5 Reasons Republicans Want Sequestration

[NOVA]

No, they didn't give in to the revenue increases. Also, too, even if you pretend that they did, the ratio of revenue increases to spending cuts is way disproportionate and the Republicans' insistance on only spending cuts moving forward would make them even more disproportionate.

What spending cuts ?....the ones are to take effect 5 years from now, under another admin. while the taxes take effect immediately ?
In other words, spending cuts that will never happen.

Both parties plan to vote on alternative spending cut bills.

All you really need is one reason why Republicans want sequestration: because they are unwilling to trade any additional tax increases on rich people for anything. Period. Full stop. They will not raise the capital gains rates and will not eliminate preferential tax treatment for high income earners.

So like, Obama could offer all sorts of cuts that Republicans pretend they want, but if the price of those cuts is more taxes on rich people, which is the thing Republicans care about most, they won't take the deal.

Yes.....and if Democrats could ever get themselves oranized it would be Republicans undoing.

And Obama's present.

If my cat craps on the carpet that's his fault, if I don't pick it up after three days, that's my fault. See how it works?

Comparing George W Bush to a shitting cat is about right.

I always love hearing people refer to Vietnam as "Nixon's War." I suppose the same type of association is being played at Obama's expense...

I've never heard anyone call Vietnam "Nixon's war.". I never heard anyone say "Hey, Hey RMN, how many babies did you kill today?" either.

So Obama is the guy who thinks waiting around and pointing at the cat will clear up the shit? The cat is gone, the crap remains and no matter how much Obama tells you about the cat, it's still going to be his rug that that shit is upon, and it's starting to smell...

The latest crisis is like pro wrestling and the obviously fake move known as the rebound clothesline. Way too obviously for anyone with even half a brain.
