@BradThor
Any Republican who thinks raising taxes is the answer to what ails America, should be run out of town on a rail. (It's the spending)

Oh good, the civil war among the conservatives continues apace.

I tend to agree with Thor. Brad Thor, that is.
-
They can do what they want. I'm starting a new party. To hell with the Republicans.
The USA Patriots Party.

The title of the article and what Thor said are 2 different things. I dont think Thor's comments mean anything since I havent heard a single republican say that raising taxes will fix any of the problems we have in the country. But if as the title suggests that people want to run out of town any republican who raises taxes then that is every republican. The compromisers want to use the tax raises for the top tax bracket as a bargaining chip for reduced spending and the hardliners want to hit the fiscal cliff raise taxes on everyone and hope the blame lands on the democrats. Either way tax increases are coming.

Can't we just tax Marxist millionaires at 200% of everything?

He's right.
These people are caving on taxes before Obama and the Dems have even said what they're willing to do.

I heard Obama saying that we need to raise taxes on the "rich" right now, but that we can wait until next year to figure out where to make the cuts. That means the cuts would never happen.
-
Never heard of Brad Thor. Sounds like a made-up, stage name to me.
And remind me again why I should give a shit what he says...........
-
Brad Thor is an author. He writes action/spy books. I love his books.
-
Love his books. He's not afraid to write about evil terrorists. I also have to agree about the taxes. Kinda over the infighting though.

Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Reagan agreed to tax increases in his first term...based on the promise from O'Neill and the dems that for every $1 in tax increases...there would be $2 in budget cuts.
Same kind of deal with the 1986 amnesty bill. Dems promised to get money for border security if Reagan signed this bill.
Bush 41 and his "read my lips" pledge...he got suckeerd on that the same way reagan did in in '82 (see above)
And here they come again saying just increase the taxes and we'll talk about cuts later...because they know that Republicans have a history for falling for Democrts lies and broken promises.
