“We have no intention of allowing the Republican tax increase — that their policies would lead to — to go into effect for working Americans. Period,” he said. “We’re going to act and make sure that the Republican phase out and increase in taxes does not end as they provided for in the laws they passed.”Bush wanted to make those tax cuts permanent. Democrats threatened a filibuster if there wasn't a sunset provision included in the law. In order to get his tax cuts Bush compromised on the sunset provision, but now, in the words of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the "chickens are comin' home to roost". Democrats must either pass an extension of the Bush tax cuts or America will be hit with the largest tax increase in history, and it won't be a "Republican tax increase". It will be solely the responsibility of the Democrats who oppose it.
Nice try Steny. Most Americans aren't as stupid as you hoped.

And most of us know how to use the internet too. Hoyer voted against the original bill in 2003.
Its funny how someone can be so against something for so long (up until last week in Mr. hoyer's case), only to "change his mind" when the possibility of losing status/power occurs.
Of course, we all know that congress critters would never stoop to such levels.
