House GOP to REJECT payroll tax cut...Admits because it will help Obama!!

[kpete]

"The rank-and-file members are extremely opposed to it," said the GOP source, adding that most members were concerned with the uncertainty caused by just a two-month extension, as well as the political benefit the White House could gain in the national dialogue over taxes.

1. It would be a huge mistake if Obama and the Democrats don't make those statements in to ads

This is a campaign 2012 marketing gift.

[Ship of Fools]

7. Except they seem to keep returning the gifts ...

[Justice wanted]

2. Do they think the American people don't see how stupid they are being. Those who have common

sense will be upset by this --Like my Aunt who considered herself a Republican until 6 months ago when she heard GOPers basically saying that last go around wit the budget than she was like questioning all the party's motives.

3. well gop, when you cause peoples' taxes to go up on 12/31/11 the political fallout will be on you

4. Dissolve Congress n/t

5. So Boner, it looks like the GOP is going to give a Tax hike to millions of ordinary people

while you fought tooth and nail to prevent a surtax on 700,000 millionaires. Good luck defending that in 2012.

6. You mean to tell me the only reason the GOP is rejecting the payroll tax cut...

...is that Obama wants it? What a bunch of petulant, slimy brats throwing a collective tantrum!

How far are the rethugs going to take their hissy fits? Are we going to see Republicans, alleged grown men holding their breath, kicking and screaming on the House floor? Or throwing the gavel and other objects at Nancy Pelosi? This infantile behavior has got to stop yesterday! Enough is enough!

8. It's like they are admitting that

they can't stop hitting themselves on the head with a hammer. Carazy.

[Aerows]

9. Calling Republicans whiners and crybabies

Is an insult to tantrum throwing two-year olds everywhere.

[Pigheaded]

10. Two months is pretty damn stupid

I would not pass it either

11. That's just what I was looking for!

12. Republicons against America

As usual. Why don't they all just move to Saudi Arabia to hang with their oil crony buddies.
