Angry with Obama, GOP threatens political war next year

[moonbladem]

Washington (CNN) -- They are losing the battle over higher taxes on the wealthy, so now Republicans are threatening a political war next year when it comes time to raise the nation's debt ceiling.

With cracks appearing in their anti-tax facade and polls showing most Americans favoring President Barack Obama's stance in the fiscal cliff

You're turning droves of people in your own party off with this nonsense, and have been. The election itself reflected that, and midterm elections will be here before you know it so you know what?

Entitlements? How about we reduce the military's entitlement, asshole.

This. This. This.

if the president forces through his plan for high-income earners to pay more taxes without agreeing to substantive steps to reduce the nation's chronic federal deficits and debt.

But... that is a way to help reduce the debt tho.

I wish Democrats would stop buying into conservative doublespeak and using phrasing like "entitlement programs." That shit is public assistance for people who need that assistance, not something that is defined by greedy, lazy people feeling entitled to.

[lisaquestions]

Exactly.

This! Entitled is a way of saying you have a right to this, so the whole entitlement cuts bullshit is like a salesman asking his boss to cut your sofa in half because he wants a new chair..
