Blah blah blah Boehner – show some cojones and don’t back down. Give Obama and the rest of them just enough rope to hang themselves. Sequestration – sure. Bush tax cuts expire? Sure. But then don’t give them an opening with anything else. Let the voters enjoy the full Obama experience.

One other thing. Let the defense cuts go through. It’ll hammer Virginia and make them reevaluate the votes they just cast for President and Senator.

Wrong answer. Let the sequestration happen. Let all the Bush tax rates expire. The people have spoken, now let them own it. Eff ‘em, let it burn.

I think Obama really wants the tax rates to expire for everybody. He demagogued the issue that by claiming he only wanted to hike taxes on the evil rich. But the truth is, the REAL money is made by hiking taxes on the middle class. I think he felt he could get re-elected without making another deal to extend the rates. Then he could blame the GOP House and say their intransigence is what caused everybody’s taxes to go up.

Give them everything they want…and add to it. Write up the bill and when people squeal, remind them that it is what they voted for.

Let the sequester happen, let all of the Bush tax cuts expire. ALL of them.

The GOP should definitely give Obama his long sought after tax hikes on “the rich”, but it may be worth letting the Bush tax rates expire for everyone. It would certainly put the Dems in a bind and it would be a huge wakeup call for the nation which I guaran-damn-tee a majority of whom have no clue about Taxmageddon.

Yep, voted for Hope and Change, but not to pay for it.
