GOP attacking White House For Giving In To Their Demands

The article you mentioned earlier dude, said in late November, and they already offered revenues and it went into the fiscal cliff issue. I think as far as they are concerned, they're waiting for the spending cuts.

What happened was, they killed time by offering revenue, then when it looked like something might actually get done, they 180'd and decided revenue was not acceptable, and wanted more cuts. This was after the "cliff". The revenues were taken back before the sequester. Now that it looks like the cuts might happen, they're 180'ing again and freaking about attacks on entitlements.

They're children.

And they've always been extremely protective of entitlements. They have to be-their voter base is elderly and depends on those entitlements utterly.

Where this meme about the GOP and fiscal conservatism comes from is truly mysterious. They've been spending like drunken sailors for decades, but somehow we have to listen to them self-riteously go on about fiscal responsibility as they push multi-trillion dollar tax cuts that their great grandchildren will still be paying for (with nasty interest) when their hair turns grey.

Listening to Republicans talk about fiscal responsibility is like listening to Lindsey Lohan talk about teaching her Sunday School class how to just say no.

Bah. Moar coffee.

What's even more mind-boggling than the Kim Jong Un-like behavior of the GOP these days is... even when Dude documents how on this they're absolutely full of shit, you still get apologists showing up for them here.

News flash: simply blocking anything Obama does even when it's what you wanted isn't "governing." These people are clearly using their elected positions to act out some bizarre pathology held by them and their "base." They're useless.

Then again, Mitch McConnell was the one who announced back in 2008 that his number one priority was making Obama a "one term president."

Who the f*** presents that as their job description when this country has so many serious issues facing it?

Middle of the road man, middle of the road......

Don t trust anyone who claims they are middle of the road, its a librul conspiracy to put down your guard, like that Obama shotgun pic...

I can't believe those awful Republicans aren't willing to accept $1.1 trillion in new taxes in exchange for $680 billion in new spending. Mosters, all of them!

Clearly the GOP wants to make a deal that's best for the country--they're just like holding out and stuff.
