Fiscal Cliff Debate: Why The (Very) Few Rule The Many In Congress

[BanTheGOP]

1. Bohner is controlled by the Tea Party...Pure and Simple

Despite the fact he's a "moderate republican" inextricably hated by the whacko fringe of the GOP, he is beholden to their puppetmaster strings. He talks like he wants to deal, and he does try to have some semblance of control, but he really doesn't have it. And when the new Congress takes over, particularly with Alan West gone and Paul Ryan denuded of much of his power due to his epic failure to become VP, he will have to deal and cave on the tax issue.

Once that happens, then we MUST put together the narrative that the GOP AGREED that to SAVE the country, TAXES HAD TO BE RAISED ON THE RICH. This means that, in the future should the GOP get freakin' lucky and win elections, the die has been cast where we can say with ABSOLUTE PROOF that the Reagan / Bush Tax Cuts HURT THIS COUNTRY, and THEY will NEVER be able to get past it.
