Five non-Republicans who stood in opposition to Democrat's only trick, class warfare.

Mr. Obama’s preferred plan fell seven votes short of the 60 it needed to advance under Senate rules. The vote was 53 to 36, on a bill adopted by the House on Thursday, that would end the Bush-era cuts on income above $250,000 a year for couples and $200,000 a year for individuals — a step Mr. Obama had hoped to take at the start of this year, but abandoned for fear of worsening the most severe recession since the Great Depression.

Republicans voted unanimously against the House-passed bill, and they were joined by four Democrats — Senators Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, and Jim Webb of Virginia — as well as by Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut.

“You don’t raise taxes if your ultimate goal, if the main thing is to create jobs,” said Senator John Thune, Republican of South Dakota, echoing an argument made repeatedly by his colleagues during the floor debate.

The Senate on Saturday also rejected an alternative proposal, championed by Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, to raise the threshold at which the tax breaks would expire to $1 million. Some Democrats said that the Republicans’ opposition to that plan showed them to be siding with “millionaires and billionaires” over the middle class.

As long as the Democrats recognize the Republicans as the Enemy, they will decay.

The enemy is the problems that confront us. The solution is not posessed by the Dems. if it was, we would not have the problems. Why they cannot see this is beyond me.

Of course, the people who are either losing or have lost the power that they crave in the Congress can be excused because it's just in their nature. The sychophants that kiss up to their heroes who rob them blind and then cheat them and their descendants out of any hope of anything are the ones that leave me confused.

Why would anyone still support the Dems or the Republicans for that matter? They are all bereft of any decency or integrity. The Conservatives need to assert themselves in a big way.

Whether the Conservative has an R after his name like Pence or a D like Manchin, the Conservatives need to Man Up. We need them too much right now to have them go along to get along.

Obama seems to be disappointed too...

Obama "Disappointed" By Senate Tax Votes

Class warfare is getting tired and worn out.
