[TwilightGardener]

1. They really should have worked on the tax issue. It's come back to

bite everyone in the ass, and now there's no time.

[Warren Stupidity]

2. plenty of time to say no to the Bush tax cuts.

[TwilightGardener]

3. There's more to the tax issue than just letting them all expire. That was

never the plan, either for Obama or the Democrats in Congress.

[Warren Stupidity]

5. Yes there is the 'we always blink first' part.

[TwilightGardener]

6. That's what happens when you lose the House of Reps without

securing the tax deal you were hoping to get. You can call it blinking, or compromise--but either way, the time for acting like we have the upper hand is gone.

4. duh, the answer's obvious. Michelle Bachmann!

The people's people. She's the reel deel. The bridge over the River Crazi. She can help organize the Democrat Party and make us more palatable to the President.

[Supersedeas]

7. Elijah Cummings spoke very directly on behalf of the House Caucus
