What do the repukes and teabaggers want next?
They've perfectly manipulated the Prez and Dem Senate into getting everything they want, again. All cuts/no taxes.

So what do they want next? Are they going to finally going to trump up charges and try to impeach Obama? (which doesn't make sense, since he seems to give in to them every time)

1. Oh, you forget, the working class gets a 2% increase in taxes.
The payroll tax cuts will not be extended. Yes, I know, it was eating away at Social Security. But they could have worked a 2% cut for the working class out of something. But no. We all now have a 2% increase in our taxes while the idle rich continue to live in the lap of luxury.

Austerity for the working class, luxury for the idle rich.

2. The next fight will be over the 2012 Budget
The BBA is not going away either. I do not believe impeachment will happen unless Obama commits an actual crime.

3. Without giving it much thought my guess would be tax cuts
Tax cutting is their basic position on everything.

4. Who knows what they'll want next?
Whatever it may be, I'm pretty sure they'll get it.

8. Yea, that's it.
The GOP House passed Ryan's budget, and the GOP members in the Senate pledged at least 40 votes for it.

That's what the opposition looks like.

If the GOP can get a majority in the Senate, and a GOP President, they will kill Medicare.

btw ... here on DU, the claim was that Obama was intentionally using the debt issue to kill Medicare and Social Security. Yup, he was absolutely, positively going to give the GOP major cuts to these programs, gut them, slash them, dismantle them!!!!!!

But now that THAT didn't happen ... those who hate Obama unconditionally need to go in a different direction with their outrage, at least for the moment.

9. Whatever it is - with Obama as President they will get it, or at least most of it.
Our President is weak and lacking in a vision for this nation. He is blown around by any wind the Republicans care to conger up and he always sails with the wind.
