“Really? The Republican Party is going to fall on its sword to defend a bunch of millionaires, half of whom voted Democratic and half of them live in Hollywood?” he said. "It won't kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires," Kristol added. "It really won't, I don't think. I don't really understand why Republicans don't take Obama's offer." Kristol said that Republicans would eventually have to compromise on taxes, which is set to be one of the major fights in a budget deal. The Bush-era tax cuts are set to expire at the end of the year. Obama wants to extend the tax cuts on incomes fewer than $250,000, thereby raising taxes on any incomes above that level. Congressional Republicans want to extend them for all incomes. "I think Republicans will have to give in much more than they think," Kristol said, because "elections have consequences." Here's video, via The Raw Story:
Poster Comment: Tax, borrow, print money, bomb, and oppress the serfs... the progressive neocon way. It can't last much longer, the wheels are coming off.
Fox News Conservative columnist and Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol suggested today on "Fox News Sunday" that Congressional Republicans should agree to a compromise with President Barack Obama in the so-called "fiscal cliff" negotiations.

No surprise coming from the neo-con Prince. Here we have a Red Diaper Baby whose father was an avowed Marxist,and he is now considered to be a leading voice of the right. What was it that Goober Gore muttered? Wasn't it "Whut is spossed ta be up is doawn,and whut is spossed to be doawn is up!" Seems appropriate here,doesn't it?
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
Bill Kristol needs to man up, and admit that he's just another neocon whore, asking us to spread our asscheeks like HE does every day. All I want, is to see him and his ilk PAY for their treachery.
The total # of registered voters (election 2012) was ~197 million voters. Barack Obama: 60,652,238 = 30.8% The U.S. government no longer has the consent of the people. "I am relying on my personal experience with Morons, which have been universally positive." -jwpegler
Bill Kristol spent most of the Bush administration arguing for a new kind of big "government greatness" conservatism". He want to turn America into the Roman Empire.
When have they ever? Only 30% of the population supported the Revolutionary War. In 1828 (the first year records were kept), only 57% of the voting age population turned out to vote. That's about the same percentage that turned out this year. Voter turnout has only reached 80% three times (including 1860). It's been lower than 50% three times (1920, 1924, and 1996). In the 20th century, turnout has generally been between 50% and 60%, with few exceptions.

That's about the same percentage that turned out this year. You are assuming that 57% voting turnout means 43% are tacitly giving lack of consent, which is one screwy assumption. Generally when voting turnout is smaller that means people are happy with the status quo. People tend to turnout to vote in higher numbers when they want to change something. As far as the Revolutionary war went, since active support could mean a potential date with a hanging or before a firing squad, it's hard to say just how many actually supported the war.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
The Kabuki theater has gone on for far to long... no thanks in small part to sheeple like you, who continue to fall for the "lesser of two evils" bullshit. One day you'll grow up, and realize that you don't have any friends, in any "establishment" political party. Don't pretend you're now concerned with voter turnout. Next presidential election- if we have one in 2016- you'll be more than happy to line up behind whatever piece of shit the GOP offers up... and you'll once again mouth the platitudes (lesser of two evils), while you kiss Republican ASS. Your words are empty, your observations have no value... Because you lack the weapon that matters most; courage. I SHIT on you, and all the other cowards who allow this charade to continue.
