Try again. The dems have had huge cuts on the table since day one. The right as usual will not cut one penny from their outrageous tax cuts to the rich and handouts to their corporate cronies.
Lol, do tell. What are these huge cuts? And of course the Republicans have offered $300 billion in tax increases. but I understand to our lefty friends, that ain't nothing.
By the way, Republican tax cuts? Ya mean the ones Obama signed into law? Too funny, if that is the Dem's approach, Obama truly is toast in 2012!

No they havent. Democratic plans ahve been to make huge cuts under the NEXT CONGRESS. You people are utterly amazing.
"A GOP aide counters that “Democrats have effectively walked away from the negotiations. They remain intransigent.”
The aide said Democrats informed the GOP members last night they wanted to take a break from negotiations but offered no timeline as to when they would return to the negotiating table."
So instead of talking differences out at the meeting they walk out? That is pretty 9 year old behavior. Do you think that they planned to do this all along? I have been amazed that they didn't do it long ago since they never intended to do anything in a bi-partisan way.
This thing was nothing but a farce from the beginning and the Dems proved that there is no way to do anything in a bi-partisan manner. Now lets listen to Obama whine and howl about how the 6 Republicans caused their 6 Dem "friends" to walk out. Yep, it is the GOP who are the obstructionists since they offered a $30 billion increase in taxes for 10 years.
Pick up your ball and run home crying about the bad guys wanting to play but not by your rules. Poor kids.
Considering the Hannity/fox news/right wing spin tactics, they would take a scenario like a (D) got up to use the bathroom, then they send the propaganda patrol into full effect "Neener neener! The dems walked out in the negotiations!"

The Dems simply will not accept any entitlement cuts, they refuse to compromise. They want all the revenue shortfall made up by tax increases.
This is just a lie, and I have no doubt in my mind that you know it.
