OK now that the Administration has caved on tax cuts why should Republicans stop there?

[Winterblues]

Why not increase the size of the cuts for the wealthy and make them permanent? If they are good for America lets make them even better by enlarging them and making them permanent..It should be a very easy task.. Obama has already signaled he will do whatever Republicans want...There truly is no concern for America, only Obama's political future....Adding 700 Billion to our Deficit at this time just so the extremely wealthy can get even more so makes all the sense in the world.. That is why Republicans were elected by the people with such a huge mandate...Empty the US Treasury and give it to those that have more money than God.....Makes perfect sense...:shrug:

1. Stop there? They're just getting started

They'll lay waste, as they always do, and the dem leadership will stand by, either hand-wringing, keeping their powder dry, or enabling, just like they always do.

7. AARRGG!

this is THE battle ... This is a winner, and a chance to bloody their friggen noses and take some of the steam out of them ... I just don't get how the dems are shaking in their boots over it ...

[Poboy]

16. You are correct. They will sell us out, like they ALWAYS do. -nt

[quinnox]

2. They won't, they are just getting started

Its only a question of how much capitulation Obama will give them, and intertwined with this is how interested he is in having a second term in office.

[Life Long Dem]

3. So we have the Repubs go against a temporary extension?

Sounds good to me. Point the finger at the Repub's for not keeping the tax cuts.

[Skink]

4. Feingold should announce his run now.

[jaxx]

5. Where is the bill passed in congress?

What date was it passed?

[tabatha]

6. This has been DEBUNKED !!!

please close this thread for misinformation

[Winterblues]

10. Obama has stated more than once he is willing to compromise

This has not been debunked and I will bet you almost any amount those tax cuts will be passed before the end of the year..

[phleshdef]

8. Stop spreading this debunked lie. It makes you just as guilty as the liar.

[Lochloosa]

9. I think you should read this post....Obama has not caved.

11. I never suggested they would go along with permanent extensions

I suggested that the Republicans should ask for that and go a bit further and ask that they even be enlarged... Obama has stated many times he is willing to compromise..Those tax cuts for the wealthy will be extended, and I am willing to bet on that.. They may be called temporary but they will be extended..

[emulatorloo]

12. Obama's plan gives rich people a tax cut on the first 250.000 (always has)

Maybe his compromise is to raise that to 500.000. I have no idea but my speculation is as good as the AP.

The only actual thing we have now is speculation and fraudulent huffington posts

[Winterblues]

17. I heard him (Obama) say the compromise was on it being temporary instead of permanent.

But it will happen...Bank on it.

[Romulox]

13. It's GOTTA be about time for another War "supplemental", isn't it?

[Winterblues]

14. Right after Wall Street and the Bankers issue their Bonuses..

15. Unrec'd for jumping the gun

And the shark. Man you are easily manipulated. Try getting facts from all sides before making up mind and running off at mouth.

[Winterblues]

18. So I take it you are against the Republicans asking for the tax cuts

to be larger and permanent? That is what this thread is about or did you not understand that?

[emulatorloo]

19. You are starting from something that hasn't happened yet "the Administration has caved on tax cuts"

That's jumping the gun.

So far all we have is typical DU word-parsing and conspiracy theories.

[treestar]

22. I am against the republicans asking for anything

unrec'd again for jumping the gun on my response!

Acting on impulse from unreflected feelings will get you nowhere in life.

[ixion]

21. Uh, press and/or PR releases from the WH are NOT 'facts'

and you might try a little civility.

[treestar]

23. Um, yes they are when the subject is what the WH is saying

[ixion]

25. Nope. What they say and how factual the statment are two very different things

to think otherwise is naive.

[SidDithers]

20. Unrec...nt

Sid

[DevonRex]

24. Unrecced because it's not true. nt

[ixion]

26. Not true... yet

Give him time.

[Winterblues]

28. What do you think Obama meant, and I heard him with my own ears

when he said he was willing to compromise with Republicans on tax cuts for the wealthy? Was he just bullshitting everyone?

[Kablooie]

27. Who's up for the blues against the grays war again?

And why the hey did the South pick GRAY as their side's color?
Geez.
Who could expect to win when you are all wearing gray?
