Senate repugicans plan on blocking middle class tax cuts

For the repugicans, if you're not making $250,000, screw you. Strange that it sounds like the repugican party might have an small internal conflict on the issue. It's an interesting approach for the midterm elections so let's see how that floats with the public who support increasing taxes on the richest 2%. Right about now would be the time for Obama to go for the jugular and drive a larger wedge within the repugicans. Let's hope he finds it in him to continue his recent (good) attacks against the obstructionist repugicans.

Senate repugicans have enough votes to block President Barack Obama's plan to extend tax cuts for the middle class while allowing those for the rich to expire, a spokesman for the Senate repugican leader said Monday. (Only in the fantasies in their minds do they have enough votes - but what else is new.)

Repugicans Monday scrambled to regroup on the tax issue ahead of Nov. 2 congressional elections after House repugican Leader John Boehner appeared to open the door for a possible compromise. (Yes, and the cow jumps over the Moon, too.)

Don Stewart, spokesman for Senate repugican Leader Mitch McConnell, said Senate repugicans are united on the issue. "There are no repugicans who support a tax hike," he said. (except only the two largest tax hikes in the history of the nation and every other tax hike that's come down the pike since 1860.)
