I the Dems can be killed as a force for decades, like the Dems nearly did to the Republicans after 1932. then we need to turn them into the Whigs. MAObama is their Hoover: and fortunately, everything BIG BRObama will do in the next year because of his radical ideology, SHOULD make them 21st century Whigs, i.e. extinct.

However…

“Unfortunately, Republicans have a penchant for invigorating Obama when he is on the ropes.”

The quote is too true! Because of “scratch-my-back-tit-for-tat” politics Republicans think they need to play nicely and have a mercy call when the game is a blow-out.

Somebody explain to me: WHY SHOULD LIBERALISM SURVIVE?

If we can deliver a death-blow by invigorating the economy through conservative policies after 2012, then we must do so.

The jobs bill is already a political loser, with a majority of Americans saying it won’t help unemployment. The politically popular position now would be for the GOP to kill it. It’s a no brainer.

It also adds to the narrative that Obama is impotent and can’t lead. The Republicans in the House should propose their own jobs bill and leave it at that. Not one Republican will lose their job over not passing Obama’s ridiculous giveaway to the Unions that will only raise our taxes.

It simply eliminates the corporate income tax and Alternative Minimum Tax.

Thank you.

silver platters are going to be handed to Republicans in the near future. They would be absolute fools to allow the momentum to just slip away at this historic time. If they meekly let these times pass without taking full advantage of what is in front of them then they deserve the full brunt of our scorn. Wake up Republicans and grow some courage!

Who’s the more adept political pragmatist?

Is stealing defeat from the jaws of victory. I don’t see that changing, like, well, ever.

Who seems to speak more for Americans at this particular time?

If both sides got picked 10 top economists and put them in a room, they would come up with a short term and long term solution. To think this is a problem without a solution is just wrong. It could be spending and tax cuts or whatever, but there is a formula that the smartest could agree with.

Seriously, no new porkulous spending. Our budget is out of control in record deficits and Obama wants to raise taxes but not to close budget gap… He wants even more dollars to burn. Investment to Obama means to spend recklessly on boondoggles that enrich unions and special interests like the green lobby at the expense of the hard working American taxpayer…

Basically what Mr.Horowitz is saying is the Republicans need to tell the American people the unvarnished truth about Social Security, Medicare,and Medicaid!They are broken or soon will be and need to be fixed!We have some tough choices to make and the Democrats are unwilling to make them.They,in fact,seem able only to spend ever more money on failed and often redundant programs.But,if we love our children,grandchildren,and our great grandchildren,WE need to act,and act now to fix it!Yes Republicans share the blame for our current situation,but we are also the only party putting forth VIABLE ideas that actually solve the problems and not exacerbate them.Our opportunity is now and we must take it!Our children and grandchildren will thank us for it!

Divide and conquer is always a good strategy.

Obama put stuff into this bill that he knew would sound moderate, plus lots of other stuff that he knew is far to the left to benefit his base. He’s daring the GOP to vote the whole package down so that he can run against the “do-nothing GOP House” in 2012, and give his base a reason to work for his re-election and against the GOP for obstructing their handouts.

What the GOP should do, is vote for only the most moderate parts of the package, those parts that Obama’s far-left base is least excited about. And pointedly and deliberately refuse to vote for those parts that would excite Obama’s base. IOW, cherry-pick Obama’s proposals to create a modified bill that is as far to the center (or even center-right) as possible.

Then let’s see what Obama does with that bill, once it’s presented to him. Most likely his base will be furious with him that he sold them down the river again.

Rick Perry has accepted over $17 billion of it over the last few years. While condemning it at the same time. No wonder every single new job created in Texas since 2008 has been a government job.

It’s not entirely accurate to say it’s time for the Republicans to get a backbone and take it to the Democrats as they are tangled on the ropes thru their own ineptitude. Rather, it’s time for the GOP LOSERship to get a spine and join ranks with the conservatives and tea partiers to take it direction to the Dems.

The payroll tax cut is no more than a bill to defund Social Security and make it go broke sooner than later. Don’t miss the chance to toss in how Obamacare does the same to defunding Medicare. Where do these money’s end up might be a question to pose and answer… These entitlement cuts move money from seniors into funding for Blue Pensions, Blue Jobs and Green regulations with a side order of handouts to lawyers to keep them all shoveling money back into Democrat election coffers.

The GOP needs to make it clear they stand for the Red (private sector), White (Seniors), and Blue (competitive union jobs), not for more Blue Green handouts by our nation’s first Blue Green President and his followers.

Cutting taxes And spending at a single go? I like that idea.

Raising other taxes to cut FICA taxes? Not so much. Raising Any taxes for Any reason right now, I’m not likely to support.

On a jobs bill is a stimulus plan! The last stimulus plan failed so spectacularly that Pelosi outlawed the word.
Boehner needs outside pressure to keep his knees from buckling.
We the people need to put that pressure on until we get a Speaker with a little confidence!
“Unfortunately, Republicans have a penchant for invigorating Obama when he is on the ropes.”
Boehner is Speaker of the Obama CPR team.
Pressure now – get rid of Boehner as Speaker asap

When W “cut taxes” he cut income tax rates. When the Dems “cut taxes” they reduce payroll taxes. Therefore, the Dems are conceding that payroll taxes are just TAXES, not some special, untouchable, insurance premium.

OK! So the GOP needs to propose “tax reform” of both the income tax and the payroll tax. Reform the income tax to make it flatter and to reward business expansion. Reform the payroll tax to make room for personal savings and retirement accounts (for the younguns). The Dems have already shown their willingness to rely on general revenue (or borrowing) to fund SocSec. They shouldn’t object (but they will) to using general revenue to fund the transition to personal retirement accounts.

The Republicans are far smarter to NOT be the ‘party of no’ but to be the party of better ideas that will actually create jobs.

Allowing the payroll tax cuts is fine, pay for them with spending cuts. State that any spending has to be rolled into the FY2012 plan and supercommitte so strip it all out to be dealt with later.

Insist that nothing can be done without immediate relief by REPEALING OBAMACARE TAX INCREASES. And defer the mandates by 5 years.

Pass – AGAIN – drilling in ANWR, offshore. Pass AGAIN obamacare repeal and an 18 month moratorium on new regulations, etc.

Obama is johnny-one-note with his ‘pass this failed bill’.
