Ready? Repubs to break tax pledge, Dems to raise taxes on everyone

I smell another bad deal on the horizon from all sides (via theRightScoop):

Speaking of not standing up for principle, more Republicans are ‘falling in line‘ to accept a deal that might raise taxes in order to raise revenue by disavowing a pledge they signed years ago not to raise taxes. Instead of standing up for the truth that we have a spending problem and not a revenue problem, Republicans are slowly laying down their weapons while standing in a den of hungry lions.

Thanks John Boehner:

FoxNews: More congressional Republicans are breaking a long-standing pledge to oppose tax increases before returning to Washington on Monday to avert a looming fiscal crisis with a deal that increasingly appears impossible to reach without changes to the tax code.

Meanwhile, the lion's den theRightScoop mentioned earlier...

The Democrats clearly have a strategy to beat Republicans into submission for the sake of their socialist ideology, and they will sacrifice the American people to do it:

Politico: Call them the cliff jumpers.

A growing bloc of emboldened liberals say they’re not afraid to watch defense spending get gouged and taxes go up on every American if a budget deal doesn’t satisfy their priorities.

Here’s what these progressives fear: an agreement that keeps lower tax rates for the wealthy, hits the social safety net with unpalatable cuts and leaves Pentagon spending unscathed. In other words, they’d rather walk the country off the cliff than watch President Barack Obama cave on long-held liberal priorities.
