In political maneuvers foreshadowing the 2012 presidential and congressional election debates, Democrats are arranging a Senate vote later this week to extend and expand the payroll tax cut.
They want to offset the lost revenue with a 3.25 percent tax on income over $1 million a year, but Republicans vehemently oppose raising taxes on the rich, arguing that would hurt job creation.
If Republicans block the measure, as expected, Democrats would paint them as the party of the rich.
Trying to get ahead of the game, McConnell proclaimed Republican support for the payroll tax cut extension and told reporters his party would soon propose its own ideas for covering the cost of the tax cut.
"The Democrats put them in a box," said Andrew Taylor, a North Carolina State University political science professor. "I think many Republicans realized this is a bad side of the argument to be on."

As a proud Republican, I support cutting spending to cover the lost revenue.
Otherwise, let it expire.

I never said I was for nor against this tax cut.
CON$ pretend to support it, but they will try to prevent passage by requiring paying for it only with a poison pill. There is no way the GOP will allow anything that helps the economy to pass.Republicans back payroll tax cut extension - Yahoo! News
