The 3 Unofficial GOP Rules That Are Making A Deficit Deal Even Harder

And Harry Reid won't let Reps introduce or amend legislation in the Senate. Compromise works both ways. Both sides are failing.

and have you reviewed the Bills passed in the house?
How many Jobs bills?
How many real reforms?

Or

How many abortion bills?
How many gay marriage bans?
Or ones to refine rape?


The house leadership (joke that it is) Are leading a teapublican agenda, not whats best...

All of that may be true, but the bottom line is that there is no point on voting on anything that both sides don't agree on. The president wants Congress to pass an immediate tax hike and then work on spending reductions later. Sorry, that's just not going to happen. The Reps in Congresss did that under Reagan, and the Dems screwed them over and never passed the cuts.

Right because the GOP in the house is bought and paid for...
as well as the GOP members in the state

they would never turn on the people that support them with funds to get reelected.

I see this as a means to test the GOP and they have failed once again in the house...
If they agreed to that small tax increase it shows me they are very interested in right the course...
