

EternalVigilance: Democrats waging 'holy jihad' to trash the Constitution, alienate unalienable rights, kill babies, grant special rights to sodomites, raise taxes, destroy the private sector, kill jobs, control everything, compromise our national security, destroy our national sovereignty, endanger our friends and allies around the world, grant amnesty to tens of millions of foreign nationals who have invaded our territory, and line the pockets of their union constituencies with trillions of taxpayer dollars.
There. That's better.
A perfect example of a liberal displaying one of the core defining traits of a liberal...hypocrisy.
And not very plausible, when their party is led by Hussein:
I’d say that the “holy jihad” being waged is by democrats determined to confiscate 40% of the pay of successful Americans and most of the nation’s employers
so many useless pork projects and union pensions to fund, so little time
allu akbar, Ted
Worry Mr. Kaufman, your next.
“Well, I’m willing to bend a bit.”
I’ll bend a bit too. Let’s drop the “tax cut” only for people making $250,000 and up who are government employees.
And that's one of the biggest difficulties I have in "discussing" any topic with liberals on other boards...they simply lie at almost every turn, and apply hypocritical standards...both forms of dishonesty. It's one thing to deal with someone who doesn't understand the fullness of a situation, but when they don't understand, don't care to understand and cheerfully lie at every turn there doesn't seem to be any common ground we can meet at. It is that sort of anti-intellectual, anti-honesty stance of liberals that will drive this nation to a violent revolution if they don't obtain some wisdom, and sooner than later.

Well, that might happen, but I'd wager that Obama wouldn't want to go down in history as the president who dissolved the nation, so he'd quote Lincoln and call out the military...and the revolution would go from there.
And let me be clear, I sincerely hope it never goes that far...but I see the progressives seeking to crash the system...but they're not skilled enough to do so without the mess.
