Even the Wall Street Journal has had it with the Republican leaders

How do you not love this? In the Republican leaders' zeal to kill all things Democratic or Obaman, they've finally, finally gone a "bridge too far", even for The Wall Street Journal. Yay. Did you hear about this yet? The Journal did a piece today on how these Rethuglicans screwed up on this tax cut for the Middle Class: The GOP's Payroll Tax Fiasco How did Republicans manage to lose the tax issue to Obama? (link at bottwom) It's just getting better and better. The only way this could be better is if this were about October of next year, right before the election. A couple favorite lines from the article: "The GOP leaders have somehow managed the remarkable feat of being blamed for opposing a one-year extension of a tax holiday that they are surely going to pass. This is no easy double play. Republicans have also achieved the small miracle of letting Mr. Obama position himself as an election-year tax cutter..." What I loathe in their "we're against everything" and "we want America to fail so we can get back in office" is more than a bit made up that they've finally screwed up big time so we all know it. God forbid they should learn anything.
