Source: Senate Dems Will Force Vote On Middle-Class Tax Cuts

Senate Democrats are planning to force a vote on the House's just-passed middle-income tax cut bill and a second package to let the Bush tax cuts expire above a new, $1 million tax bracket, according to a Democratic aide.

The move is a sign of the leadership's frustration -- though both packages will likely be filibustered by Republicans, Dems are loath to simply wait for negotiations with Republicans and the White House to end on terms they suspect will be much more favorable to the GOP than to their own party.

1. Obama where are you?

We are lost in the wilderness.

2. Obama fully supports extending only the middle-class tax cuts

And has said so over and over and over.

Yet, you choose to not hear it. Why? Do you work for Faux?

4. Apparently he needs to put on his cape, tights and Lieberman mask...

...and vote for it.

5. I never heard him say "only". Do you have a link to where he said this?

I'm not being a wise ass. If he really said he supports extending "only" the middle-class tax cuts I will sing it from the roof tops. Thanks.

3. Hopefully the Dems don't blow the messaging after the repubs filibuster.

6. How. nt
