Hillary looks almost as excited as she was when they showed Khaddafi being sodomized.

>> Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., an influential conservative House Republican, is already on record supporting extending the middle class tax cuts - with or without the upper income tax cuts. On Sunday, he said Republicans should embrace the extension of the middle class tax cuts and take credit for it.

This would be dumb of the Rs. It would be stupid to give up their leverage.

Boehner should simply point out that this is about cutting spending, NOT increasing it, and tell dumbass to let him know when he wants to cut spending by a healthy margin.

The "offer" Obama extended didn't even pass the laugh test. It was an insult and clearly indicated that Obama is not interested in solving this problem.

I wouldn't give him another minute of time until he caved. This isn't a Republican problem, it is an Obama problem. If Obama wants to take the blame for it, fine.

Republicans are seriously considering a Doomsday Plan if fiscal cliff talks collapse entirely. It's quite simple: House Republicans would allow a vote on extending the Bush middle class tax cuts (the bill passed in August by the Senate) and offer the President nothing more: no extension of the debt ceiling, nothing on unemployment, nothing on closing loopholes. Congress would recess for the holidays and the president would face a big battle early in the year over the debt ceiling.

Two senior Republican elected officials tell me this doomsday plan is becoming the most likely scenario. A top GOP House leadership aide confirms the plan is under consideration, but says Speaker Boehner has made no decision on whether to pursue it.

Under one variation of this Doomsday Plan, House Republicans would allow a vote on extending only the middle class tax cuts and Republicans, to express disapproval at the failure to extend all tax cuts, would vote "present" on the bill, allowing it to pass entirely on Democratic votes.


I suspect this is a negotiating ploy........that's all they seem to be able to do......is play. They seem incapable of coming up with a plan of their own.

I believe any tactic or game they use will look bad for them.

* Israel faces major diplomatic pushback: "Britain, France, Spain, Sweden and Denmark summoned the Israeli ambassadors to their countries on Monday to protest Israel's plans for increased settlement construction, an unusually sharp diplomatic step that reflected the growing frustration abroad with Israel's policies on the Palestinian issue."
