   Um, that was just a flip. No flop, and certainly no back and forth, which flip-flopping by its nature requires. Silly Mr. Summers.

   Well, you know, this time it’s for the good of the country.

   Besides, flip-flopping is okay if a Republican does it.

   Everybody ignores the fact that every Dem pledges to raise taxes as much as possible.

   The Reps have eased off of their position on taxes Now, the Dems should give a little encouragement toward negotiations by reducing their belligerence in the positions they’ve been taking. Perhaps the Dems and Reps could again use the word “bipartisan” with meaning instead of just mouthing the syllables that make up the word.

   Do you honestly not see a difference between lying to get elected and deciding not to follow through on a promise to help tank the economy?

   Republicans don’t mind if you call them “fees,” like Romneycare’s individual mandate.

   Compromise like the dems demanded? Screamed about for months? Just proves submit to a lib’s demand and they are never satisfied and want more and more.

   Problem is: compromise to a dem means doing it their way.
   
   You seem to forget that Obama offered a compromise with the Republicans during previous budget negotiations of $10 in budget cuts for every $1 in raised taxes. The Republicans refused.

    Not unlike Republicans Scott. This was epitomized by Richard Mourdock saying “have a mindset that says bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view”, to which no one on the right disagreed. Your political observations would carry more weight if they didn’t seem designed to obscure truth rather than highlight it.

    @braindead08

    Obama or a democrat has not flip flopped on any issue?

    Really, you’re that ignorant?

    I think you’re confused.
    I think this was a “hypothetical.”
    But please link us to your source.

    “Oh, and before all the other trolls chime in, calling out a troll is not the same as being one.”

    LOL, since when do you get to make the rules?
    Besides, by your definition, EVERYONE here is a troll.

    No, you are incorrect again.
    Do you have a reading comprehention problem?
    There are about five of you trolls that clutter this site nonstop with with…with troll talk.
    .
    Redirecting the complaint as if it were everyone and not just you is similar to the troll posts you keep putting out.
    You think its cute, we find you less than intelligent.
