Right, OP. Boehner's lied before. He's other lying today, or he lied yesterday.

Riiiight. Meanwhile, back on earth, companies are laying off employees left and right thanks to the Obamacare, I mean Affordable Health Care, I mean Unaffordable, I mean Obamacare tax, I mean fine, errrr, no wait, it's a tax, no it's a donation, oh, my bad, it's like tithing. Yeah, what was that Senator? You were saying something about taxes....

Tired of empty promises and empty suits. This country is in a real mess and we need leadership!

Good. Hold fast.

No tax increases or let the Bush tax cuts expire for EVERYONE.

Broaden the base, everyone should have skin in the game.

It's great to hear the minority leader say he'll dig in his heels on taxes. So what if GHWB caved? McConnell is a different man. I just hope that he and other Republicans in the House and Senate stand firm.

McConnell is right: Republicans still control the House (where taxing and spending bills must originate), and still have a robust minority in the Senate.

I'm ready to fight back! With whatever power we still have, which is considerable.

I am with you #5. I am not rolling over no matter what.

McConnell and Boehner cause me SEVERE gastric distress. They both need to be replaced by TRUE Conservaties who will defund programs and agencies and take the fight for "We the People" to every Street in this Country....

Do not believe this.

Chin-less, spine-less Mitch. Toss in your towel. It does not matter any longer. This country is either Sodom and Gomorrah or Moses being shown miracles from above. John Roberts saw the light. Israel has been fighting those that surround her for how long? How much longer can she stand? This country is not one our Founding Fathers would be proud of. We have long ago fallen from His grace. This is judgement day for America. Our coffers and your integrity are lacking. Your lips are moving yet we do not hear you. Our generation spent the last years loving a country which will no longer be honored. By God or by mortal man. Samson killed the lion. He did not call it a pussycat and offer milk. Sit down, wipe your chin and go use your credit card from the US Taxpayers. Where you and yours are leading us, not real sure I wish to follow.

Tax increases are in the first chapter of the liberal bible.8 of the 10 wealthiest counties in the country went for Obama. they're begging for a tax increase,or are they. Maybe Obama promised them no tax increases.

Personally,i don't see a reason not to raise capital gains taxes on people who made over $500,000 in lazy income. A lot of this money has come from the feds money pumps.People paying 17% tax rates while sitting on their ass is different than a 60 hour workweek employer.

Investment is different than it was 20-30 years ago. The stock market has become a racket in it's own right and no longer reflects he real economy. It's pure gamesmanship.

You have super rich liberals who got that way having the inside track to government contracts,like public housing building.This is a huge enterprise in big cities and kickbacks are rampant.

Obama and Reid are waiting in the weeds to spring a tax increase on the rich but what they don't tell you is most of the wealth in this country is held by liberals,who are stingy as hell. They want their tax increases to target people like the Koch brothers,not their own big donors.

Translation: there will be tax hikes. Gutless wonder speaks again.

Mitch, babe, you have no power. I'd rather have tax hikes than amnesty, reparations, a racial quota system for hiring. Taxes are much easier to fix.

Why don't I believe either Michelle McConnUS or Joan Boner anymore?
