Where do I start, Mr. Halperin? First, my nerves are just fine, thank you. Second, perhaps you should revisit history, say the history of the past 12 months or so. You'll find the rallying cry of those voting Republicans into office in the mid-term was not "Give tax cuts to the rich!" Matter of fact, the GOP voters are just as unhappy with Mr. Boehner's chicken crap as we are.

In a recent CBS poll, when asked if tax cuts should contine for all, continue for households making less than $250k or expire for all, 52% of Republicans voted against giving the richest of the rich tax cuts.

You see, Mr. Halperin, when voters went to the polls last month, one message was clear: No more business as usual. Reduce the debt and deficit and give us jobs. What is the lame duck Congress doing? The same old chicken crap. Unemployment continues to rise, and the Republicans are stomping their feet, insisting on blowing a huge hole in the deficit so that some very rich people can get a tax break that hasn't created the avalance of jobs it promised.

Here's just a sampling of what angry tea partiers are writing on message boards: "If this is what they (the Republicans) plan to do for the next two years they should start looking for a new job!"

Perhaps the GOP should be nervous, Mr. Halperin.
