Yes, it still would have. We're just in too deep. 55 36.18%
No. It would have shown we were serious about getting spending under control. 93 61.18%
I don't care, I want to keep spending like it's 1999. 4 2.63%

Ending a tax CUT is not a Tax Increase, but then righties never have been very good at math or logic.

And you are basing this off of the letters to the editor section of the Dallas Morning News?. Talk about a logical fallacy. I believe this one is called a "Converse fallacy of accident or hasty generalization".

All I can say is... We'll see what happens in 2012.

Can't we all just agree to hate BOTH the Democrats and the Republicans equally?? Both political parties are hopelessly out of touch with reality.

Make your voice heard: Vote against both of them and kick the worthless bums out of office!!

Remember things were said like:



That apparently didn't sit too well with the American people. Also most polling indicated that the American people WANTED A COMPROMISE that included spending cuts and tax revenue increases. The Republican stance against not raising revenue actually worked against them in terms of public opinion.
Bullies and mud-slinging- business as usual. How about when we vote, we opt to "hurt some people'...their hubris in Congress is nauseating

The people that pay no taxes are always angry at the GOP and even angrier at the Tea Party. They don't want them to stop the gravy train.
