Memo to GOP on the cliff: you LOST the election

C

Cancel 2020.1

Canceled
Enough with the "we refuse to raise the rates on the rich." You lost that perogative this past Tuesday. You want to dictate policy? You need to win an election. You didn't.

And enough also with the bogus claim - gleefully parrotted by your minions at Fox - that raising these rates will hurt job growth. The only independent study of the effects of increased rates on the rich, by the CBO, says that allowing the cuts for the wealthy to expire would increase the GDP and create 1.6 million new jobs.

Beyond that, only 2.5% of small business owners would face higher rates as a result of increasing those rates, according to a treasury study.

Elections have consequences. You lost. Time to compromise a little.
 
they didn't lose the election in the house, they are doing their job representing those that elected them. They lost the presidential election, but just as much you claim that the house should respect the president you could make the same exact argument for the president respecting the house.

He has but to your point that those in the house are representing those who elected them. They are owned by the corps, banks and 1% so yes they will do their bidding.
 
The layoff tsunami has just commenced. More businesses will shut down and lay off employees because losing profits or breaking even simply isn't worth the headache.

Higher unemployment, Obamacare taxes, job-killing EPA regulations, higher energy bills, sequestration layoffs, higher insurance premiums, lower wages, record deficits, weakening of the dollar, higher grocery bills.

You voted it in. You own it.

Let the misery continue. It's what the majority of people wanted.

I welcome it with open arms.

Forward!

Might want to keep those in reserve. You know, for when a $10 bill won't purchase a piece of bubble gum. ;)

Own it. Be proud of what you have done.

It is going to entertain me for four years, especially when the hand wringing escalates. There will be no one to blame.

It started on Day 1 with you liberals.

Please GOP...just do this to get some of your power back.

Nah. You drive the bus. :)

That's kind of phantom point. Because of gerrymandering, the House will likely stay in GOP hands for at least the next decade, regardless of what policies people actually support.

The GOP got shellacked in the Senate, where seats can't be gerrymandered, and Obama won convincingly. Polls show broad support for letting tax cuts on the wealthy expire as a means of addressing the fiscal cliff.

Gerrymandered districts did the trick alright. However, if we fix our election system so everyone can vote easily we can still throw their obstructionist, government hating, people despising butts out of office and replace them with people that give a shit about their country and it's people who are willing to work.

Here's the thing, you're probably now going to get your tax increase on top wage earners, like you wanted. Then we're going to see that the maths don't add up, and we're nowhere near the level of revenue we need to pay for all the shit you've dreamed up, and THEN... we'll hear you whine and bitch about the tax increases not being enough, like the never-ending stimulus and bailout plans. You will probably also get your massive defense cuts, and we'll see the results of that didn't pan out like you anticipated either, but again, you'll cry that it's because obstructionist republicans wouldn't let you cut enough. By 2016, I predict the Democrats will be talking of a plan to physically confiscate the property of the wealthy, something the 4th Amendment expressly forbids, but that won't matter, the constitution never matters when it comes to liberal ideas. We're also going to be introduced to the VAT tax. It stands for "Value Added Tax" and is basically a national sales tax. So not only will we be paying more income tax, and the extra Obamacare tax that isn't really a tax but a penalty, but has to be called a tax to be constitutional, but we'll be asked to pay a consumer tax as well.

In a nutshell, you won an election by a few percent, not a mandate, not a landslide. You won against a moderate who the conservatives didn't turn out the vote for. That simply does not mean that conservatism is dead, or that conservatism now needs to take a back seat on the bus. If you want to live in a dream world and pretend that is the case, so be it, I can't stop you... but I am telling you right here and now, that is a fantasy you are having in the wake of your win, and you need to seriously wake the fuck up.
