Did you listen to Krauthammer today. He thinks Obama is NOT interested in the fiscal cliff - he wants to destroy the republicans. Soooo republicans - don´t cave!!!

Obama wanted this crisis - he wanted everything to wait until after the election. This is his crisis. If he wants to go over the clifff - do it! Nov ´14 is light years away. The pubbies need to hire some GOOD PR people and counter Obama´s narrative.

Public relations is a very long way from leadership. He created this problem by failing to lead for 4 years. The Republicans would be well advised to wait for him to propose a detailed plan with buy-in from Senate Democrats. My guess is that it isn´t coming. The screams in January when the tax credit checks stop will be deafening.

Obama isn´t doing anything other than the script he was born with. The Republicans, and every US citizen for that matter, had better wake up to the fact this isn´t public relations or politics as we have known it. This is raw power and Obama is going to use it. They are going to cram their Marxist crap as far down our throats as they can. The Republicans should take off the gloves and tell their constituents the truth. They´re not even going to have a filibuster and the rules are out the window. This administration and the Muslim Brotherhood are two of a kind. Watch and see.

The "Keating 5" scandal yielded the following:

"Of course I {Charles Keating} thought my $1.6 million would buy me influence {to Senators}."

Taxes are access and influence. Without a voice {TAX} to the government, why should you be heard?

A call for fewer tax payers is a call to move from a Republic and move to FASCIST AUTOCRACY!

Welcome to the Cliff, lemmings!

I can´t imagine the republicans are listening to WE the people -- BUT -- stand firm....

obama wants another President George H. Bush deal. He gave in to the demorats and then got dumbed for his "read my lips".....

LZK

Whatever happened to "The President proposes, Congress disposes"?

The POTUS should be pressured to propose HIS OWN solutions first, then let Congress mess with it.

We are making the mistake of allowing the Democrats to place the onus on the GOP to come up with solutions. It´s not their job. Obama won. It´s his mess. He should propose a solution(s) and then the GOP can decide if it´s good or bad.

Why does the GOP permit itself to be pressured to come up with the first salvo? This is why we lose elections, because we cave to pressure. We´re going to get blamed anyway, so why not just let the Democrats deal with the mess THEY created?

After having thought this over, i say make Obama own this. Give him the tax increase. It won´t solve anything so what will he say then?

You need to get on the airwaves with a major primetime speech and tell the public that after careful consideration, you are going to give Obama EVERYTHING he wants. EVERYTHING. Make it VERY public, as a sort of shock and awe, Come from a power stance not a defeated stance because in actuality you will be the winner in the long run with this. And be sure to inform the talking heads what you are doing.

Do NOT save the democrats from themselves. Give them the full Monty.

You are going to be demonized whether we go over the cliff or not. When it doesnt work you can say, we tried it his way. It didnt work. Many are experiencing the effects of Obamacare personally now. Obama will NOT be popular in 2014. Make him own it.

The Brilliant Republicans and talking heads go on for hours with every bit of minutia that frames their thinking. The Dems do sound bites and slogans and repetition. Can we get a lesson? Being kinder was Bush´s plan and then spend like the Dems. They still hated him. So, the press and the Dems who want power not congeniality, will do the same. Wake up. Repeat and repeat and show a graphic that shows taking it from the rich, taking all of it, does not fund past a few months or at the most, 1 yr. So, repeat, it is because the govt spends too much not that it does not tax enough, which causes the problem. Simple. It gets through to everyone with a family budget except those who are generational dependents, aka slaves to the govt. Are we done with slavery? Can we be? Please?

The GOP just lost a-n-o-t-h-e-r election that was their`s for the taking. They couldn`t beat a failed marxist and somehow people still believe the GOP can out maneuver Obama and the Dems? Get real. The republicans will fail us once again. Taxes are going up and they`re staying up so get used to living on the edge because that`s our future.

Bull Roar! Obama is doing everything he can to to push this country over the ´fiscal cliff´ He wants this country destroyed and he´ll do everything in his power to make sure it happens.

Just one more thing... Obama said to Soviet Medvidev to tell Putin this was his last election and would have more flexibility after that. Could he mean this was the country´s last election? Look at his Muslim Bro-hood pals in Egypt and Turkey. Pharoahs, and leaders for life. Sounds good to him and the Mooch.

Obie just performed his fiscal cliff fandango in front of a backdrop of the weirdest assemblage of "middle class" persons ever. The man on his left looked like an Indian Jerry Colonna with a beard and he kept looking Obie up and down, reading his teleprompter or notes, and generally looking dorky throughout the show. Too funny - if it wasn´t our preezy, The Hopeless Won.

It´s a bit late to expect Republicans to save us all. It was our job to turn out enouh voters to save our republic. We did not do it. A lot of people stood on principle congratulating themselves for their integrity. Romney was not exactly what they wanted. Too bad for them and for the rest of us. You reap what you sow. Whatever faults the GOP had or Romney had we should have overlooked. When God referred to the Jews saying that "my people are a stiff necked people" he could have been speaking of Christians as well. There weer enough of us. We did not show up.

One thing we can count on - his game plan will include our becoming disgruntled with our elected Republican leaders. Go and read Saul Alinsky. It´s all part of the strategy. And we are buying it.

0bama has started a twitter scam to pressure Congress. Don´t we have anyone who can effectively ANSWER??? #My2K

I think that the only way we can answer is to say "BALANCE THE BUDGET". This namby-pamby incremental junk doesn´t sell.

Put 0bama´s spending and the tax increase side by side. His tax increase would only fund 8 days of his spending. Who can answer this crook?

0 will not offer a solution to the "fiscal cliff" problem because he and his puppeteers and Dem cronies created this problem deliberately over the years by forcing banks to fund mortgages to unqualified (mostly minority "buyers"), by creating the Sept. 11-15, 2008 "financial crisis", by blowing the $700+++ bailout money, and by giving away more and more of our taxes to the takers.

Obama and Jarrett should share equal blame as "co-presidents."

Every time I see Republican leaders on Fox they are saying they are waiting to see Obama´s plan for cuts. IMO they are trying to put the responsibility on Obama. I agree we ought to let the Dems do whatever they are going to do IF we do not get large cuts in spending. THEY need to reap what THEY sow, not the GOP.

The GOP has lost this PR game (again). Give Obama the tax raises that he wants. Let him own it. And maybe next time, the GOP can think of some coherent rebuttals before the MSM/Obama make them look dumb/mean.
