And more Dems coming in January, too. Very good!



PS. I hate Boner with a fiery ORANGE passion. He can shine the Prez's shoes after he fixes that sandwich.

Go cry in your drink, Weepy.

The Repubs are doing their best poker face, but the fact is they're playing a losing game of Budget Chicken. They know the Democrats are not going to flinch at the fiscal "cliff", and that the Repubs will be under intense pressure to fix the tax situation after the deadline.

All the Democrats have to do is stand their ground.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The 98% won't resent him for raising their taxes because doing nothing will result in the 2% paying THEIR fair share of taxes, too, for the first time in more than decade.

It's no accident that he hasn't been at the White House much lately.

Cue the Vonage theme!

Two new tax brackets. The millionaire and billionaire tax brackets. Starting at 42 % and 45 % marginal rates. Every time Bohner gets in front of a microphone, the marginal rates on these two brackets ratchets up a point.

By the expressions on their faces, it could be colic. Here's hoping they have monumental belly aches for the duration of President Obama's next four years.

I'm a Recovering Republican and can't stress enough how happy I am that President Obama and the Democrats are treating the GOP the only way they understand: tough, no compromise, take-it-or-leave-it. How many times has the GOP rammed things down the Democrats' throat when they (GOP) had power? The GOP are just a bunch of bullies and when you look them in the eye (with the media filming) they will almost always run away.
