Stick it, Carney and NerØbama.

If they don´t do anything he gets his way and taxes increase. So he sees it as a win-win, except if the pubbies cave he will get more out of them than just a tax increase when the reductions disappear next year.

Good for you, BOI

With that stance, you own the tax increases

Now, fly off to Hawaii, and show everyone how concerned you are about the Little People who elected your sorry *ss

Raise taxes. Take that off the table. Make the Administration produce a budget.

E repubs should just go home for the holidays. Melt the tax cuts expire... Raise taxes on everyone, let the cuts kick in. Let those entitlement programs finally feel the pain.maybe it´ll make them start to send illegals home, when they get in line for entitlements before citizens after the cuts.

They are going to be blamed for anything and everything if zippy and the Dems don´t get everything they want anyway, so just call it a year. They´ve already proven they are at best incapable of stopping, if not complicit, in allowing this administration to run roughshod over the constitution, and their own irrelevance.

We should put all of them down at Gitmo.

"It’s bad economic policy and we cannot afford it."

Right. But ADDING another $50 billion in new spending on top of the over-the-top spending we already have is what? The work of an economic genius? And no spending cuts when they are clearly needed - that´s another mark of good economic policy?

Oh - wait - I get it ! The socialist model! How SILLY of me! We´re going to SPEND our way to prosperity! Of course!

/s off/

Tell the president and dems to go back to the devil from where they came.

Pubbies should say one thing, and one thing only:
" C U T S P E N D I N G !"

Better to walk away than to try to deal with a Democrat. There is nothing to be gained from it.

more dems in the senate then republicans...obama does NOT need one vote from the republicans..the republicans should all vote present...let the dems and the won own this...

Obummer will fly back on Xmas eve to meet with Harry Reid and then blame GOP for not showing up to negotiate.MSM will be orgasmic.

Obama is forgetting something -- WE won. We The People elected a GOP House in a landslide again because we want an end to out-of-control spending.

The House should vote to extend the tax cuts for everybody. Lower taxes equals higher economic growth. Let the Obama and Senate refuse to sign on -- they will then own the tax increases, diminished growth and job losses that result.

Fine. Let him veto a bill that keeps taxes low for everyone. Also, ask him to explain how raising taxes on the "wealthy" will improve the country´s fiscal position.

It appears that letting the previously agreed to "cliff" happen ... might be the best thing. It will hurt ... but no solution is presented that does not gore someones ox.

Alright, you can have any tax rates you want, in exchange we want to kill Obamacare entirely, force all recipients of "entitlements" to prove they are citizens, and force all states to completely wipe their voter rolls and register only those that can prove citizenship.

Go home, Republicans.

Now that Obama has stated he will not sign a deal unless it raises taxes, and the Republicans have stated they will not sign a deal that does, the negotiations should be over.

The only reason John Boehner and Mitch McConnell would keep the negotiations going now would be because they have such contempt for their fellow Republican Congressmen that they believe them capable of dishonoring their anti-tax pledges and caving in to Obama.

The honorable Republicans in Congress should be on their way home by now.

Compromise, Chicago style.

Obama and the Democrats really have a thing about raising taxes, don´t they? It is a point of honor for them. Fairness is the thing. Some people have more money than they need. Obama said so himself. "At some point," said the president, "a person has enough money," He didn´t specify the figure or how it is arrived at. It may be one of those things like pornography, hard to to define, but you know it when you see it.

Taxes! Got to raise those taxes! There is a principle involved.

Too bad Obama and the Democrats can´t say they won´t support a bill unless it includes genuine, effective, honest to goodness spending cuts and controls. Why not? Just to be fair and bipartisan, why not say no bill unless BOTH tax increases and honest spending cuts and controls included. Not the usual, phony, make-believe spending cuts and controls, mind you, but real ones.

Seems like the bipartisan thing would be to emphasize raising revenue and controlling spending equally. But no. Not for Democrats. Never for Democrats.

Democrats have no intention of cutting spending. Everybody knows that. They don´t need to say it. We know, they know it, they know we know it, we know they know we know it etc. No spending cuts, not for real. Just tax increases.

Just think what that $4,000,000 family vacation Obama is scheduled to take could buy if wisely used. Couldn´t the American people make better use of those funds than the Obama family on vacation? How come in this time of fiscal crisis Obama and family are charging four million bucks to the American taxpayer? What kind of credit card does he think he has, a no limit one?

dear obama voters......he doesnt care about your tax dollars..how much you spend on taxes...gas...food...etc......how many people dont have jobs......you reelected him and guess what HE IS TAKING A BIG FOUR MILLION DOLLAR VACA ON YOUR DIME....congratulations.............

Well then it appears that he is heading toward signing nothing!

walk away, pubbies. walk away. You have the working half of this nation behind you.

I am with number five make Obama and the democrats do it to all the"little" people they voted for them.

Just saw our illustrious leader on TV literally threaten anyone in Washington that doesn´t go along with him next year. And people in a toy factory in PA, yelling & clapping like they enjoyed it.

Obama is a criminal, even if the mijority don´t realize it. Everything is boneheaded or worse with this manipulator, and race BS is a below the belt argument. I want the same for him as white guys like Adolf. I know I am not alone in hoping he exposed and impeached and convicted and sentenced and you know the rest.
The man is a thief, stealing our children´s birth rights. He is coming after your inalienable rights. And he needed hollow point bullets, billions of them, enough for you and every citizen, a revolver load for each of you Obama fans.

GOP should walk away and make the dems OWN IT.

It will all be blamed on the GOP anyway, so there is no reason NOT to walk away. The Dems are all traitors to the republic and should be executed as such, along with the press who connived to elect them.

Every person living in this country of voting age should be required to pay something in taxes so they have a stake in the tax-increase game.

Get rid of the earned income credit. There´s your tax increase, and removes a major league source of fraud.

Obama loves high taxes. He´ll push us over the fiscal cliff.

Send him a bill with tax cuts and spending cuts and make him veto it.

In this clip, 0bama acknowledges that he understands higher tax rates cause lower tax revenues and he doesn´t care!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJimLZRC9N8

The House should read a transcript of this clip into the Congressional record, then pass the exact same budget as 2004, with no funds allocated to programs, departments or offices that did not exist then.

Every Republican should be trying to get on as many media events as possible to ridicule 0bama´s obstructionism for refusing to compromise, and his stated opposition to higher tax revenues through lower tax rates.

Use Alinsky´s Rules against him, laugh at his announced opposition to higher revenues! make him a laughingstock for saying he won´t sign the bill before they even debate and vote for what is in the bill! Force him to eat his words!

And if he vetoes the bill, try to override the veto, then vote for a bill that has even more spending cuts...to his preferred programs.

They need to start with raising taxes on Obama´s perks to the tune of 39%. So his 4 milliond dollar vacation will yield $1.56 million to the coffers. Then trivkle down to all the other private jets and free booze for the rest of the gang up there

You are right! That should be taxable to him!!! Brilliant point!
