No matter how badly this ends -- and it will end badly, mark my words -- the Republicans are going to get blamed for the mess.

It doesn´t matter what we do or don´t do, we will get blamed, and the MSM will blast that message day after day until the populace starts lynching every Republican they can find.

This country died on 11-6-2012. The sooner it implodes under it´s own rot and corruption, the sooner we can start to rebuild (or at least our new masters, the Chinese or the muslims can take over and get it over with)...

More fanning the flames by an African-American Democrat. Highly irresponsible speech, but of course he gets a pass.

(Typo: It´s from the Washington Times)

1. He must be black.
2. Obama has made me a racist.
3. Delaying decision on who to side with until all wars are disclosed. Civil War. Tax Revolt.

...Class War.

Obama has planned since day one for the Bush tax cuts to expire and the revenues to increase. He grudgingly allowed them to be extended only with some major redistributionist twists. He has signed a bipartisan law to increase taxes for everyone Jan 1 and rein in entitlements over the decade. The unhappiness of the middle class will be nothing compared to the anger of the poor. But the Democrats no longer have the courage to fix the monster they created.

All Dem politicians have the moral depth of a 6 year old child. Black Dem politicians are worse.

If you read the article carefully, notice this little gem: Coleman predicting ´there would be civil unrest if congressional Republicans fail to agree to extended tax cuts for the middle class.´ Yea, right. Agree with Obama, or we´re going to burn down the town, & then blame the Republicans. Yes, the country signed its own death by slow torture agreement on 11-06-12. This is only the beginning folks.

Is Obama really willing to cause this kind of unrest over $85 billion???

Let it expire. Let taxes go up for everyone. Let the cuts have to be made. You are gonna get blamed anyway.

Immediately in the next session of Congress, put together a tax reform bill that lowers tax rates for everyone, and closes loopholes, cuts capital gains taxes, eliminates AMT, and eliminates the inheritance tax (or at least lowers it), and neutered ObamaCare taxes No new entitlements, no silliness, just a straight forward simplification of the tax code, and sane rates. Then let Reid and Zippy say why they are stopping lowering tax rates and make the tax system simpler and more "fair".

Idiots.

This is Obama´s boys, after being encouraged to create rage riots in the streets by the POTUS! Stupid,stupid stupid!

Hasn´t anyone in the MSM or DNC noticed what was preached as Taxing The Rich was defined before the election as millionaires & billionaires... and now he´s talking of taxing the rich at $250k & up!

Another cutsie trick = Obama measures being rich by your net worth... not your annual salary. Get ready for massive taxation of anyone who isn´t on welfare.

Must be that illustrious mayor from Columbus foresees his job in jeopardy if Bush tax rates go up because he would have a hard time selling more tax increases for Columbus residents.

Liberals are always running around with their hair on fire saying tax cuts don´t work,add to the deficit etc. But here you have Obama wanting an extension of the payroll tax cut which is robbing SS and medicare and now this goon pushing for middle class tax cuts.

The reason is simple. The people who will get hit hardest by the middle class rates going up are high middle class earners that are either government or private union members.They don´t want to contribute to Obama´s social justice schemes that are costing billions.

For this reason and others,Boehner has more leverage than people think.The 3% rate increase is an Obama thing. Rank and file dems don´t want it because people in their district will get hit.You´re already seeing cracks in Obamacare because of a backlash on medical device taxes at least,,which I think hurt mass. but other states as well.

Medical devices could actually save money over conventional treatments,so it makes no sense at all to super tax them.

I said Boehner should pass a free standing bill extending the middle class cuts and maybe a 13 week unemployment extension,then go home and let the senate deal with the tax on the rich. It won´t pass there,trust me.

Bush´s tax cuts for the rich will expire. We will be back to the Clinton tax rates, when everything was great. I thought this is what all liberals were fighting for.
