1. It's all BS
they will continue to be "temporarily" extended. Effectively making them permanent.

2. + 1
This country could fall into bankruptcy and the republican slaves would still endorse a tax cut for their masters.

5. Nothing is permanent
Any future congress can change anything when it comes to tax rates.

4. The 2012 campaign would be over by the time the decision had to be made, wouldn't it?

6. Candidates would have to make known their positions on extension of the cuts for top 2%
I suspect they would be asked this question repeatedly by the media--who seem to have a personal interest in extension of the Bush tax cuts for the top 2%.
